However, the hybrid platform received Borderlands 3: Ultimate Edition on October 6th. It includes the base game, four story DLC packs, +30 cosmetics, the Designer’s Cut and Director’s Cut for $59.99. Pandora’s Box also throws in Borderlands 1 and 2 with their DLC, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Tales from the Borderlands and New Tales from the Borderlands.

The question is whether Borderlands 3: Ultimate Edition owners on Switch can upgrade to the Pandora’s Box version. Such an offer is already in place for Xbox owners who own any game from the latter, so we’ll need to wait and see.

Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box could be announced at The Game Awards on December 7th along with the rumored Borderlands 4 and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands 2. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

In addition, players get DLC for all titles, which means numerous story packs, customization packs, Class Packs and more. Perhaps the best part about all this is that the collection is available until September 15th for $59.99 (after which it will retail for $149.99).

Xbox players who own any single game can upgrade to the Pandora’s Box collection for $30, while PlayStation owners must Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition or Borderlands: The Handsome Collection on PS4 or Borderlands 3 on PS4 or PS5 to upgrade for the same price. PC players on Steam can pay for whatever content is missing.

As for Nintendo Switch players, Borderlands 3: Ultimate Edition launches on October 6th.

The collection includes Borderlands 1-3, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Tales from the Borderlands, and New Tales from the Borderlands, with all DLC included. It’s a digital-only release that retails for $149.99 but will be available at $59.99 for a limited time. Those who own any games on Xbox can purchase the bundle for $30 on the Microsoft Store to complete their collection.

PlayStation owners who own Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition or Borderlands: The Handsome Collection on PS4, or Borderlands 3 on PS4/PS5 can upgrade to Pandora’s Box for $30 from within any of these games. On Steam, players will have to pay for any content that isn’t owned, with the final cost reflected on the Steam Store page.

Borderlands wouldn’t be the first game to be showcased at the event by any means; a number of announcements have been made so far in the build up to the event, including Honkai: Star Rail, The Outlast Trials, Gotham Knights, The Expanse: A Telltale Series, Hogwarts Legacy, High on Life, and Sonic Frontiers, among other titles.

Gamescom Opening Night Live is set to take place tomorrow and can be watched live. Host Geoff Keighley has described the event as “a night of game announcemments, world premieres, and more”. Gamescom will also feature a physical event that fans can attend to try out several upcoming games.

Several major gaming companies have announced that they will be part of Gamescom, including Microsoft, Bandai Namco, and Ubisoft. Sony and Nintendo, however, have announced that they will not be attending the event.

A brand-new Tales from the Borderlands game is in development, and unlike the first game, it’s being developed by Gearbox itself, and will be published by 2K. Offering a similar interactive adventure experience, the new Tales from the Borderlands game will feature a new cast of characters and tell an entirely new story.

Gearbox says that a full reveal for the game is scheduled for this summer, and that it’ll launch in 2022 itself. It’s an exciting announcement for fans of the first game, of course, though understandably, there are still some questions worth asking here. For starters, fans will be hoping that the sequel brings on at least part of the first game’s writing team, because that was where the experience really shone.

It’ll also be interesting to see whether any of the characters introduced in the new game make appearances in other future Borderlands games as well. After all, there was plenty of crossover between the original Tales from the Borderlands and Borderlands 3.

No platforms have been announced yet, while it also hasn’t been confirmed whether the game will be episodic like its predecessor or released in one go. Given that it’s been given a 2022 launch window, it could likely be the latter.

There are more stories to explore in the #Borderlands universe. An all new Tales from the Borderlands adventure is coming in 2022 from @GearboxOfficial and @2K.

Telltale’s episodic graphic adventure title Tales from the Borderlands was announced for the Nintendo Switch a little over a month ago, and the game is out now for the hybrid platform. It can be purchased via the Switch eShop for $24.99. Check out its launch trailer below.

Taking place after the events of Borderlands 2, Tales from the Borderlands puts the spotlight on a group of misfits as they journey across Pandora to find and access a Vault. It’s often regarded as one of Borderlands’ better entries, and one of Telltale’s best games, so if you haven’t played it yet, now’s your chance.

