2K and Gearbox Want Fans to Think of Battleborn Like a TV Show

The line between Television and gaming as entertainment mediums is forever blurring. With games now often being released in episodic formats and crossovers between hit shows and gaming abundant, it’s a good time to be a fan of both television and games. 2K and Gearbox are hoping to bring the two mediums closer together, as Battleborn will take a TV-style approach to make players the star of the show.

The Borderlands creators stated that they think of the third of May as the game’s “season premiere”. The story mode of the game is being released over time and structured like a show. . Collectively, the “season” included with the game has one large over-arching story spanning eight episodes (plus a prologue), and each episode tells a self-contained story about your heroes’ fight to save the last star, Solus. You can get a glimpse of this story in the new trailer above.
