Battleborn gets a new campaign and multiplayer mode

Publisher 2K and developer Gearbox has revealed new content for Battleborn, the hero-based shooter with multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) influences. It includes new story content that you can play solo or with friends and a new multiplayer mode, both of which will be available today.

New content like this can keep current players engaged, which is especially important for Battleborn, which has an in-game shop. More players means more people who are likely to buy additional cosmetics and content. We don’t know how well 2K’s shooter is doing, but its release in May was quickly overshadowed by Overwatch, a similar team-based, hero-focused game from Blizzard that has recently passed 20 million players. Rumors have suggested that Battleborn could be going to free-to-play soon, but it remains $40 for now.
