DLC Story Operation

Join the Battleborn hero Attikus as he relives the third Thrall uprising that sparked a revolution within the Jennerit Empire. Play solo as any Battleborn hero or co-op with up to two buddies as you fight your way through the streets and rooftops of the Tempest slums in “Attikus and the Thrall Rebellion.”

All five of the upcoming Story Operations are included in the Season Pass and Digital Deluxe editions of Battleborn. If you’re not already on-board for the DLC, each Story Op can be purchased individually for 700 Platinum at the in-game Marketplace.

Check out this post for an in-depth look into the first Story Operation.

Open Beta Players: If you played on PS4 during the Battleborn Open Beta back in April, then you get the first DLC Story Operation “Attikus and the Thrall Rebellion” upon release, and a hero key when you purchase the retail version of Battleborn!

New Competitive Multiplayer Mode

The brand new free Competitive Multiplayer Mode, Face-Off, also arrives today in Battleborn! Fight against the enemy team and the invading Varelsi forces in this intense, multi-phase mode.

Hack, slash, blast, and crush your way through Varelsi and pick up the masks they drop. Deposit the masks for points. The first team to 500 wins. Of course killing Varelsi makes them mad. Prepare for the Varelsi to get tougher and boss battles as they attempt to throw a wrench in your plans.

Face-Off is free for everyone who owns Battleborn. Learn more about this new Competitive Multiplayer Mode in this post.
