Gearbox Software has announced that New Tales from the Borderlands, a spiritual successor to Telltale Games’ Tales from the Borderlands, is coming on October 21. The new game won’t be a direct follow-up to the original game; instead, New Tales from the Borderlands will follow a new cast of characters.
“[New Tales from the Borderlands] takes place on Promethea, which Borderlands 3 fans will recognize,” Gearbox Software director of production James Lopez told GameSpot. “It takes place about a year after the Maliwan and Children of the Vault invasion and their subsequent war with Atlas–a reconstruction phase.”
In New Tales from the Borderlands, you control altruistic scientist Anu, her ambitious and streetwise little brother Octavio, and the fierce, violence-first-questions-later Fran. The trio of misfits finds themselves working together in an increasingly dangerous situation as they try to secure a Vault Key to access the untold riches and power potentially hidden away in an unopened Vault.
