Gearbox has announced that the Battleborn closed Beta, or as the studio calls it the first ’technical test’, will kick off on October 29.
Those who manage to get access to the test will help Gearbox zero in on any technical issues, connection problems, or other bugs and glitches. You can sign up for a chance to play here.
Battleborn features both PVE and PVP elements, and is a team-based shooter set in a colourful sci-fi world, where the player can choose from various Hero classes, each with their own unique skills and weapons. Yes, it’s a bit like Overwatch. And that Cliffy B thing. And the other thousand or so titles like this that have popped up recently.
Incidentally, here’s the recommended specs for those interested in signing up for the Beta:
