Check out the video above and see Borderlands 3 Lead Level Designer Graeme Timmins take us through an overview of what Proving Grounds is, and what it means for you, the player.

For more Borderlands, be sure to check out the first 14 minutes of Borderlands 3 and a look at four-player Borderlands 3 co-op.
The Gears 5 presentation at Microsoft’s Inside Xbox Gamescom showcase revealed a selection of new features, including the return of Horde mode and a Halo: Reach character pack.
Horde mode returns in a familiar guise with a few modern additions. Once again players will team up in squads to fend off waves of increasingly stronger enemies and bosses, but this time each player takes on the role of a unique character with Ultimate abilities. For example. JD can call in an airstrike, and Kait can use a cloak. Together, the team can build defenses, collect power, and level up skills to become a more effective force. Alongside classic hero characters, players can also play as Jack in Horde mode. The squad’s robot pal doesn’t require cover and can buff nearby allies or hack enemies.
By Ubisoft’s own admission, Ghost War – Ghost Recon Wildlands’ PVP mode – was an afterthought, tacked onto the campaign rather than integrated from the start. In Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Ghost War has been rebuilt from scratch alongside the rest of the game, taking onboard community feedback and lessons learned from Wildlands.
Ghost War is still the same 4-vs-4 game mode at heart, but from the three hours I’ve played it already feels more satisfying, with a number of key improvements combining to make it feel superior to Wildlands in every way.
Wildlands’ sprawling class system has been streamlined in favour of something simpler and more flexible. In Breakpoint there are four classes – Assault, Sharpshooter and Panther were available in the demo I played, plus Medic will also be available in the final game.
Harley Quinn is finally stepping out of the Joker’s shadow for her own moment in the spotlight. Not only is Gotham’s Queenpin of Crime front and center in Warner Bros.’ upcoming Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) on the big screen, she’s also starring in her own adult animated series for DC Universe this October.
The Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco is picking up the mallet and lending her voice to the small-screen version of Harley (as well as executive producing the series), while Alan Tudyk – fresh off his scene-stealing role as Mr. Nobody in DC Universe’s critically-acclaimed Doom Patrol – is playing the Joker (and pulling double-duty as Clayface).
NBA 2K20 once again features a star-studded MyCareer campaign mode, but this year’s has a notably top-tier cast list. Scratch that, it has an insane cast list. Seriously, we don’t know why these people are in an NBA game.
Playing major characters this year are Idris Elba, Rosario Dawson, Ernie Hudson, Lamorne Morris, Maverick Carter, and Lebron James. Oh, and Thomas Middleditch. Yup, Richard Hendricks from Silicon Valley is in NBA 2K20. The world really is that wild.
Idris Elba is probably best known for his roles in The Wire, Pacific Rim, The Office, and this year’s Fast and Furious spin-off, Hobbs & Shaw. It’s great to see an actor of his calibre in NBA, but he’s also joined by Rosario Dawson and Ernie Hudson. Plus, a cast like this wouldn’t be complete without Lebron James, who will also appear in Space Jam 2 in 2021.
