Gearbox deelt DLC-plannen voor Battleborn

Gearbox heeft de verdere DLC-plannen voor Battleborn uit de doeken gedaan. Zo komen er nog (minstens) vier nieuwe heroes bij, gratis. Pendles verschijnt volgende maand al. Ook komen er nog drie nieuwe PvP mappen, één voor elke mode. In de herfst wordt ook nog een compleet nieuwe PvP mode geïntroduceerd, gevolgd door nog een nieuwe PvP mode, eveneens in de herfst of anders in de winter. Wat premium DLC betreft mogen we tegen het einde van de zomer de eerste story DLC verwachten, waarna nog vier andere story DLC's zullen volgen, waarvan de laatste in de winter. Hieronder het volledige overzicht:

Free DLC Content

• 4 more heroes, bringing the total to 30
  • Pendles – coming soon in July
  • Three more heroes to be revealed in late Summer through the Fall
• Three new PVP Maps in the next couple of weeks, one for each mode
• Broadcaster Mode coming hopefully next month
  • Broadcaster mode will allow you to spectate the battlefield using a set of third-person camera controls to follow players on either team, jump to points of interest, or to move freely around the battlefield in Private Versus Matches.
• In-game Reporting, our goal is to include it in the next major patch update for July
  • In the interest of making it easier to report players who are trying to ruin the fun for everyone, we’ve created an in-game reporting function that will be accessible through the scoreboard and allow you to flag players who are suspected of cheating, abandoning games, or ruining the overall experience.
• Matchmaking Adjustments: Ongoing
  • We regularly adjust and tweak matchmaking parameters in order to keep improving the matchmaking process. In fact, we’ll be testing out an overhaul to the matchmaking system starting later this week.
• Hero Balancing: Ongoing
  • As we gather data from matches and mission, we’ll continue to adjust and refine hero balance in the game. You can expect a bigger adjustment to 24 of the 26 characters likely coming in the next couple of weeks.
• Lore Challenges: Upcoming major patch
  • We are working on adjustments to lore requirements as well as how those requirements are tracked.
• New PVP mode this Fall
• Another new PVP mode in late Fall or Winter
• Weekly hot fixes as well as regular updates and patches
