Gearbox has announced that a new Tales From The Borderlands game will be released in 2022. It will be developed by Gearbox and published by 2K, while promising a “new adventure, new characters, and new tales”.

The new Tales From The Borderlands was announced during a PAX East 2022 panel by Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford. However, more details about the game will only be fully revealed sometime in summer 2022.

He said:

“I know many of you love the Borderlands universe, the stories told within it, we love it, too. We also know that many of you loved Tales from the Borderlands, right? Well as you know, some of the characters from Tales From The Borderlands made their way into Borderlands 3, so we really love that format as a way to create characters, create new stories, and explore all that differently than what’s possible with looter-shooter games.

Because of the success and our love for Tales, and because of our interest in developing the Borderlands universe in new ways, we thought it would be fun and exciting to dive into the format of interactive fiction once again. This time, we’re doing it to imagine all new characters and all-new stories from the Borderlands. So soon we’ll be announcing an all-new game set within the Borderlands universe and presented in that style of interactive fiction.

I’m talking about an all-new Tales From The Borderlands adventure. It’s going to be releasing this year [in 2022], it’s published by 2K Games, and it has been developed in-house by Gearbox Software. And it has all-new characters set in the Borderlands universe. We’ve been working on this experience secretly for many years.

And I can’t wait until it’s time to announce this all-new game this summer and show all of you what we’ve been doing. So please be on the lookout this summer for the announcement of an all-new Tales from the Borderlands.”

The first Tales From The Borderlands was originally released in 2014 by Telltale Games. It featured a story set between the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3, following Rhys and Fiona as they searched for a vault.

We literally just received a new Borderlands spinoff game, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, last month, and we’re also getting that Borderlands live-action film adaptation sometime later this year as well.

New adventure, new characters, new tales.
