Har du, som många andra, lirat Battleborn de första veckorna och redan nu börjat längta efter nya karaktärer att slakta dina motståndare som? Nu har Gearbox Software, på sin blogg, utannonserat den första av fem kommande nya kämpar. Hon heter Alani och är en munk/healer med gälar. Hon släpps ut i det fria den 31 maj, medans de av er som sitter på en Digital Deluxe-version av spelet (eller ett Season Pass) kan spela som Alani redan den 24 maj. Förutom släppet av Alani får spelare även XP-bonus från idag till den 25 maj. Deltog du dessutom i den öppna betan på Playstation 4 väntar lite härliga bonusar. Låter det intressant? Läs informationen nedan!
It's only been a couple weeks since Battleborn was unleashed on the world and already new heroes are joining the fight to save the last star! The first of five new free playable characters - Alani, the warrior-monk healer - releases on Tuesday, May 31st for all platforms and can be unlocked for 47,500 credits earned in-game. Can't wait that long? Digital Deluxe and Season Pass holders will not only be able to instantly unlock Alani using a Hero Key (more on these keys below), they will also be able to play Alani early starting on Tuesday, May 24th!
A member of the Eldrid faction who was raised as a healer, but forced to be a warrior, Alani is all that remains of her order after Rendain's Jennerit Imperium stole the oceans from her world. As a warrior from a planet with vast seas, Alani's attacks and abilities revolve around her power to control water to dish out pain, or heal her fellow Battleborn. Check back on May 24th for her full reveal and in the meantime, here's a first-look at Alani fully rendered in-game.
Hero Keys
Want to unlock Ghalt before getting to Command Rank 40? Then you're in luck! Starting with the release of Alani, Digital Deluxe and Season Pass holders will receive one Hero Key to instantly unlock ANY hero in the game with each new hero release. To use a key, just head to the Battleborn Character screen in the Command Center and choose the character you want to unlock. You can also use these keys to instantly unlock newly released heroes like Alani, saving you the time it would otherwise take to earn enough credits to do that.
Here's even more good news: Hero Keys are reusable! If you complete the challenge objective or reach the required Command Rank at any time after unlocking a hero using a Hero Key, then that Hero Key will be returned to you and you can then use that Hero Key to unlock another hero.
PlayStation 4 Open Beta Bonus
As a thank you to PS4 players who participated in the Open Beta, they will receive a Hero Key to instantly unlock Alani on May 24th or another hero of their choice, as well as the first Battleborn DLC Pack Story Operation upon release. For those PS4 Open Beta players who also purchased a Season Pass or Digital Deluxe Edition, they will receive an additional Hero Key (bringing the grand total to six throughout the release of Season Pass content).
As you can see, we're gearing up for a summer of awesome new content. The release of Alani is just the beginning of many free updates we're planning. You can see what else we have in store for future content in this post. And this weekend? It's time to double-up on your XP!
