Take a trip back to the world of Borderlands with New Tales from the Borderlands, an episodic game series spun off from the original Tales from the Borderlands from Telltale Games. This is a brand new adventure with new characters, a new story and new mechanics just waiting for you to jump in. It's a choose-your-own-adventure narrative that has a little something for everyone.
Most of your time will be spent watching stories unfold and participating in them with quick-time events, making conversational choices and occasionally controlling a character as part of an exploration segment. That's the nature of most Telltale Games stories, and this one doesn't really deviate from the path, as far as we can tell.
But there are quite a few games out right now, and even more on the way. If you're thinking about setting off on a new adventure in the Borderlands universe, you may be wary of how much of a time investment it might be from beginning to end. How long is New Tales from the Borderlands? How long to beat the game? We've got you covered. Read on for the answer.
How Long Is New Tales from the Borderlands?
According to reviewers, New Tales from the Borderlands takes anywhere from 10 to 12 hours to complete from beginning to end. This appears to be the general consensus from critics outside of Newsweek who have completed early reviews. So if you want to find out how long it takes to beat New Tales from the Borderlands, we can look at the average completion time here and assume that it's about 2 hours per five episodes.
When it comes to narrative-based experiences, this is quite the long investment, though it's nowhere near as long as playing through an RPG like Final Fantasy or an action game like Gotham Knights. This is the kind of game that's best suited as a weekend play and experienced all at once.
Newsweek is currently in the process of reviewing New Tales from the Borderlands, and will update this guide accordingly to corroborate a beginning to completion time once the game is finished. In the meantime, if you plan on playing, you can expect a 10 to 12 hour lifespan that you can split up across play days for a meaty little adventure that you can experience in bite-sized chunks, a few hours per episode.
New Tales from the Borderlands is available now on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
