The standalone, choice-based interactive narrative adventure set in the Borderlands universe has finally unveiled everything anticipating players have been waiting for since it was announced earlier this year. New Tales from the Borderlands developers Gearbox Software and 2K Games have released 18 minutes of gameplay, provided a character trailer to give a deeper look at the three loveable losers that the players will control throughout the story, and gave us a release date!
This new game is being developed with partnered key alumni of the original Telltale Games narrative team to craft the all-new story. This should ensure their spiritual successor carries forward the same bold sense of adventure and storytelling with a standalone narrative full of heartwarming emotion, a new cast, and classic Borderlands humor.
In the character reveal trailer above, we meet our protagonists, which include the altruistic scientist Anu, her ambitious, "streetwise" brother Octavio, and the fierce, frogurt-slinging Fran. Then below, in the gameplay video, fans get their first taste of the deep, raucous cinematic adventure where the ruthless corporations of the Borderlands, powerful universe-changing Vault technology and three ordinary citizens collide.
New Tales from the Borderlands is set to release on October 21st for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Anticipating players can pre-order now to get the Adventure Capital Pack, featuring cosmetics for Anu, Octavio, and Fran, 10,000 in-game currency, and an in-game FL4K Vaultlander collectible.
