A possible mistake on Amazon’s listings has potentially revealed the release date for the upcoming New Tales from the Borderlands, a brand-new point-and-click adventure game set in the wider Borderlands universe of games and media. The game was first announced without a title during developer Gearbox Software’s PAX East Panel, and now it appears that the game, alongside its full title, release date, and more, has been revealed.
While the Amazon listings are deleted at the time of writing, a publication has managed to grab the game’s overview as well as certain pre-order bonuses and its upcoming platforms. New Tales from the Borderlands will feature new characters for players to enjoy this narrative adventure with, and they are Anu, Octavio, and Fran. On what is considered to be the worst day of their lives within the war-torn metropolis of Promethea, these three are thrust into an adventure that can change the world – and perhaps even save it.
Along the way, Anu, Octavio, and Fran will face a planetary invasion, a new, vicious vault monster, and the usual cold-hearted capitalist. As with the previous Tales from the Borderlands , your choices throughout the game will decide how the journey ultimately ends in this five-part story featuring misfits, assassin bots, talking guns, and so much more.
Also suggested within the overview for New Tales from the Borderlands is the return of faces from within the Borderlands universe, although we’re not yet sure when the game is set in the wider timeline of the franchise. New Tales from the Borderlands is a sequel of sorts to Tales of the Borderlands , another point-and-click adventure game from Telltale Games. After the developer’s unfortunate bankruptcy a couple of years back, 2K Games managed to retain the IP and has since promised to continue the series.
Pre-order bonuses for New Tales from the Borderlands include the “Adventure Capital Pack,” consisting of cosmetics for Anu, Octavio, and Fran, as well as 10,000 in-game currency and a FL4K Vaultlander collectible in-game.
New Tales from the Borderlands is set for release on October 21 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, as per the listings.
