If you are the type to follow video game news diligently, you are aware that the existence of New Tales from the Borderlands had leaked a few days before. For its officialization, it was not until the Opening Night Live of gamescom 2022 that 2K Games and Gearbox Software revealed to us the images, the first video and the details on this new episode which follows the game developed by Telltale in 2015. Since Gearbox now owns the rights to the game, a drastic change has been made for this license, starting with its completely new story and characters. This time, we'll meet Anu the altruistic scientist, Octavio his ambitious brother with a certain glibness and Fran the ferocious ice cream thrower. All three will evolve within the metropolis of Prometheus where a civil war reigns. To embody chaos, we will be dealing with a monster from the Ark and a capitalist who will stop at nothing.
Otherwise, this New Tales from the Borderlands will offer gameplay that will evolve according to the player's choices, which will have an impact (big or small) on the course of the story. At least that is what is announced in the press release. It is also indicated that the game is developed by Gearbox Quebec, but in collaboration with members of the original Telltale Games team, so that the handover is done with a smile. In any case, the game is coming very quickly, given that the release date has been set for October 21, 2022 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, PS4 and Xbox One. The game will be offered in the Standard Edition (digital version only) at a price of €39,99, while the Deluxe Edition (available in physical and digital version) will be offered at €49,99, and which has the particularity of integrating the first Tales from the Borderlands.
