We are excited beyond belief to be welcomed back to Pandora with the very first look at Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Games Series in motion. Announced less than a year ago, and shown behind closed doors at E3 and PAX Prime, today is the FIRST time we get to see the game! The season will feature Troy Baker as Rhys, Laura Bailey as Fiona, Chris Hardwick as Vaughn, Erin Yvette as Sasha,Patrick Warburton as Vasquez, and Dameon Clarke as Handsome Jack. Additional casting details from the season are yet to be announced.
Synopsis of Tales from the 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.
With the addition of two new characters to the series, it brings up the question: where the story will go?
Who is Rhys and why are his biggest dreams to be the next Handsome Jack? Will we see resurfaces of old favorite characters? The story is obviously set after Handsome Jacks demise, but how far into the future will the story go? The Bonnie and Clyde pair seem to be up to no good as Fiona aspires to be the biggest con artist ever to step on Panodora, but seriously who are these guys? What’s also interesting to point out is if this story will be a separate story to the game, or something more adding to the recently released Borderlands The Pre-Sequel. I wonder if we will see older versions of Nisha, Wilhelm, and Athena?
Telltale Games is notorious as inquisitively adding pockets of golden plot twists to games and series already popular. This will defiantly be no different, so get pumped and hyped for this next installment!
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!
