Tales from the Borderlands - First Official Trailer

Welcome back to Pandora (again) in the first official trailer for Tales from the Borderlands, a new episodic series from Telltale Games.

The new adventure game certainly has the look and humor from the popular series. Borderlands fans should enjoy it even if it isn't a first person shooter. Here is some more info courtesy of Telltale Games....

"Tales from the Borderlands is a five part episodic game from the creator of The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series. Set on the unforgiving world of Pandora after the events seen in Borderlands 2, this is a story full of Borderlands' trademark humor, following two adventurers on their quest for greatness.

You'll play as Rhys, a Hyperion 'suit' with dreams of being the next Handsome Jack, and Fiona, a Pandoran con artist looking to score her biggest ever swindle. Thrown together as unwilling partners in an adventure to recover cash they both think is theirs, their journey will take you on a wild ride where gangsters, bandit lords, and Vault Hunters are just some of the obstacles you'll encounter, in this new take on the award-winning universe created by Gearbox Software."

The first episode of Tales from the Borderlands, called "Zer0 Sum," will be released "soon," and will be available for the PC, Mac, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, and Xbox One. The first episode can be purchased for $5 on consoles, but a discounted season pass will be available at or shortly after launch. PC and Mac users can only buy a season pass, which will be $25. Android and iOS versions are also expected before the end of the year.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - Gamescom Last Hope Trailer

Claptrap shows off his skills at Gamescom in the "Last Hope" trailer for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!

The catchy song from the trailer is "Come with Me Now" by the Kongos.

If you looked carefully, you will have noticed Claptrap showing off several different action skills including one where he transforms into a little pirate ship, and one where he grows wings like a Siren. Perhaps his action skill is random?

If you blinked, you may have missed an appearance by Roland and Lilith. It is worth going through the trailer again and pausing a few times. So far, the game is looking like a worthy followup. It has the personality that fans have come to expect.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will be available in the US on October 14th for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - Moon Dance Trailer

2K Games has released the newest trailer for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel featuring face lasers, argyle weapons, crazy new vehicles, and moon dancing!

Good to see the series sense of humor kept intact. Fans of the previous games should feel right at home with this new iteration. Those who preorder the game will receive the DLC Shock Drop Slaughter Pit.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is scheduled to release on October 14th for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - Athena the Gladiator Gameplay Video

2K Games recently announced Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel for the PC and last-gen consoles. Taking place before Borderlands 2, the new game is developed by 2K Australia, as opposed to Gearbox, the developer for the first two games. Nonetheless, 2K promises the same great gameplay and sense of humor from previous iterations, but with some noted additions to gameplay such as freeze guns and low gravity.

There will be four characters/classes to choose from, all of which were non-playable characters from previous Borderlands games. The main characters include Athena "the Gladiator," Hyperion engineer Wilhelm "the Enforcer," Lynchwood sheriff Nisha "the Lawbringer," and the funny little robot, Claptrap "the Fragtrap."

Each character will have their own abilities which you can customize as they level up.

2K Games and IGN released a 15-minute Athena demo to show off what gamers can expect from the new gameplay mechanics. Check it out below!

The game certainly seems to be shaping up quite nicely. The gameplay is familiar, but the new mechanics are interesting and could help keep things fresh. The only potential downside could be the oxygen tank system, which looks like it could hamper adventuring. Otherwise, additions like ice and laser-based weapons look like fun.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is scheduled to release later this year for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.
