New Tales from the Borderlands has been launched and offers players a new choice-based and narrative adventure game that expands the universe even further. It's available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. It's also out for PC through the Epic Games Store and Steam.
The game takes place in the perpetually war-torn metropolis of Meridian City with players taking on the role of three lovable losers on the worst day of their lives. Experience deep and immersive story scenes along with mini-games and free-walk sequences. Just remember that each choice can affect how the story unfolds, and often, in unexpected ways.
Features of New Tales from the Borderlands include:
- Three Nobodies on a Mission
- 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 need to claw and con your way through this exciting five-part story full of gun-toting goons, otherworldly beasts, and even delicious tacos.
- An Explosive Cinematic Adventure
- The Borderlands aren't just home to Vault Hunters, bandits, and weapons-corp CEOs. There are also the usual downtrodden and intrepid civilians just trying to get by.
- Meet a host of returning and fresh faces including an assassin bot with comedic aspirations and a less-murderous-than-usual bandit.
- This unforgettable tale is sure to make fans new and old happy.
- You Control the Final Outcome
- The decisions made determine how the story ends.
- This can be Anu's vision of a universe where technology is used to save lives instead of destroying them, Octavio's dreams of fame and fortune, or Fran's frosty plot for revenge.
In a statement, Gearbox Entertainment Company founder Randy Pitchford revealed that for this new game, the concept and writing was all thanks to a collaboration between those who worked on the original Tales from the Borderlands and an all-Gearbox production.
