Yeah, so its no secret that Gearbox's Battleborn didn't sell all that well. Even though it's a fairly decent game that showed a lot of promise. And with low sales and a small player-base, rumours of it moving to a free-to-play model cropped up not that long ago. But even so, it's great to see that both 2K and Gearbox are continuing post-release support for the game with the first of five planned story-based DLC missions dropping today -- called "Attikus and the Thrall Rebellion."

Plus, a new free competitive multiplayer mode called Face-Off where two teams battle each other and the Varelsi to collect their face masks. Here's a trailer to accompany the release of the first Story Operation DLC.

In this Story Op, “Attikus and the Thrall Rebellion” gives you Attikus’ perspective with a film noir flair. Play as any of the Battleborn heroes to fight your way through the streets and rooftops of the Tempest slums.
Experience these highly replayable Story Operations solo or co-op with up to two buddies. Each time you relive the Thrall Rebellion, you can unlock new lore, skins, titles, and taunts. Not to mention all the dialogue, enemies, and objectives that change depending on your current playthrough.
