Playlist - • Tales from the Borderlands Walkthrough Gam... Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic graphic adventure video game based on the Borderlands series, released in November 2014 for Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PlayStation Vita, with planned ports to mobile platforms. The game was developed by Telltale Games in partnership with Gearbox Software and 2K Games, the developer and publisher of the Borderlands series respectively. 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 significant effects on later story elements. In addition, the game includes some of the gunplay the Borderlands series is known for. NOTE: The following summary is a high-level overview of the game and may not include all variations in the story that can occur based on the player's choices. Tales is presented in medias res as a mysterious stranger has captured Rhys and Fiona, and listens to them tell their individual sides of the story of how they got to this point. Rhys, hoping to get a promotion in Hyperion, finds his former boss has been replaced by his nemesis Vasquez, who demotes him to janitor. Overhearing Vasquez making a deal for a Vault Key for ten million dollars, Rhys and his co-workers, Vaughn and Yvette, plan to make a deal to get the Vault Key first, using Hyperion funds to do so. Rhys and Vaughn arrive on Pandora, and after accustoming themselves to the violence, meet with the dealers, August and Sasha, to trade for the Vault Key. They are unaware that Fiona, Sasha, and Felix have created a fake Vault Key, and used August's reputation to assure Vasquez would be interested. Just as Rhys, Vaughn and August discover the Vault Key is a fake, the meeting is crashed by a fight between Bossanova and Zer0; Bossanova grabs the briefcase with the money and flees, and Rhys and Vaughn take shelter with Felix, Fiona, and Sasha as to track down the money, with neither side trusting the other. At Bossanova's base, a former Atlas facility, Felix stays with his vehicle as the others are inadvertently split into two; Rhys and Sasha enter the base via an underground vent, while Fiona and Vaughn accidentally find themselves in a bandit death race, learning the briefcase is the prize for winning the race. As the race proceeds, Zer0 arrives and disrupts the race while attacking Bossanova, causing the briefcase to be tossed around between various trucks until it is caught by Felix. Fiona catches up to him, realizing that he has turned on her, but he is soon killed when he opens the case and a biometric security bomb inside detonates, which also destroys the money. As the four regroup, they find a secret chamber in the Atlas base, including a strange device that displays a map to a new Vault on Pandora. As they look, a hologram of Handsome Jack appears, and tells them this is part of the "Gortys Project".
