Gearbox has announced that October 21st will see a release for New Tales from the Borderlands, a sequel to Telltale Games’ critically acclaimed Tales from the Borderlands! The title will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

The Borderlands aren’t just home to Vault Hunters, Bandits, and weapons-corp CEOs—they’re also full of downtrodden, intrepid civilians just trying to live under the oppressive, designer wing-tips of the 1%. Something has to give!

The narrative-driven adventure game takes place in the war-torn metropolis of Promethea. Players will take control of protagonists Anu, Octavio, and Fran as they live through the worst day of their lives. It’s down to the player to make difficult choices as they take on “vicious vault monsters”, “cold-hearted capitalists”, and protect their world from a planetary invasion.

It’s time to fight back against exploitation and corporate greed. It’s time to make Mayhem your business.

New Tales from the Borderlands Key Features

A listing for New Tales from the Borderlands leaked early on Amazon, describing some of the title’s key features.

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 claw and con your way through this thrilling five-part story!

The Borderlands aren’t just home to Vault Hunters, psychos, and weapons-corp CEOs—they’re full of downtrodden, intrepid civilians just trying to get by. With a host of returning and fresh faces, this unforgettable tale is sure to delight fans new and old.
