Gearbox did not confirm which Tales digital storefronts it would return to, but the game previously released on Steam. Borderlands 3 also ended up on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Gearbox also did not provide pricing information.
Tales From the Borderlands was one of the many victims of Telltale Games’ now infamous closure in 2018. After massive layoffs, many of the studio’s games were pulled from digital stores or, if they were in development (like The Wolf Between Us 2), canceled. Tales From the Borderlands managed to escape the first round of Steam removals, but both Valve and Good Old Games removed Tales from their platforms in mid-2019 for unexplained reasons.
Tales From the Borderlands was originally released on November 25, 2014 and received high praise for its comedic narrative and classic Telltale strengths. Set after Borderlands 2, Tales follows the adventures of two Hyperion employees and a con man hunting for a mythical vault, spurring countless hilarious diversions along the way. He has dubbed names like Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, Chris Hardwick, Ashley Johnson and Patrick Warburton.
Several Telltale pre-Walking Dead catalogs remain unavailable on Steam, including Back to the Future and Game of Thrones.
