Three lovable losers from Gearbox<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

In New Tales from the Borderlands, players take control of Anu, Octavio and Fran. They are led through an epic adventure filled with ruthless corporations, fearsome creatures and talking weapons. Explore new and familiar locations in the Borderlands universe and a host of fascinating characters.<\/p>\n

It turns out that in Borderlands, nothing is deadlier than starting a business. Following a series of unfortunate events, our three underdogs find themselves in the unique position of opening a Vault and using its otherworldly contents to create a universe-changing technology. They face local competitors, corporate takeovers, and galactic mysteries in their rush to market.<\/p>\n

The Good, the Cheat and the Ugly<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anuradha Dhar – In a universe run by weapons companies, Anu is a do-gooder who dreams of a world where no one has to kill to get ahead. Although uncomfortable in social settings, she has no problem-solving problems. With the help of Tech Glasses, she can see complex calculations, probabilities and solve puzzles.<\/p>\n

Octavio Wallace Dhar – Anu’s adopted brother, Octavio is a con man with a heart of gold who dreams of making it big on Promethea. According to him, he’s the most popular citizen of Meridian City, with a long list of connections to back it up. His access to information is like no other, and he’s looking for his moment to strike gold.<\/p>\n

Francine Miscowicz – Fran is the owner of a successful frog candy shop in Meridian City… or at least she was until Maliwan blew a hole in her shop with a giant laser, and Tediore finished the job. Now he wants revenge on those who destroyed his dreams. She’s strong, fierce, capable and – thanks to the many gadgets in his hover chair – deadly. She will stop at nothing to protect his friends and get what’s coming to him.<\/p>\n

While each of the three characters has their own unique quirks, talents and dreams, it is ultimately up to the player to shape their dialogue and decisions. Choice is at the heart of the game, and you have the power to determine how the story unfolds.<\/p>\n
