This is where Vasquez finally manages to step into the limelight after years of working through the corporate ladder to turn Hyperion into his immoral money-making machine. His mega-corporation, Hyperion, is suddenly without a leader and many businessmen are jumping onto its carcass ready to take over. Even so, they managed to put together a charming story revolving around a group of misfit characters dealing with the fallout of the events of Borderlands 2.Īs fans would know, Handsome Jack met his end at the end of Borderlands 2. Pushing through and drawing from a thinning book of plot threads (as Borderlands 3 closed some of them) must have proven challenging for the studio. Telltale Games is a studio renowned for its narrative-driven and character-focused stories.
Surprisingly, it seems that it does – but not exactly in the way fans of the franchise would think. With an all new remaster in tow, it is time to determine if Borderlands has enough substance for an entire six-episode saga about multiple protagonists vying for a massive vault of treasures. This saved many Telltale titles, chief among those being Tales From the Borderlands, which had just enjoyed a multi-platform re-release in the form of a bundled collection containing all episodes. Thankfully, a company called LCG Entertainment stepped up and acquired all Telltale assets, with the promise of even more games coming in the future. Sadly, this included Tales From The Borderlands. Since then, the franchise has had the strangest order of releases and spin-offs, with the most prominent being Tales From the Borderlands – a Telltale look at the world and characters of the franchise.ĭue to financial difficulties, Telltale closed up shop and removed many of their licensed titles from retail platforms. Initially, however, it started life as a tongue-in-cheek amalgamation of both the role-playing game (RPG) and the first-person shooter (FPS) genres quickly becoming an overnight sensation. After all, the game is a first-person looter shooter with a silly premise and a cartoony design. Ask five people what Borderlands is all about, and “it is wacky”, and “ meant to be silly” will resound through whatever room you are in.
