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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019ll have to face local competitors, corporate takeover attempts, and galactic mysteries. Turns out, nothing in the Borderlands is more deadly than starting a business.<\/p>\n
Our heroes all have their own unique stories:<\/p>\n
While all three of these characters have their own unique quirks, talents, and dreams, it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n One conscious change we made was removing the \u201chints\u201d 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\u2019ll see. With five possible endings to the game, it\u2019s up to you to discover just how your choices impact each character.<\/p>\n 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 \u2014including Vaultlanders, a mini-game where players must fight to the death <\/em>(with small plastic figures). To the victor go the spoils (i.e. adding the loser\u2019s Vaultlander to their collection).<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52326907800_7b29c9b5ec_4k.jpg\")
