Gearbox Entertainment is keeping the fans of theBorderlandsfranchise excited in 2022. With the recent release ofTiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Gearbox has now announced a follow-up to a fan-favorite spin-off -Tales from the Borderlands.Tales from the Borderlandswas released back in 2014 by Telltale Games. It featured a choice-based narrative, which was uncommon for fight-loving and loot-hungryBorderlandsgamers.
Telltale Games is known for its story-driven decision-making games, providing players with a rich narrative and gaming experience. Theannouncement ofThe Wolf Among Us 2reminded the gaming industry of Telltale Games’ outstanding reputation, as the announcement was followed by a community-wide excitement. This announcement is expected to excite a wider gaming audience.

Borderlands, 2K Games, & Gearbox Entertainment have all posted the announcement simultaneously on their Instagram pages. Not revealing too much until summer, they have all simply stated “more stories to explore in theBorderlandsuniverse”, announcing a newTales from the Borderlandsgame coming later this year. However, it is questionable if the announcement is a surprise, since the excitedBorderlandsgamers were anticipatingnewTales from the Borderlandsreleasing beforeBorderlands 4.
It is a surprise, however, that Telltale Games have not yet joined a collective announcement of the new game, since it is known to be the first to announce its games. Perhaps, it is only a matter of time. Meanwhile, the fans of the franchise can expect many questions answered, and new questions asked withTales from the Borderlands2. As the first game ended on a significant cliffhanger, players are to this day eager to know what happened to some major characters at theTales from the Borderlands’ending. Especially considering that some of those characters shamelessly appeared inBorderlands 3, as if nothing happened. And someBorderlandsplayers already anticipate seeing certainmain characters from theTales from the BorderlandsinBorderlands4.
As the game was choice-based, the narrative went in various directions.Tales from the Borderlands2 could clarify which decisions were canon, and which were not. In addition to that,Tales from the Borderlands2, alongsideTiny Tina’s Wonderlands, undoubtedly build a supportive narrative for the following main installment of the series -Borderlands4. There already aremany featuresBorderlands4 could take fromTiny Tina’s Wonderlands.
Borderlandsfranchise is loved in part for its fantastic combination of absurdity and insanity. This story-rich franchise is endless, exactly how the fans want it. Each game answers a variety of questions, yet leaves more to be answered. It is daring to expect anything specific from theTales from the Borderlands2, since theBorderlandsseries is known to be unpredictable and unexpected. As Gearbox announced, further details are to be revealed in summer 2022.
