League of Legends has champions, DOTA 2 requires heroes, and in Battleborn they are...‘Battleborn’. The game is set release worldwide on May 3rd next month for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows.

Unlike most of its peers, Battleborn is an online first-person shooting game that will blow your mind. Battleborn also has “multiplayer online battle arena” elements, in which players engage in combat through a “first-person perspective.” Unlike other first-person shooters, the quests and game modes of the game were designed to feature a format and structure similar to a “multiplayer online battle arena” game. The game will also feature a leveling system, which resets when a match begins. Players start with the same basic level, and they can unlock new skills and abilities during a match. When players gain enough skill points and are allowed to level up, they can select one of up to three choices to pick per level through each characters' unique Helix Tree.

The game will feature 25 playable characters upon release, with each having different abilities and weapons. For example, Rath is a melee-based character who is equipped with a katana, while Thorn is a long-ranged character, whose primary weapon is a bow. Characters of supporting role, such as Miko, who specializes in healing other characters of the same team, will also be playable. Each character also has their own "ultimate ability". In addition to melee and ranged combat, characters can also cast magic and area-of-effect attacks. Players can also switch to “third-person perspective” to activate special abilities.

E3 Gameplay Demo

A campaign mode, which can be played through solo or co-op with four other players, will also be included in the game. The game will feature an interconnected world and an objective-driven narrative. The three modes in the game are: Meltdown, Arena, and Incursion, which tasks players to destroy enemies' base, and Devastation, which tasks players to capture bases, will also be playable upon launch.

It was confirmed that the game requires a persistent Internet connection to play due to the game's progression and saving systems.

Battleborn is similar to Overwatch because of their team battles. In my opinion, I would rather Overwatch because of how fun it must be to shoot everybody, instead of just focusing on missions all the time.

For those of you who are Battleborn fans, get ready to shoot like there is no tomorrow!
