2K Games has revived Tales From The Borderlands, as the fan-favourite Telltale Games series returns to Xbox One today. The re-release brings all five episodes into one cohesive package, allowing players to experience the entire narrative based adventure. As a result, the episodes cannot be purchased individually as before.
"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."
For any Borderlands fan, this spin-off is the perfect reason to revisit Pandora and is one of Telltale's best works before they were sadly shut down. With The Wolf Among Us 2 in the works, maybe one day Tales From The Borderlands can continue with another entry.

I want to play this as i like the telltale games, but it's $27 for something I'll play once. I'll have to hold out for a sale, doubt it will be in gamepass
@Krzzystuff all seasons of The Walking Dead are on Game Pass, apart from the most recent one, so it's entirely possible Tales from the Borderlands will pop up on there at some point. Honestly, when it comes to Game Pass additions, there are very few games you can rule out entirely.
@VenomousAlbino yeah I've been playing the walking dead games and it's what hooked me on these. I'm just thinking that because it's a 2K IP they wouldn't put it in GP but hopefully I'm wrong. Heard great things about this being rather funny, a big departure from the walking dead vibes.
I added it a few years back when it was GWG and it updated this morning.
@Krzzystuff Borderlands Handsome Collection has been on there, along with some of the 2K Sports games, so hang in there.😀
If you're into the Telltale stuff and similar games, it's definitely worth checking out. Also, I have to bring up Tell Me Why. If you haven't played it, I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a go. It's on Game Pass, it out-Telltales Telltale in every way and was my favourite game of 2020.
Played and enjoyed most of the telltale games and this is by far the best with wolf among us being a close second.
Got the physical disc second hand because it was delisted but have added the new digital version to my wish list and will wait for a sale to grab it.
@VenomousAlbino It might be but MS would have to make a deal with the new Telltale Games.
The Walking Dead is a bit different now. I believe the rights went to Robert Kirkman's own studio when Telltale shutdown, that's how Season 5 was able to get done. If you notice, no other Telltale.games are on Gamepass.
@VenomousAlbino tell me why was one of my first games i played on PC through GPU when i was waiting for the series x. Was a great game. Sometimes you just want to chill out and these interactive movies are great for that.
@Tasuki Yeah, The Final Season of The Walking Dead went to Skybound Games, but they brought in the Telltale crew to finish it off (the last two episodes).
@Tasuki using The Walking Dead as a precedent for Tales of the Borderlands coming to Game Pass was less about them also being Telltale games and more about those types of games (The Walking Dead, Tell Me Why, Life Is Strange, etc) frequenting the services. My fault; I should've been more clear.
@FraserG Yeah, but the rights are under Skybound Games IIRC. I know a number of I.Ps that Telltale Games had were lost when they shutdown, TWD, Stranger Things and a few others. I think the only one they kept was The Wolf Among Us.
@VenomousAlbino Ah, not a problem. Yeah those type of games are perfect candidates for Gamepass but you never know.
