2k and Gearbox have announced that the first person shooter, Battleborn, will be released around the globe on February 9, 2016. In addition, four new heroes were revealed during this week's Gamescom: Ambra, Mellka, Reyna and Benedict.
Ambra: Born into an ancient order of priestesses responsible for discovering a way to prolong life indefinitely, Ambra was betrayed by her leader and her faction, the Jennerit Empire, and now fights alongside the Battleborn. She is a specialist hero, dealing damage up close through her melee attacks and powerful abilities, while healing her allies in the process.
Mellka: A stealthy assassin, Mellka lost her parents at a young age before eventually earning her place among the Eldrid’s black op’s and intelligence bureau. Her life has been defined by a series of staggering losses, but her response to these losses was never despair – it was fury. She strikes quickly, disorienting foes with her nerve gas machine pistol and bio-glaive melee attacks.
Reyna: Known by her followers as “The Valkyrie,” Reyna was born aboard the Rogue faction’s ailing junk heap of a flagship and is a native to the last star system. Reyna has fought tirelessly for the freedom of her space pirate comrades, finding her calling as their inspirational leader. She dishes damage with her laser pistol and uses her command glove to support her teammates.
Benedict: August Benedict Jr. is one of several surviving races of bird-like “Aviant” refugees. He swore allegiance to the Peacekeepers where he’s gained considerable notoriety for being a self-centered jerk that’s capable of astounding destruction with his rocket launcher. Double jumping, rocket jumping, and flying – Benedict’s good at all of them and he lets his teammates know it.

I am so good, I backstabbed your face!
What similarities? Overwatch is not a FPS MOBA. Its straight FPS team death match.
Battleborn looks alright, not really liking the characters so far though.
My problem is some die hard Borderlands fans I play with saw this and said OK but where is Borderlands 3. They were disappointed with the Presequel and aren't rushing for this release.
I'm definitely buying Battleborn & enjoyed the Presequel. Handsome Jack & Claptrap were fun - running out of O2 not so much.
