Five additional heroes will be added after launch, completely free, bringing the total roster of playable characters to 30.
Additionally, new competitive multiplayer modes, maps, balance updates, and community features will also be free.
The first of the five new heroes will be Alani, “a member of the Eldrid faction who was raised as a healer, but forced to be a warrior, and 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.”
PlayStation 4 players who participate in the upcoming Open Beta will instantly unlock Alani once she’s available after launch. Otherwise, she’ll be unlocked by playing through the game.

Five add-on packs are planned for release post-launch. They’ll cost $4.99 each or $19.99 for a Season Pass including all five.
Each add-on pack includes one new Story Operation, as well as exclusive hero skins and taunts. These Player-versus-Enemy Operations will be replayable solo, co-operatively online, or split-screen, and let you experience new side-stories.
Battleborn is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on May 3.
