In case you didn't know, PAX East is happening right now over in the United States, so we're a little detached over on the other side of the pond. Any announcements that might occur feel a little out of nowhere until we remember what's going down. Case in point: news of a brand new Tales from the Borderlands has just been unveiled.
Announced by 2K Games and Gearbox, there's very little information available right now — we just know this thing exists. Whether this new title will be a direct sequel to the Telltale original or a separate adventure entirely is yet to be seen. As the above tweet says, it's an "all new" Tales from the Borderlands, which leads us to believe it's unlikely to be directly related to the previous title.
It's due out sometime this year, and that's basically everything to know right now. There's no word on platforms, story details, or characters — our only hint is the single image. Randy Pitchford, speaking at PAX, said the game will be shown off in more detail in the summer. It's exciting we'll be delving back into the more narrative-focused side of the looter shooter universe.

Great to see this, the original is my personal favorite of Telltale's work (still rock to the soundtrack too), lets hope this can live up to it.
Awesome, one of their best games.
So no telltale involvement at all this time?
Yay no janky performance and better visuals
I'm not a fan of Borderlands' story and lore but I really enjoyed Tales from the Borderlands, so it speaks to how well realised that game was.
Looking forward to this.
I don't like the borderland games, but man I really enjoyed tales from the borderlands
My goodness. I never thought id see this series again. Fantastic news - the first game is phenomenal
Was excited at first glance but after reading the article, I think I’m good. A Tales game from Gearbox is not something I, nor anyone I imagine, wants.
Oh wow, day one for me! Original was so good!
If we are just talking fun factor it's probably my favorite TT game. It made me smile or laugh more than I was expecting. I hope they do it justice.
Excellent news!!
Looking forward to the sequel since the original TFTB was a pretty fun story.
@Splat Same. Had it via Plus for years, finally played it recently and have to say that not many games have made me genuinely laugh out loud the way this one did.
So tired of hearing about Borderlands. Gearbox is really starting to look like a one trick pony (Yes, I know this series is done by Telltale). After the boring glitch fest that was the first one I never thought this series would still be around.
Loved Tales from the Borderlands.
Wish Telltale would make another Jurassic Park/World game.
Oh wow, a surprise for once and not something that was leaked beforehand.
Really enjoyed the first game and was a true comedy video game, something that is quite tricky to get right.
Brilliant, stuff. The first one is soooo funny!
@Ken_Kaniff They are a one trick pony. Everything they made other than Borderlands in last 10+ years have been straight trash. Anyone up for some Aliens: Colonial Marines? Honestly, I don't know how they're still around...
THIS YEAR!?!?!? Bro bro bro! By far my favorite of the Telltale Games bro. Now to celebrate with the bros and bro bro it up bro....
So many games these days are announced in the lamest ways. The splinter cell remake, max payne remake, probably some more in forgetting, and now this. It feels like game announcements are now “hey we’re making this please come work for us.”
The one team who can make Borderland have an interesting story.
Can't get excited until it's confirmed that the original writers are involved.
Oooooooooooh I'm in. First season was excellent
I still need to play the first one but definitely interested!
Assuming this will be an FPS inline with the actual main Borderlands games.
Awesome, first one was great so lets hope it lives up to the original. As others have said probably the best written TT game.
@Jayslow Broooo
I've played more telltale games than I care to mention, but I'm glad they are making more. Need resolution to game of thrones though. House Forrester must be avenged.
@CrispyMango92 If they copy the style of the first game then it could be good, but surely they can't just rip off Telltale? this is a really weird situation. Have they consulted with Telltale?
