‘New Tales From the Borderlands’ October Release Date Leaked
After teasing fans earlier this year, it would appear that 2K and Gearbox Software are readying an October release for New Tales From the Borderlands. Thanks to a leaked listing of the Deluxe Edition by Amazon (which has now been removed), we now know that New Tales from the Borderlands will launch on October 21 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Per PushSquare, in addition to the release date, pre-order information was also revealed. Pre-orders for the Deluxe Edition include the “Adventure Capital Pack,” which includes cosmetics for Anu, Octavio, and Fran, as well as 10,000 in-game currency, and an in-game FL4K Vaultlander collectible.
The story for New Tales centres on the perpetually war-torn metropolis of Promethea. Players will control altruistic scientist Anu, her ambitious “streetwise” brother Octavio, and the fierce, frogurt-slinging Fran as they endeavor to change (and eventually save) the world from a planetary invasion, a vicious vault monster, and a cold-hearted capitalist in what’s described as a five-part “cinematic thrill ride”.
This time around, the decisions you make determine how the story for New Tales From the Borderlands ends. Whether it’s Anu’s vision of a universe that markets more than weapons, Octavio’s dreams of fame and fortune, or Fran’s frosty plot for revenge, their success or failure depends on you.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
