Massor av Tales from the Borderlands 2-information har läckt

I april kunde vi rapportera den goda nyheten att Tales from the Borderlands skulle få en uppföljare, den här gången utvecklad av Gearbox själva (de gör även den ordinarie Borderlands-serien) istället för Telltale Games som gjorde det ursprungliga äventyret.

Men sedan dess har det varit väldigt tyst. Men nu har vi fått ett mycket, mycket pålitligt tecken på att ett ordentligt avslöjande är på väg att ske när som helst. Som så många gånger tidigare är det en åldersklassificeringsorganisation som delat med sig av outannonserad information. Den här gången är det IMDA Singapore som åldersbedömt äventyret och tack vare detta vet vi nu att det kommer att bli ett våldsamt spel med en hel del grovt språk.

Eftersom informationen är så grundlig att den är på gränsen till en spoiler, har vi lagt in hela motiveringen av åldersklassificeringen under bilden nedan så att du kan lätt kan välja bort texten. Om du hellre vill vänta på en officiell demonstration är det för övrigt förmodligen inte långt borta heller eftersom åldersbedömningar brukar göras ganska nära den faktiska lanseringen. Vi antar att Tons of Tales from the Borderlands 2 visas under Gamescom nästa vecka.

"New Tales From The Borderlands Deluxe Edition" is a compilation of "Tales From the Borderlands" and its sequel "New Tales From The Borderlands". The compilation is rated M18 for strong violence and gore. For more information on "Tales From The Borderlands", please refer to the game record in the classification database.

"New Tales From The Borderlands" is an adventure game set on the futuristic planet of Pandora. The game revolves around Anu, a scientist who seeks to harness a crystal with healing powers with the aid of her brother, Octavio, and Fran, the owner of a frozen yoghurt shop. They fight off corporate interests who want to take control of the crystal.

The game is classified M18 for strong violence and gore.

The player controls one of the three protagonists at different points of the game and makes narrative decisions when presented with dialogue or action options. The player may encounter enemies such as humans, robots and mutants. In these encounters, the player needs to successfully press a sequence of buttons in response to on-screen prompts to pass the encounter. Failing to do so often results in death and the player needs to start from the previous checkpoint.

Throughout the course of play, there are depictions of intense violence. One example of such an encounter results in either a man stabbing a woman in the neck or on the top of her head; or the woman freezing the man and shattering him, leaving behind frozen fragments including a severed limb and head. There are also other strong depictions of violence with details of blood splatter, such as characters being shot in the chest or head, or stabbed in the eye with a pistol grip. In addition, there are depictions of gore such as a woman seen with a severed leg and a sequence where a character attempts to reattach a severed head to a corpse using a metal rod. Overall, these depictions would be more appropriate under a M18 rating where the Classification Guidelines allow "depictions of realistic violence, such as killing, maiming or causing other serious injury to humanoid characters."

The game contains some use of coarse language, such as the expletive "f**k" and other words such as "ass", "shit" and "bastard".
