More On: Tales from the Borderlands

Telltale Games has carved out quite the niche for themselves with their episodically-delivered character-driven adventure titles mostly based on other people's franchises.

With the release date of Tales from the Borderland: Episode One, called Zer0 Sum, nearly upon us, Telltale has released a new trailer called The Gearbox Interview.  Gearbox, of course, is the developer behind the Borderlands franchise.  

Hopefully Telltale can capture the trademark humor that is one of the reason the franchise is special.

Alright, kiddos...

Today we would like to share an all-new interview with our friends at Gearbox Software about our upcoming episodic game series, Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Games Series.

The video features some exclusive new footage from the game, as well as interviews with Borderlands Creator and Franchise Director, Matthew Armstrong, Borderlands 2 writer Anthony Burch, producer James Lopez, and Gearbox Software CEO & President, Randy Pitchford.

Hear from the team behind the franchise as they discuss working with Telltale on the upcoming series, which will be premiering for download VERY soon!

Tales from the Borderlands - The Gearbox Interview

The season will feature Troy Baker as Rhys, Laura Bailey as Fiona, Chris Hardwick as Vaughn, Erin Yvette as Sasha, Patrick Warburton as Vasquez, Nolan North as August and Dameon Clarke as Handsome Jack. Additional casting details from the season are yet to be announced.

Set on the unforgiving world of Pandora after the events seen in Borderlands 2, Tales from the Borderlands is a five part episodic game series full of Borderlands' trademark humor, following two adventurers on their quest for greatness.

You'll play as Rhys, a Hyperion 'suit' with dreams of being the next Handsome Jack, and Fiona, a Pandoran con artist looking to score her biggest ever swindle. Thrown together as unwilling partners in an adventure to recover cash they both think is theirs, their journey will take you on a wild ride where gangsters, bandit lords, and Vault Hunters are just some of the obstacles you'll encounter, in this new take on the award-winning universe created by Gearbox Software.

The season premiere episode of Tales from the Borderlands, titled 'Zer0 Sum,' will soon be available for digital download worldwide across multiple platforms. Stay tuned to Telltale Games on Twitter and Facebook for the latest details on release dates.

Each episode will be available via PlayStation Network for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 for US$4.99 or equivalent. Alternatively, consumers can purchase a Season Pass for US$19.99 or equivalent, which entitles players to all five episodes in the season as they become available.

The season will also be available on Xbox Games Store for Xbox One and Xbox 360 for just US$4.99 or equivalent per episode. Players will also be able to purchase a Season Pass upgrade for US$14.99, which entitles players to Episodes 2-5 as they release.

The series will also be available for PC/Mac via the Telltale Online Store, Steam, and other online digital distribution outlets as a Season Pass for US$24.99 or equivalent that includes entitlement to all five episodes as they release.

The series will also be coming to compatible iOS devices via the App Store and to Android-based devices before the end of 2014.
