News Borderlands Dev's Battleborn Beta Will Begin 8th April on PS4

Yay?

Gearbox Software's sense of humour may prompt more raised brows than a certain politician with an exuberant comb over here at Push Square Towers, but that doesn't mean we can entirely forget that Battleborn exists – much as we'd obviously like to.
