As a result, the writing team had to modify the game’s script to focus on the three core characters, resulting in a more “intimate” story. While the game initially had a larger cast of characters, many actors were unable to complete motion capture work for the game.

The studio also hired Lin Joyce, a doctor in interactive fiction, to serve as the game’s lead writer. As the Gearbox team did not have experience developing a game featuring a branching narrative, they hired several key members of the original game’s development team to help them understand how to write an interactive story which can respond to the choices and decisions made by players. The team spent at least two and a half years developing the game. The original Tales from the Borderlands was developed by Telltale Games, which was shut down in 2018. Gearbox Studio Quebec, which was opened in 2015, served as the game’s lead developer.

The trio must also work together as they seek a vault key which may grant them access to a vault stashed with treasures that may change their lives forever. The player must guide the three protagonists, each with their own hopes and dreams, as they fight against Tediore agents, as well as monsters and criminals that roam the planet. Set about a year after Borderlands 3, weapon manufacturer Tediore has begun invading the planet Promethea. New Tales from the Borderlands introduces a cast of new characters, including three playable protagonists: Anu, an altruistic scientist, Octavio, Anu’s brother who is seeking for fame and fortune, and Fran, the owner of a frozen yogurt store who uses a hoverchair for mobility. Anu has a high-tech glasses which allow her to scan objects Octavio can browse other people’s social media pages and hack into their devices Fran can freeze enemies using her hoverchair.

Each character has their own unique gadgets. Similar to Tales from the Borderlands, it is a graphic adventure game in which the player must move the game’s protagonist around the world’s environment, explore their surroundings, complete quick-time events, and make narrative choices that may change the outcome of the story.
