The latest data feed from Pandora is in, and we’re delighted to reveal that it contains a mouthwatering new trailer for Telltale Games’ eagerly anticipated, story-driven, episodic adventure game Tales from the Borderlands, not to mention the first nuggets of detail.

The data we received confirms that Tales from the Borderlands, which is due for release this summer, will be set after the events of Borderlands 2 and will feature two playable characters whose stories will unfold alternately. The first of these characters is Fiona – a quick-witted, fast-talking (but probably loveable) rogue who’s out to make the biggest score of her life. The second is Rhys, a selfish and scheming Hyperion data-miner with big ambitions. It has also been confirmed that whilst neither of these characters is actually a Vault Hunter, they will both interact with famous characters from the Borderlands series including ZerO and more. (Here’s hoping for a fairly heavyweight cameo from Tiny Tina!)

In addition to this already rather exciting selection of Tales from media, XBLA Fans can also report that Telltale Games Producer Adam Sarasohn has recently confirmed a number of interesting details about the game over at the PlayStation Blog. In addition to hinting at the various possibilities that the vast Borderlands world might hold in store for players, the key details can be found after the jump.

  • Loot collected in Tales from will be available to use in other Borderlands games – this is perhaps the most interesting morsel released and should provide a huge incentive for dedicated fans of the core Borderlands titles to jump on board with the Telltale series
  • As with other Telltale Games series, Tales from will be an episodic adventure game with a season pass available to reduce the overall cost
  • The episodes will take place following the events of Borderlands 2 – with the hint that Handsome Jack may return
  • The two playable characters (Rhys and Fiona) have very different agendas and contrasting views on the events that will unfold throughout the game
