2K and Gearbox today have released a free trial for Battleborn, giving people the opportunity to play all of the multiplayer in a marror that look like the game has become free to play.
In the free version, you have access to a rotating group of six heroes (30 in all), as well as all the gameplay modes and maps. Progression for each character is permanently applied, so when it comes back into rotation, you can keep playing and not have to start again.
The “free downloadable experience,” has no time limits or level caps and content that can be unlocked or purchased on a piece-by-piece basis. It looks a lot like a free to play moved to us here at ToT. But they said they have no plans to make the game free to play back in September 2016.
Pitchford today insisted on Twitter following the announcement that the change does not make Battleborn free-to-play, and that it “is retail with DLC” and a free trial.
Battleborn remains available for purchase as DLC on Steam for $30/£25/€30
Gamers who purchased Battleborn before today are upgraded to Founder status, which comes with in-game currency and flair.
