The game occurs after the events of Borderlands 2. Long-standing fables of a Vault containing vast treasures on Pandora have drawn numerous "Vault Hunters" to the planet, as well as the Hyperion corporation who maintain military-like control of the planet from an orbiting base named Helios. Tales takes place in the Borderlands universe, primarily on the planet Pandora. Choices made by the player, which are often timed, influence story elements in future episodes, such as the player character's relationship with other characters. In the game, players initiate conversation trees with non-player characters. Gameplay mainly revolves around reacting to on-screen prompts and engaging in quick time events. Like the mainline Borderlands series, the game features a loot system in which players can collect cash scattered throughout the game's locations, which can be used to purchase items during certain points of the game. The game also features several simple puzzles which involves players interacting with different items of interests. Rhys has a cybernetic eye installed which enables him to scan items in the environments, while Fiona is equipped with a single-shot pistol that can be enhanced with elemental damages. The player is able to move the game's two playable characters, Rhys and Fiona, around the world's environment, interacting with different objects. The graphic of the game is similar to other Telltale's games. Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic point-and-click graphic adventure comedy.
2K Games was able to acquire the property and republished the series starting in February 2021, as well as plan a second season for planned release in mid-2022. Tales, like many of the other Telltale games, were pulled from sale following the studio's sudden closure in 2018. Particular praise was attributed to its strong characterization, emotional depth, creative setpieces, humorous writing and unexpected pathos. Although the series received some criticism due to the aging game engine and repetition of gameplay from past Telltale Games, Tales from the Borderlands largely received critical acclaim. The game follows the episodic format that Telltale used for its titles The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, where player choices and actions have somewhat significant effects on later story elements.
Set some time after the events of Borderlands 2, the game's story centers around Hyperion employee Rhys and Pandoran con-artist Fiona as they team up on an adventure to find and open a Vault.
The game was developed by Telltale Games under license from Gearbox Software, the developer of the Borderlands series, and 2K Games, its publisher.
