Gearbox has not confirmed which digital storefronts Tales would return to, but the game released earlier on Steam. Borderlands 3 also landed on both Steam and the Epic Games Store. Gearbox has also not provided pricing information.
Tales From the Borderlands was one of the many victims of the now infamous Telltale Games formwork in 2018. After massive layoffs, many of the studio’s games were pulled from digital stores or, if they were in development (such as The Wolf Among Us 2 ), canceled. Tales From the Borderlands even managed to escape the first round of Steam removals, but both Valve and Good Old Games inexplicably removed Tales from their platform in mid-2019.
Tales From the Borderlands was originally released on November 25, 2014 and received high praise for its comedic storytelling and classic Telltale strengths. Set after Borderlands 2, Tales follows the adventures of two Hyperion employees and a con man on the hunt for a mythical vault, leading to countless hilarious distractions. It features voice acting from the likes of Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, Chris Hardwick, Ashley Johnson and Patrick Warburton.
A number of Telltale’s pre-Walking Dead catalog is still not available on Steam, including Back to the Future and Game of Thrones.
