Pendles coming to Battleborn on July 28th, brings character roster up to 27!
Get ready for a brand new character arriving in Battleborn next week! Pendles will soon be joining the ranks of Battleborn as he makes his debut as the 27th character on July 28th if you're a Season Pass Owner (or August 4th for everyone else). We got our first Summer update for Battleborn yesterday which included New Summer Fun skins and taunts!
Pendles
He's a cold-blooded killer, Pendles hails from the same water-world as Alani, Akopos. As most adolescent Roa do, Pendles left home to explore and learn about other cultures. Completely unimpressed with these new learnings, Pendles found more enjoyment in murdering those cultures. Even better, people would pay him for his new found hobby. Don’t let his sweet pair of sneakers fool you. This assassin will sneak up behind you, poison you, eviscerate you with duel kamas, then slink away again in a blink of his one remaining eye.
The update is available right now with Pendles coming next week!