In addition to the Switch, Tales from the Borderlands is also available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, with its recent re-release also being playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S via backward compatibility- though there’s also a chance of native next-gen ports of the game.

Some rumours have also suggested that a sequel might be in the works. Read more on that through here and here.

While a lot of Telltale’s output in the last few years before their closure left something to be desired, it’s hard to find a lot of issues with Tales from the Borderlands, a game that was full of charm, humour, excellent characters, and even better writing. That game’s seen a bit of a resurgence of late, thanks to a much-awaited re-release, and will soon also be coming to the Switch.

Announced during the recent Nintendo Direct, the episodic narrative adventure title will be launching for the Switch on March 24. Set between Borderlands 2 and 3, Tales from the Borderlands follows Rhys, Fiona, and co as they set off to find and open a Vault. Probably one of the best entries in the Borderlands series (weirdly enough), if you haven’t yet tried out this game, now would be your chance to do so.

Tales from the Borderlands is currently available on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. It was recently also rated by PEGI for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, so it’s possible that next-gen versions are on the way as well.

Tales From the Borderlands, an episodic adventure by Gearbox Software and Telltale Games, is available for purchase again on digital storefronts. It was originally removed when Telltale Games faced bankruptcy and subsequently shut down (before being revived again). Along with Xbox One, PS4 and PC via Steam, it’s also available on Epic Games Store and supports backwards compatibility on Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

Comprised of five episodes, Tales From the Borderlands takes place after the second game and focuses on Rhys and Fiona as they explore Pandora for a Vault Key. Eventually, characters from the main series make appearances and events go on to impact the core story. The gameplay itself is more about dialogue choices and quick-time events than, well, looting and shooting.

For more details on Tales From the Borderlands, check out our review for the complete season here. Rumors have stated that another season is in the works but nothing has been officially announced yet. Telltale Games is busy with The Wolf Among Us 2, though it currently doesn’t have a release window.

After being removed from digital storefronts in 2018, 2K Games and the (new) Telltale Games have announced that Tales from the Borderlands will be returning to the same on February 17th. It will be available for Xbox One, PS4 and PC and include all five episodes together. The console versions will also be playable on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 through backwards compatibility.

Taking place after Borderlands 2, Tales from the Borderlands follows the unlikely pair of Rhys and Fiona. The former works for Hyperion while the latter is a con artist operating on Pandora – their fates intertwine in pursuit of a Vault Key. Unlike the looter shooter franchise, gameplay is based on quick-time events and cinematic sequences along with extensive dialogue.

The story generally changes based on one’s dialogue choices and there are plenty of fun cameos and references to Gearbox’s series. Tales from the Borderlands has generally been praised for its writing and story direction – you can check out our review for it here. As for whether it will actually get proper Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions (based on rumors of a “Redux” version), stay tuned for more details.

Telltale Games had a pretty erratic track record with their releases in their final years before shutting down, but one game that was a highlight from their output was Tales from the Borderlands. Receiving strong reception for its writing and characters from series fans and newcomers alike, Tales from the Borderlands is by far one of the studio’s best games. And now, it seems it could be headed to the newer consoles as well.

As pointed out by Gematsu on Twitter, Tales from the Borderlands has been handed an age rating by PEGI (the European certifications board) for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Ports of the game for new consoles have not been officially announced, of course, but a PEGI certification would suggest that that announcement might be coming soon.

Multiple rumours last year suggested that a sequel to Tales from the Borderlands was also in the works, and if that is indeed true (of which there is honestly no guarantee), it’s possible that the first game might be getting a re-release to drum up some hype. Either way, take this with a grain of salt until we get an official announcement.

In the meantime, there are other things coming from reformed Telltale Games that have been officially confirmed. The Wolf Among Us 2 arrives later this year, and unlike its predecessor, it won’t be releasing in episodic fashion. Read more on that through here.

Here's something that went unnoticed: PEGI rated Tales from the @Borderlands for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC back in December. @2K @GearboxOfficial @telltalegames what're ya waiting for? pic.twitter.com/AUhVj5vTxh
