Battleborn: Snake Pendles is the new hero, has release date

A new hero, Pendles, is coming to the hero shooter Battleborn.

Pendles, a nasty snake, will be the next hero or villain in Battleborn. This has been known for a while, and now a release date has been announced: On July 28, Pendles will enter Early Access for all Season Pass holders. Officially, he will be available to everyone on August 4. The services of the killer assassin are not exactly cheap – one should have at least 47,500 Credits saved up.

Pendles is incredibly likable, his hobbies include: ambushing opponents, gutting them, or pumping them full of poison and then watching them die slowly. Nice guy.

What else is new in Battleborn besides Pendles in summer 2016

Pendles will not be the only new addition coming to Battleborn soon. With the next update, new maps for Battleborn will also be released. On July 28, the next character, the twenty-eighth, will be introduced. Currently, there are promotions happening with certain deals and taunts in the shop, and the Lootocalypse has been extended until July 25.

Battleborn launched a few months ago but has struggled significantly in the wave of Overwatch, losing a lot of momentum:
