Wonder! A new Borderlands project, Borderlands EcoVision Live, is in the works.
Developed by the same team behind the mysterious Silent Hill: Ascension — an “interactive streaming series” that will allow fans to tweak Silent Hill canon — EcoVision Live will similarly be an “interactive streaming series” where “viewers around the world will determine whether all these new characters make it from scratch to hero, how they handle the pressure, how they relate to each other, and what kind of person — and future Vault Hunter — each of them is” (thanks, pc gamer,
That’s right – fans will have a “direct and lasting impact on the story and characters of Borderlands: EchoVision Live”, “an unfolding narrative experience in which all audience members consider what story decisions are made and collectively experience a shared outcome”. Silent Hill: Ascension is also basically described in this way.
“Eight aspiring Vault Hunters shell out their hard-earned money for a safe guided tour of Eden 6 – all the excitement without the danger! What could possibly go wrong? A lot came out,” teases the description of the project.
“What was meant to be a three-week holiday turns into a permanent nightmare when tourists find themselves stranded in the backwater town of Greywater Junction. Surrounded on all sides by jackals, bandits and scantily clad sheets, these hapless amateurs must overcome their fears, failures and greed to band together, seize the opportunity and avoid the many bullets written against them.

That’s according to a tweet posted on the game’s official Twitter account, which revealed that the star-studded feature – which includes Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Arinna Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu and Jamie Lee Curtis – will be hitting theaters in a little over a year.
The film is directed by Eli Roth, perhaps best known as a horror fan and Tarantino-favorite actor, with a screenplay by Roth and The Last of Us and Chernobyl writer Craig Mazin, though the latter has recently tried to distance himself from the project, saying he “can’t claim to be any sort of writer of Borderlands”.
