[btarunr]

Today, 2K and Gearbox Software announced that New Tales from the Borderlands, a new standalone, choice-based interactive narrative adventure set in the Borderlands universe, will be available worldwide on October 21, 2022. Beginning today, consumers can pre-order on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

New Tales from the Borderlands immerses players in a deep and original story full of unexpected turns, heartwarming emotion, and classic Borderlands humor. Within the perpetually war-torn metropolis of Promethea, players will decide the fates of three underdogs out to make mayhem their business, with altruistic scientist Anu, her ambitious "streetwise" brother Octavio, and the fierce, frogurt-flinging Fran.



Players will face down a planetary invasion, vicious vault monster, and cold-hearted capitalists in this cinematic thrill ride where what happens next depends on their decisions. Every choice big or small can impact how the story unfolds, often in unexpected ways, and only by playing through the game will players fully understand how their decisions can change the Borderlands.

New Tales from the Borderlands is developed by Gearbox Software, led primarily by Gearbox Quebec - an incredible team with a deep history of creating compelling Borderlands narrative experiences. Gearbox Software also partnered with key alumni of the original Telltale Games narrative team to craft the all-new story in New Tales from the Borderlands.

Key features of New Tales from the Borderlands include:

• THE UNDERDOG STORY OF THREE LOVABLE LOSERS - Decide the fates of altruistic scientist Anu, her ambitious, "streetwise" brother Octavio, and the fierce, frogurt-slinging Fran. With nothing left to lose and everything to gain, you'll claw and con your way through this thrilling five-part story;
• AN EXTRAORDINARY CINEMATIC ADVENTURE - The Borderlands aren't just home to Vault Hunters, psychos, and weapons-corp CEOs; they're full of downtrodden, intrepid civilians just trying to get by. With a host of returning and fresh faces, this unforgettable tale is sure to delight fans new and old;
• YOUR CHOICES SHAPE THE OUTCOME - The decisions you make determine how your story ends in unexpected ways. Whether it's Anu's vision of a universe that markets more than weapons, Octavio's dreams of fame and fortune, or Fran's frosty plot for revenge, their success or failure depends on you.

Pre-order 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!* Two editions with digital bonus content allow players to select the option that's right for them:

• Standard Edition (Digital Only) for $39.99;
• Deluxe Edition (Digital + Physical) for $49.99, which also includes Tales from the Borderlands

Gearbox is so devoid of creativity that they can't even think of a good name for this particular Borderlands recycling. Just slapped "New" on the front of the previous one, seriously?

Please try making something original Gearbox, and let Borderlands die a nice quiet death, instead of dragging the franchise out to the point where it becomes a laughing stock. Or license it to someone who actually cares more about it than how much money it can make.

Well, there is a lot of fans of the series, such as myself, that love the games. No matter how much they "milk" it. I can't wait for it.

Same, I love the Borderlands franchise and I've been playing it since Borderlands 1 day 1 and I will play this one too at some point.
Sure this is more like a side story game like the first telltale BL game was but I kinda liked it, getting to know more backstory of the game's world is not a bad thing and yes fans like such. 'finally a bit of backstory of Tediore, after everyone made fun of them in the previous games '

Why not make a third person borderlands game?

I love the franchise but I simply couldn't bring myself to play BL3. It is literally the same game as BL2 except they made the plot and characters annoying rather than interesting or funny.

The thing about Gearbox is that by using the old title plus the New they are poking fun at themselves. Borderlands is always quite self aware in their work. I've been playing Borderlands since the beginning and although 3 was a step back after the best villain ever, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is an amazing new entry. I know that Borderlands isn't everyone's cup of tea, but there are a lot of fans who disagree with the thought of the series going away. Just play something else and let the fans enjoy Borderlands
