PC Specs for Battleborn, Other Details Revealed

You know, the more I think about it, it seems like Battleborn and Overwatch are opposites. From a narrative perspective, at least: both are multiplayer character based FPS arena combat games with a similar art style. Both are science fiction. both have a colorful cast of whacky, imaginative characters with a heavy focus on story. But while Overwatch takes place in what's ultimately a "utopian" future, and is competitive, Battleborn takes place in such a massively hopeless universe that there's only one star left in the entire universe that hasn't been extinguished, and the heroes are desperately (and cooperatively) fighting to prevent it's death.

That's pretty much the opposite of a utopia.

Anyway. Overwatch is out and having a swinging time being pretty okay, and now it's just time for its narrative opposite to come to the field. We've still got a few months until that happens, but in the meantime, developer 2K has gone ahead and given us just about all the Battleborn information we could possibly want.

Most important among those being the minimum and recommended PC specs: the features don't really matter if you can't play the damn thing. Anyway, here's what they’re looking for--

But it also shared other things: namely, that the game would have split-screen co-op (way to spit in my face there, 2k), a competitive battle mode with three different modes, several different progression trees, and more details about the attacker, defender, and support categories.
