The pieces are finally coming together as we near the release of Gearbox’s upcoming FPS-MOBA hybrid Battleborn. Rounding out the game’s cast of twenty five playable characters are cybernetically enhanced space luchador El Dragon and the crotchety old mad scientist Kleese.
After losing both arms to a rogue AI in a wrestling match, El Dragon is back and equipped with cybernetic arms priovided by the Last Light Consortium, one of Battleborn’s five factions. With them, he can deliver punch combos, heavy claps, power his attacks up with fire, and even steer himself during a splash attack from above.
If you’re more inclined towards energy weaponry and the power of science, then Kleese is your man. The former head of Minion Robotics gently hovers around the battlefield in a specially designed battle throne bristling with lasers, mortars, and black hole generators.
These two will be at your disposal in Battleborn‘s single, co-op, and competitive multiplayer modes come May 3, when it hits Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. In the meantime, check out the individual skill overview trailers for each character.
