Telltale Games’ first episode in their new Tales from the Borderlands series is now out for PC, and available through Steam. This is an adventure game spin-off to Gearbox Software’s shooter RPG.
It follows characters that aren’t in the main games but are connected to the wider universe and major figures, like Handsome Jack. Just like other recent Telltale adventures - choices matter.
The first episode is titled ‘Zer0 Sum’ and the new series follows protagonists Rhys and Fiona, voiced by Troy Baker and Laura Bailey respectively. There will be a total of five episodes making up the Tales from the Borderlands season. The adventure game has an identical art style to Borderlands.
”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.”
