Borderlandsis indubitably Gearbox’s flagship IP, catapulting the developer to popularity beyond previous titles and spawning tons of content. Not only hasBorderlandsgone through a full trilogy of mainline gameswith a fourth presumably on the way at some point, but it’s getting a movie and has seen spin-offs likeTales from the BorderlandsandTiny Tina’s Wonderlands.
WhileWonderlandsreleased not long ago, it seems there’s moreBorderlandscontent around the corner. It seemed unlikely thatTales from the Borderlandswould ever receive a sequel after the closure and corporate rebirth of Telltale Games, but Gearbox still has more stories it wants to tell with these characters. Earlier this year,Gearbox and 2K Games announced they were working on aTales from the Borderlandssequel, but outside a 2022 release window, not much else was confirmed.

Now, however, it seems fans could reasonably expect a full-blown reveal ofTales From the Borderlands2(or whatever it is officially called) pretty soon. “New Tales from the Borderlands” and “New Tales from the Borderlands Deluxe Edition” has been rated in Korea, as reported by Gematsu, and so it would seem the official title could beNew Tales from the Borderlandssimilar toNew Pokemon Snap.
It was rated Adult in Korea for excessive violence, profanity, drugs, alcohol, and a few other points, none of which is surprising for aBorderlandsgame. What may be more important is that ratings typically come ahead of major marketing developments, release date reveals, and more. For example,God of War Ragnarokjust got its release datea few days ago, and it was rated in late May (and the release date reveal was reportedly planned for late June until slipping into early July).
Of course, fans are still waiting for more ofGod of War Ragnarokbut had also seen more of the game than fans have seen of theTales from the Borderlandssequel. It could come sooner, it could come later, but it does seem everything is on track for the sequel.
It’ll be interesting to see how the Gearbox-developed title differs from the originalTalesgame, given the change over in companies. Still, for fans of classic Telltale games, it’s likely to retain a lot of that original charm. Meanwhile, Telltale Games is also working on its first major title since it was reborn, and it’s one many fans are excited about –The Wolf Among Us 2.
ATales from the Borderlandssequel is scheduled for 2022.
