Two Gearbox Software developers did an interview with IGN right after New Tales From the Borderlands was revealed on stage at Gamescom 2022.
- Stella Chung – IGN Host
- Lin Joyce – Head of Writing
- James Lopez – Director of Production
Questions
- Is this a continuation of the previous game or does it stand on its own?
- Where does the game fit in the overall Borderlands timeline?
- Has the art style changed compared to the previous game?
- We saw guns with legs but what other guns will we see return?
- Will we see any established Borderlands characters return in this New Tales game?
- Did we see a fighting game within the trailer?
- Can you tell us more about the characters?
- What’s the difference between building a story for Tales compared to your typical Borderlands game?
- How many episodes does the game have?
- Are you planning for a Season 2 of New Tales From The Borderlands?
- What was your experience creating this game?
- If you could create a Frogert flavor, what would it be?
My Thoughts
Definitely an interesting interview.
Great to see James again, he was on the PR forefront during the Borderlands The Pre-Sequel days. I believe this is the first time we see Lin but heard great things about her on social media. I also have that Borderlands 3 COV hoodie that she is wearing.
Promethea is definitely in a rough spot if Tediore invades the planet 1 year after Maliwan’s hostile take over. One corporation after the other stepping in to claim something.
They mention that they don’t have any plans for DLC or Season 2 at the moment. This makes me wonder what Randy Pitchford was teasing about.
I might want a G-Fuel Hype Sauce Frogert…hahaha…
