A new crazy and zany adventure from Gearbox Software is on the way as New Tales From The Borderlands has officially been announced. This is everything you need to know about the new addition to the Borderlands franchise.

The Borderlands series has produced some of the most compelling and insane characters and missions we’ve seen in RPG games. Along with their cel-shaded graphics and tight gunplay, the games have a certain appeal that has kept fans coming back for more over the years.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was a successful spin-off and the movie is well underway. But now a brand new Borderlands game has been announced called New Tales From The Borderlands. Here’s everything we know.

Who is developing New Tales From The Borderlands?

Unlike the first Tales From The Borderlands game which was developed by Telltale Games, the sequel is instead being developed in-house by Gearbox Software themselves.

Problems at Telltale Games led to the closure of the company and, even though it’s been restructured and is under new management now, Gearbox have decided they wanted to be hands-on with the newest iteration in the series.
