Tales from the Borderlands is back, but the original characters are not

TALES from the Borderlands is arguably the best Borderlands game, thanks to its sharp writing and lovable characters that you actually care about. 

The original was developed by Telltale Games, and it somehow took the cringy tone of Borderlands and made it actually funny. 

Tellatale Games is gone, but Borderlands developer Gearbox is readying up a successor to Tales from the Borderlands.

New Tales From The Borderlands is coming in October with fresh characters and story.

However, Telltale Games is no more, but that isn’t going to stop Gearbox, the developer behind the mainline Borderlands series, from having a go at creating a successor. 

But there is a silver lining. Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford says he managed to grab some of the talent from Telltale to work on the writing, so there’s hope for it yet. 

Unfortunately, the characters you know and love won’t be coming back. Goodbye, Rhys, you deserved better. 

New Tales from the Borderlands features an entirely fresh cast of characters in a whole new story in the Borderlands universe. 

Hopefully, it can shake off some of the worst impulses Gearbox has when it comes to writing humour. 

It’s coming out on October 21 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. The game comes packaged with the original Tales from the Borderlands as a free bonus.
