'Tales From The Borderlands' Release Date, Spoilers, And Trailers: Patrick Warburton And Chris Hardwick To Voice Characters: Telltale Says You Can Import Loot From Other 'Borderland's Titles'[VIDEO]

Telltale Game's "Tales From The Borderlands" is release date is coming. Though no exact release date has been announced Telltale has said the gam's release date will be in 2014, so look for more announcemnts coming in the next few months.

So far this is shaping up to be a very interesting game. You see Borderlands is a loot and scoot, run and gun kind of game, and Telltlae does decision based games with very little action. Its kind of a hard thing to imagine, but if they can combine Telltale's very real human relationships, with Borderland's humorous satire on the human condition, it could really shape up to be one hell of a game.

Telltale community @puzzlebox has described the project genesis on her twitter as follows: "Telltalegames and Gearbox Software got drunk at last year's VGAs and now they're having a Borderlands baby". It is going to be a Telltale style decions based point and click game, set in the normally FPS "Borderlands" world. Set after the events of "Borderlands 2"

The game is actaully told from two playable character's perspectives, and you play their story, both of their stories, not what actually happened. Rhys (played by Sam Witwer aka Crashdown from Battlestar Galactica) and Fiona, who both work for Hyperion. It starts when Vasquez calls them into their office about a vault key, and gets crazier from there.

Telltale Games Kevin Bruner explains that "you never really play what actually happened, you're playing this Big Fish version of what happened."

Set in the world of Pandora and following the events of Borderlands 2, the humour of Gearbox's series will remain, and as Bruner says "...you have to have crazy, over-the-top action scenes, or it's not a Borderlands game."

Gearbox writer Anthony Burch says Tales from the Borderlands is about the people of Pandora, and not about characters from the series, though they will make an appearance. He says the story will be "more about schmos trying to get by...that makes the world feel much more real."

Telltale Games' also has said that "Tales From The Borderlands" allows players to use the loot they grab in any other "Borderlands" game according to a post on the PlayStation Blog by producer Adam Sarasohn.

According to Sarasohn, the loot players collect in the epsodic downloadable series will be "available to use in other areas of the Borderlands franchise."

Each episode of Tales from the Borderlands will cost $4.99 each, and there will be a season pass available to purchase all episodes at once.

"Pandora has a wealth of stories to offer, and Gearbox wants them told," Sarasohn wrote. "Telltale is going to collaborate with you through the choices that you make to get some of those stories out there, and to create a brand new Borderlands experience. If you play Borderlands simply for the sake of shooting stuff, then you might not be a fan of Tales, but if you enjoy being on Pandora, hanging out with and finding out more about all of the amazing characters, and/or you've enjoyed what we did in The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, then this might be a game series for you."

Voice actors from the previous "Borderlands" games will return to voice characters in this game, including Dameon Clarke as Handsome Jack. In addition, voice actors including Nolan North, Patrick Warburton, Chris Hardwick, and Sam Witwer will voice characters in the game.

Again, "Tales From The Borderlands" does not have an exact release date, but Telltale has promised us a release date in 2014, so expect a release date announcemtn soon.
