Epic just announced that it will be launching a new MOBA in 2016 called Paragon. From the gameplay trailer above it looks like it pulls some elements from Gears of War, Unreal Tournament and their iOS game Infinity Blade. If you are a MOBA fan 2016 will be a good year as 2K's Battleborn is coming out as well as the very popular League of Legends, DoTA 2 and Heroes of the Storm are getting more attention than ever.
Paragon will launch in 2016 to a paid early access and then later with a summer beta on PC and PS4.

Seems like everyone is trying to get a MOBA and a card game out. It makes sense, they see where the money is, but I do wonder when the well will run dry.
Is Battleborn a MOBA? I'd say it has elements of it, but it's different enough so that it isn't. I played the beta and it certainly didn't feel MOBAish. More team shooterish. Like TF2/Overwatch with some MOBA elements.
Either way, MOBA lovers who also like team shooters will love it :D
They describe it as a hero shooter but it has heavy MOBA elements.
