VGX 2013: Tales from the Borderlands announced, a Telltale crossover project with Gearbox Software

tales-of-the-borderlands-pc-1386459500-001 Looks like Telltale is going all out next year. Another episodic title was announced by them but this time it's a crossover project with Gearbox Software. Tales from Borderlands will take place in the crazy world of Pandora and is played like any other Telltale game. Check out the trailer below.

Another interesting mix for this story-driven developer. All development is being done at Telltale games with only Gearbox Software simply providing the assets and materials.  There will be new characters introduced as well but like what Marcus said in the trailer- They are not Vault Hunters. Interesting stuff. We'll get to explore Pandora in a different light in 2014.

This isn't the only announcement from Telltale Games. They also announced that they are currently working on a Game of Thrones title that's also going to be an episodic series just like their previous games. The Walking Dead Season 2 starting this December, The Wolf Among Us currently on-going, Tales from the Borderlands, and a Game of Thrones title all at once? Telltale Games is a busy bunch for sure.

 

VGX 2013: Game of Thrones title announced, being developed at Telltale Games

game of thrones telltale Apparently the rumors are true, Telltale Games is also working on a Game of Thrones title. It premiered at this year's VGX and nothing really came out of it, it was simply an announcement that it's happening. Have a look at the reveal below.

This is crazy. The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead Season 2, now Game of Thrones being played the Telltale way? I'm all for it, but that's a lot of games being worked on simultaneously. Regardless, it's pretty exciting since I think Telltale Games is the only developers that can pull off a really good Game of Thrones video game.

VGX 2013: Broken Age shown during VGX

Double-Fine-Bundle-Broken-Age Double Fine's upcoming game called Broken Age was featured during this year's VGX, talking about what to expect from it as well as revealing Elijah Wood, Wil Wheaton, and Jack Black to voice the characters in the game. Oh, and a friendly warning - Joel Mchale is quite annoying as a host. 

Broken Age will be released in two parts, with the first part planned for a January 2014 release.

Video Game Awards this year is now VGX

VGX-Three-Hours-Long What's VGX? Well this is the evolution of Spike TV's Video Game Awards, and it will be three-hours long. Sounds a bit too much, but if it's filled with new title announcements, then I'm all for it. 

VGX will have the usual world-premiere game trailers, one on one interviews, and game demos for next gen games. It will be live-streamed in most devices, such as Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Twitch, iOS, Android, VGXLive.com, Hulu, Yahoo Screen, the Yahoo Screen app, and Viacom properties Spike.com, ComedyCentral.com, MTV.com, MTV2.com, BET.com, and last but not least GameTrailers.com

Will we see a next-gen title reveal that would push us to the next gen corner? Tune in on December 7 at 6 p.m. Eastern / 3 p.m. Pacific and run through 9 p.m. Eastern / 6 p.m. Pacific.
