News: If you have been wanting to play Telltale’s journey into the Borderlands universe but missed your first chance, your second chance has arrived.

2K Games has just revealed that Tales From The Borderlands is now available on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. This is notable because there was a while when Tales From The Borderlands was taken off of the stores due to the problems with Telltale. This re-release consolidates every episode into one package and is playable on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility.

Originally released as a series of five episodes between November 2014 and October 2015, Tales from the Borderlands is a choice-driven narrative adventure game that takes place between the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3. This is a story from the perspectives of two protagonists, thrown together in an unlikely partnership as they try to recover a mountain of money that each believes is theirs.

Fiona is a full-time con-artist who has been scheming to make a fortune selling a fake Vault Key. Rhys—who you might know from Borderlands 3 as the Atlas Corporation CEO—is an ambitious Hyperion employee who idolizes the recently deceased Handsome Jack and is in the market for a Vault Key.

The deal they strike goes bad in ways that could only happen in the Borderlands, wreaking all kinds of mayhem. How the rest of the story plays out is up to you, as you make choices during explosive action scenes and conversations with familiar characters like Moxxi, Zer0, Marcus, and Claptrap.

Tales from the Borderlands is a crucial chapter in Borderlands canon, so if you haven’t yet experienced its chaotic, emotional journey, now’s the perfect time. This re-release includes all five of the original episodes in one package:

Episode 1 – Zer0 Sum

Episode 2 – Atlas Mugged

Episode 3 – Catch a Ride

Episode 4 – Escape Plan Bravo

Episode 5 – The Vault of the Traveler

Though episodes won't be available for purchase individually, you also won’t need to wait for each subsequent episode to release, and if you have an existing save file, you can pick up where you left off on the same platform. Note that cross-generation save transfers within the same console family are supported for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 consoles.
