The launch date of May 3rd is getting closer and naturally Gearbox Software and 2K Games are gearing up the marketing for Action-MOBA game Battleborn. On the game's official blog three new champions have now been announced and they go by the name of Whiskey Foxtrot, Kelvin, Shayne and Aurox.
Now that's four names, you might protest, and while that is true the last two are undeniably tied to one another. Here's what the blog says about Shayne and Aurox:
"Shayne is pretty much what you expect from an angsty teenage girl staring down the end of the universe: She's a punk. Hanging around the Detritus Ring in Rogue territory, Shayne's survived by scavenging, picking up work where possible and grabbing anything that wasn't nailed down. What I can't figure out is how she's somehow bonded with a &^@#(-ing creature and is still alive! These things hover in space and eat energy like you'd slurp a bowl of cereal - and she's got this monster tethered to her torso! Well, whatever the case, she's got lots of potential as a scrapper, but a moody kid with that much power? She could be trouble. Useful, but trouble.... I'll let you handle her."
And here's the rundown of the other two:
WHISKEY FOXTROT
"I know he was introduced to me as one of the early groups of "Mike" clones, but there is something really - I think "off" is the word I'm looking for here - with Whiskey Foxtrot. The only item that I've been able to find out about him is a number that keeps coming up in the system: RDC-WF02-1221. I suspect that he has ties to some off-shoot Peacekeeper unit, but all of Whiskey's gear seems cobbled together, scavenged or, in some cases, reverse engineered Peacekeeper tech."
KELVIN
"Miko has to keep reminding me that Kelvin isn't just some big, lumbering Ice Golem - but, I mean, c'mon, this thing is huge! But it's also really small. I still have trouble wrapping my brain around the fact that Kelvin is actually an entire, sentient microorganism civilization taking shape as this huge, hulking Golem. Mental note: Kelvin thrives in the extreme cold of space. Bring a jacket."
