While Mortal Kombat 1 and the announcement of the Kombat Pack 1 roster has been the main gaming news related of the San Diego Comic Con (ion midst of the dual SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strike that made all theaters, TV and movies related announcement going without much hype), we got some related news in both topics.
Genvid Entertainment and Gearbox Entertainment have announced “interactive streaming series” Borderlands EchoVision Live this past weekend at San Diego Comic Con.
It will follow the “(mis)adventures of eight unsuspecting tourists who find themselves in peril, marooned on Eden-6 after setting off on an ‘Adventure Safari’ to follow in the footsteps of Vault Hunters and bask in their glory”.
How will the story unfold?
Well, it's up to you as Borderlands EchoVision Live will run on a platform developed by a company called Genvid Entertainment, which develops what it calls massively interactive live events, or MILEs. In these interactive narrative series, the entire viewership takes collective decisions to determine how the story will unfold, and experiences a “collective shared outcome,” in the words of the press release.
No release date has been shared.
This comes after the official Borderlands movie landed an August 2024 release date in theaters.
