2K confirmed today that Battleborn will require a constant internet connection to play whether you are playing single-player or multiplayer. With the game giving you experience in both modes having a constant connection allows you to keep that data if you’re at a friend’s house or if your system breaks. Xbox Live will also be required to access certain gameplay and functionality which I’m guessing means you won’t be able to play multiplayer but will still have access to the story.
Honestly I agree with the decision completely, I understand some people can’t afford internet but why should that hold other people back? I’m still a bit on the fence about the game but the upcoming open beta will really make or break the game for me. What do you think about this decision? Do you think it’s a good one or that the game should have offline capabilities? Tell us in the comments below.
