Open the box: Telltale’s Tales from the Borderlands gets a trailer

Tales From the Borderlands is yet another episodic adventure game from those busy bees over at Telltale Games. Along with Game of Thrones, that makes two major franchises being launched by Telltale in the next month or so. May God have mercy on our wallets.

Tales from the Borderlands puts you in the shoes of Rhys, a Hyperion company man, as well as Fiona, a con artist trying for her biggest swindle yet. I’ve never set foot in the Borderlands universe or the planet of Pandora due to a strong aversion to first-person shooters but, after watching the trailer, I can’t wait to get my hands dirty. They’ve pulled out all the stops for voice talent here, with a who’s who of video game voice talent: Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, and Nolan North as well as Nerdist, Chris Hardwick and Puddy. Yes, Patrick Warburton voices a character in the game. Probably should have led with that.

The game takes place after the events of Borderlands 2 and will consist of five episodes, the first coming before the end of 2014. Trailer after the break.
