“[New Tales from the Borderlands] takes place on Promethea, which Borderlands 3 fans will recognize,” Gearbox Software director of manufacturing James Lopez advised GameSpot. “It takes place about a year after the Maliwan and Children of the Vault invasion and their subsequent war with Atlas–a reconstruction phase.”

The official synopsis of New Tales from the Borderlands is as follows: “Within the perpetually war-torn metropolis of Promethea, you’ll control Anu, Octavio, and Fran on the worst day of their lives. Help these three lovable losers as they endeavor to change the world (and maybe even save it)! Face down a planetary invasion, vicious vault monster, and cold-hearted capitalist in this cinematic thrill ride where what happens next is up to you! Meet a motley cast full of misfits, assassin bots, and talking guns in this race to the top! It’s time to fight back against exploitation and corporate greed. It’s time to make Mayhem your business.”

Dr. Anuradha Dhar (Anu) is an enthusiastic but-tense genius who abhors violence and killing. Despite being susceptible to panic assaults when issues get hectic, Anu at all times trusts within the energy of science to in some way make all of it higher.

Octavio Wallace-Dhar leaves the booksmarts to his older sister, Anu. Everything he must know was picked up on the Promethean streets. Always one to depart a long-lasting impression, Octavio is his personal hype man, full with a state-of-the-art ECHOdex filled with black-market apps and hack-ready performance. Octavio could not at all times make the perfect selections—and even kinda-passable ones—however his coronary heart is normally in the best place.

Fran Miscowicz is mad. You’d be mad too if some Maliwan jackhole shot a laser by your small enterprise. So yeah, Fran’s acquired a bone to select and a few anger points to type out… however that doesn’t imply she isn’t with out sweetness, appeal, or an actual lust for all times. Fran incorporates multitudes—as does her trusty hoverchair, which is chock filled with helpful devices for each work and survival conditions. On Promethea, the 2 typically go hand-in-hand!

“Even though we’re using a familiar background for [New Tales from the Borderlands], it’s a contained story, meaning that whether it’s returning fans or hopefully new fans, it should be pretty easy for people to be onboarded to digest this entirely new cast, new story,” Lopez stated. “Most of the characters are going to be new. We do have a few callbacks, a couple of cameos that kind of come up from previous games, including characters from the previous Tales, but, by and large, entirely new cast this time around.”
