Don’t call it a sequel
Gearbox Software are making an “all-new” follow-up to Telltale Games’Tales From The Borderlandsepisodic graphic adventure set in the Borderlands universe. It’s out this year, Gearbox revealed at this week’sPAX Eastevent.
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford – whostepped aside as head of Gearbox Softwarelast October – dropped the existence of the project right at the end of the PAX East presentation while wearing some shockingly Borderlands-yellow chinos. You can watch for yourselves below. Skip to about five minutes from before the end if you’re just interested in the Tales From The Borderlands announcement.
“This time, we’re doing it to imagine all-new characters, and all-new stories, from the Borderlands,” Pitchford said. He explained that Gearbox has been working on the game for many years, and confirmed that more will be revealed in summer. Maybe they’ll give us an idea then whether the characters from the first game will see that cliffhanger ending reach a conclusion?
Gearbox also announced yesterday that they’veacquired Lost Boys Interactive, contributors to Gearbox Software’s Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Lost Boys will carry on working on their own projects alongside their work for Gearbox. The consolidation of the games industry continues apace.
