2K and Gearbox showed off one of the first looks at Battleborn's three competitive multiplayer modes: Capture, Meltdown, and Incursion. Beyond the new trailer reveal, the studio also announced that a Battleborn open beta is coming in 2016 for all platforms but will see an early launch on the PlayStation 4.
This week, a smaller beta kicks off on October 29 across all platforms. This beta will include the Meltdown mode and a story mission called The Algorithm featuring 15 out of the game's 25 heroes.
Battleborn’s team-based competitive multiplayer action can be experienced by up to 10 players online in 5v5 matches, and includes three distinct multiplayer modes.
• Capture: Teams of heroes face off in a fast-paced death match and must capture and hold objectives on the map to win.
• Meltdown: Teams of heroes must guide their minions as they march to their death at the center of the map. Points are scored for every minion who throws themselves into the incinerator, and the team with the most points wins.
• Incursion: Teams of heroes must defend their base from waves of AI-controlled minions while working together alongside their own minions to destroy their opponent’s base. Tutorial videos for all three modes can be found on the official Battleborn blog.
