Behind the Scenes of ‘Tales from the Borderlands’ – The Gearbox Interview
Today we would like to share an all-new interview with our friends at Gearbox Software about our upcoming episodic game series, Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Games Series.
The video features some exclusive new footage from the game, as well as interviews with Borderlands Creator and Franchise Director, Matthew Armstrong, Borderlands 2 writer Anthony Burch, producer James Lopez, and Gearbox Software CEO & President, Randy Pitchford.
Hear from the team behind the franchise as they discuss working with Telltale on the upcoming series, which will be premiering for download VERY soon!
The season will feature Troy Baker as Rhys, Laura Bailey as Fiona, Chris Hardwick as Vaughn, Erin Yvette as Sasha, Patrick Warburton as Vasquez, Nolan North as August and Dameon Clarke as Handsome Jack. Additional casting details from the season are yet to be announced.
Set on the unforgiving world of Pandora after the events seen in Borderlands 2, Tales from the Borderlands is a five part episodic game series full of Borderlands’ trademark humor, following two adventurers on their quest for greatness.
You’ll play as Rhys, a Hyperion ‘suit’ with dreams of being the next Handsome Jack, and Fiona, a Pandoran con artist looking to score her biggest ever swindle. Thrown together as unwilling partners in an adventure to recover cash they both think is theirs, their journey will take you on a wild ride where gangsters, bandit lords, and Vault Hunters are just some of the obstacles you’ll encounter, in this new take on the award-winning universe created by Gearbox Software.
