The creators of the popular first-person shooter franchise Borderlands 2 announced its newest game franchise, Battleborn, a hybrid first-person shooter and multi-player online battle arena.

Battleborn, which was announced via GameInformer, is described by developer Gearbox Software as a "hero-shooter experience" that is "an ambitious fusion of genres." Users will be able to play online co-op or competitive games on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

“Battleborn represents the combined might of the development and publishing teams behind the success of Borderlands 2, which to date has sold in more than 9 million units worldwide and has become 2K’s highest-selling game of all time,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.

The only other details released about Battleborn was a cinematic trailer, which you can watch above, that showcases some of the games heroes.

Battleborn will debut during 2K's 2016 fiscal year, which ends March 31, 2016.
