2K Games and Gearbox Software have shared new details regarding the Incursion Mode being included in their upcoming first-person shooter game Battleborn.
This has been described by them as a “strategic competitive multiplayer mode”, and drops the combatants into a warzone with one objective: Driving minions into enemy territory in order to find and destroy their two Sentry Bots. With the players in each instance placed into one of two teams, the challenge is to protect your base from other players while enabling your own minions to enter theirs.
The path to victory is paved with opportunities for strategic players to take advantage of their environment, such as recruiting powerful Thrall mercenaries to fight for your team, or using Shards to activate buildable tactical structures, including Automatic Turrets to attack the enemy, or Healing Stations which regenerate health over time for the team that activates them. Team composition is also critical, and although offensive attackers are important, a good support or healer can be vital to keeping teammates in the fight for the last star in the universe.
The 2K team have shared some more information and their own tactics for this mode via the official Battleborn Blog.
Developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games, Battleborn is set for release on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC starting May 3rd 2016.
