Tales from the Borderlands is a single-player, choice-driven narrative adventure set in the Borderlands universe, between the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3. This release includes all five episodes.
The story follows two unreliable narrators: Rhys, a Hyperion company man who wants to replace Handsome Jack as head of the corporation, and Fiona, a con artist who can talk her way out of almost anything. When a shady deal goes wrong they have to team up, running into gangsters, cannibalistic bandits and dangerous wildlife on Pandora and Helios.
The player guides their actions, and every choice drives the story forward and shapes relationships, with consequences that range from funny to heartbreaking. Familiar faces from the Borderlands series appear alongside new characters such as Rhys's best friend Vaughn and Fiona's sister Sasha. On PC the game has full controller support.
