Two Battleborn Characters Playable Soon in Rock Band 4

During Gearbox Software’s PAX East 2016 panel, the developer announced that it’ll be teaming up with Harmonix to bring two Battleborn characters to Rock Band 4. Both Thorn and Miko will be playable “soon.” An official description of the characters is as follows:

Teshka Elessamorn—nicknamed “Thorn” for her short temper—was the last child born to her homeworld before the Varelsi claimed it. Armed with her longbow, Kreshek, she now ranges the wilds of Ekkunar, fueled by her own boundless fury.

The last surviving bud of a planet-spanning fungal colony, the otherworldly Miko is regarded as a capable “combat botanist”, healing and protecting its allies while hurling poison-tipped kunai at pretty much everything else.

A release date for the update hasn’t been announced.
