The season premier episode is available today on PC from the Telltale Online Store, Steam, and other digital vendors. Tales from the Borderlands Episode 1: Zero Sum sets following the events of Borderlands 2, in which players will control two different characters throughout the season. First up is Rhys, A Hyperion company middle-man manager  wants to become the next Handsome Jack, and it’s also about Fiona, a Pandoran con artist seeking to score the biggest of all riches. Together, they will go forth in their journey and will take players on wild rides filled with gangsters, bandit lords, and Vault Hunters.

“Tales from the Borderlands is an amazing opportunity for Telltale Games to expand upon the world Gearbox has created,” said Kevin Bruner, president and co-founder of Telltale Games. “Players can now experience the humor and richness of the Borderlands universe from a whole new perspective, with the story-driven gameplay Telltale is known for.”

“Telltale has proven themselves to be in a class of their own as master story tellers in interactive entertainment – and they keep getting better and better,”said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. “The collaboration on Tales from the Borderlands has been a tremendous joy and seeing what I believe is the best first episode they’ve ever created from their effort and talent is very exciting for me as a fan and as a partner.”

What has really driven Borderlands to become a successful franchise isn’t just the awesome FPS gameplay we’ve experienced thus far, but the dialogue and character rich stories behind the guns. Telltale Games wants to dial in on some of the rich story the Borderlands has to offer, and hopefully, some more of Claptrap quirkiness.
