Tales from the Borderlands sequel revealed, coming later this year

The episodic, story-driven Borderlands spinoff, Stories from the Borderlands, gets a sequel. The sequel is expected later this year, with an official announcement for the game in the summer.

The teaser came from Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford at PAX East 2022. Pitchford spoke of the affinity that players have for the games’ characters and how the team at 2K and Gearbox have an “interest in bringing the Borderlands universe to life to develop new ways”.

More specifically, Pitchford shared, “I’m talking about a brand new Tales from the Borderlands adventure.”

As a result, Pitchford went on to say that the brand new installment, Tales from the Borderlands, is expected later in 2022, published by 2K Games and developed by Gearbox Software. It seems that the game has been in development secretly for some time, according to Pitchford.

It will be interesting to see how the sequel turns out. We already know we’ll be expecting a host of new characters and stories, so there’s every chance we won’t see Handsome Jack or any other familiar faces again.

Also, Tales from the Borderlands was originally developed by Telltale Games, which received critical acclaim for its episodic narrative and charming characters. Will Gearbox Software live up to the weirdness and allure of the original game?

Only time will tell, and after assuming Tales from the Borderlands was over for so long, it’s nice to see so many fans enjoying the surprise reveal.

We’ve already seen the Borderlands spin-off, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, receive a lot of love so far this year, and we can expect the Borderlands movie to be released soon too, which I don’t have high hopes for. Either way, Borderlands fans have a lot to look forward to right now!
