Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic graphic adventure video game based on the Borderlands series, released in 2014 for Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PlayStation Vita, with planned ports to mobile platforms.[1] The game was developed by Telltale Games in partnership with Gearbox Software and 2K Games, the developer and publisher of the Borderlands series respectively. The game follows the episodic format that Telltale used for its titles The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, where player choices and actions have significant effects on later story elements. In addition, the game includes some of the gunplay the Borderlands series is known for.
Tales from the Borderlands is a point-and-click adventure game similar to Telltale's other games, released as a number of episodes. The player is able to move their player-character around the world's environment, interacting with objects and initiating conversation trees with non-player characters. Choices made by the player have an impact on story elements in future episodes. The game also includes some degree of the shooter elements, featured in the Borderlands series, particularly the procedurally-generated guns and loot generation.[2] Some loot from the game is usable in other Borderlands games.[3]
The game's story takes place after the end of Borderlands 2 and its downloadable content expansions. The player controls two protagonists, the con artist Fiona and the Hyperion employee Rhys, who meet up in the latter part of the game. The story explores how the characters came together, showing common events from the perspective of both characters in a manner called the "Big Fish version of what happened" by Telltale's Kevin Bruner.[2][3]
Development[edit]
The concept of Tales bore out from the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards, according to Telltale's Steve Allison. Telltale and Gearbox had already worked together previously to bring Borderlands ' Claptrap robot to Telltale's Poker Night 2.[4] Representatives from both Telltale and Gearbox were present at the ceremony at adjoining tables, and over the course of the event, the idea of combining their respective talents on a project came out. Following the ceremony, Telltale and Gearbox began to explore the possibilities, realizing that the Borderlands universe had a large number of characters with interesting stories that Telltale could build upon, as well as continuing to explore fan-favorite characters that the series had developed.[5] Gearbox noted that with the three prior Borderlands games, they had created an interesting universe but as a first-person shooter, the player's interaction with characters in that world was limited, and saw the potential in having Telltale expand upon their universe in a meaningful manner.[6]
Voice actors from the previous Borderlands games will return to voice characters in this game, including Dameon Clarke as Handsome Jack. Troy Baker and Laura Bailey voice the two main protagonists, Rhys and Fiona.[7] In addition, voice actors including Nolan North, Patrick Warburton, Chris Hardwick, and Erin Yvette will voice characters in the game.[8]
Episodes
The game will be separated into five episodes, released in intervals.
