Border Break is a popular mech combat arcade game in Japan that lets players customize their own mech to participate in 10-vs-10 player battles. It was first released in Japan in September 2009, and it was also brought over to arcades in Taiwan and Hong Kong in 2010.
The recently announced PlayStation 4 version will be the first time ever Border Break is getting a release on consoles. This game will be free-to-play with unlimited play sessions without any stamina system involved, although there will still be some other forms of microtransaction existing. It is going to be released sometime in 2018, and a physical release with additional bonuses is also being planned by SEGA.
