TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS

Publisher/developer Telltale Games Format 360, PC, PS3 (others TBC) Origin US Release TBC

Telltale reckons the Borderlands universe “rivals Star Wars for richness”, which we’re assuming is intended as a compliment rather than confirmation that the cast will spend the first episode of Tales Of The Borderlands quibbling over the taxation of intergalactic trade routes. Expect standard Telltale fare with the odd twist – there are two playable characters, for instance – and gentle crossplatform integration, with collected loot unlocked in other Borderlands games.
