HOW GEARBOX DESIGNED NEW TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS AS A SPIRITUAL SUCCESSOR

Producer Frédéric Scheubel shares details on the cast and gameplay of this
story-driven follow up, out October 21.

Frédéric Scheubel Producer, Gearbox Studio Québec

Return to the Borderlands in the raucous New Tales from the Borderlands. The
upcoming choice-based, narrative adventure developed by Gearbox Software is set
to launch on October 21.

This all new story brings fresh and familiar faces, new settings, and an
original, captivating story while keeping the sci-fi aesthetic and irreverent
humor that Borderlands fans have come to know and love. Carrying on the same
spirit of adventure as the original 2014 fan-favorite from Telltale, New Tales
from the Borderlands is an unforgettable single-player experience. 

Play Video


In New Tales from the Borderlands, players take control of three loveable
losers, Anu, Octavio, and Fran, guiding them through an epic adventure full of
ruthless corporations, terrifying creatures, and talking guns. Discover new and
familiar locations in the Borderlands universe, along with a host of compelling
characters. 

After a series of unfortunate events, our three underdogs find themselves
uniquely positioned to open a Vault and use its otherworldly contents to create
a universe-changing technology. In their rush to market, they’ll have to face
local competitors, corporate takeover attempts, and galactic mysteries. Turns
out, nothing in the Borderlands is more deadly than starting a business.

Our heroes all have their own unique stories:

 
 * Anuradha Dhar – In a universe run by gun corporations, Anu is a do-gooder who
   dreams of a world where no one has to kill to get ahead. She can see complex
   calculus, probabilities and solve puzzles with her Tech Glasses. Although she
   might be uncomfortable in social settings, she has no problem solving
   problems. 

 
 * Octavio Wallace Dhar – Anu’s adopted brother, Octavio, is a hustler with a
   heart of gold who dreams of making it big on the planet of Promethea.
   According to him, he’s Meridian City’s most popular citizen with a long list
   of contacts to back it up. His ability to access information is like no
   other, and he is looking for his moment to strike gold.

 
 * Francine Miscowicz – Fran is a successful frogurt shop owner in Meridian
   City… or she was, until Maliwan blew a hole in her shop with a giant laser
   and then Tediore finished the job. Now she’s out for vengeance on the people
   who destroyed her dream. She’s strong, fierce, capable and, thanks to her
   hoverchair’s many gadgets, deadly. She’ll stop at nothing to protect her
   friends and get what’s coming to her.

While all three of these characters have their own unique quirks, talents, and
dreams, it’s ultimately up to the player to choose the dialogue and decisions
that shape their story. Choice is at the heart of the game and you have the
power to determine how the story unfolds.

One conscious change we made was removing the “hints” that show which choices
have long-term impact. We did this because we believe every input is a choice,
and every choice matters. All choices have immediate impact by means of
character responses, often filled with humor. However, they can also have
ramifications on how events unfold further into the story and will ultimately
affect which ending you’ll see. With five possible endings to the game, it’s up
to you to discover just how your choices impact each character.

While choosing what Anu, Octavio, and Fran say and do makes up the core
gameplay, New Tales from the Borderlands also features free walk sequences where
you can explore and interact with the environment, simple puzzles for players to
enjoy, and mini-games —including Vaultlanders, a mini-game where players must
fight to the death (with small plastic figures). To the victor go the spoils
(i.e. adding the loser’s Vaultlander to their collection).

 

Gearbox Software’s development of the game was led by our incredible team at
Gearbox Studio Québec, with many experienced Borderlands developers coming
together to craft a narrative experience like no other. Gearbox also partnered
with key alumni from the original Telltale Games Tales from the Borderlands
narrative team to deliver a spiritual successor to the original Tales.

The game is broken up into five chapters—all of which are available at launch on
October 21, 2022! Plus, after your initial playthrough, you can replay any
chapter you want—a great option for players looking to experience the
consequences of every decision.

Keep your eyes peeled for additional New Tales from the Borderlands news on
Borderlands socials and pre-order the game before its release on October 21,
2022.
