For the first time since 2019, Telltale Games’ Tales From the Borderlands series will hit stores again on February 17.
The developer of the Borderlands series Gearbox announced the news on Wednesday at the official Borderlands Twitter recognitiont.

Gearbox has not confirmed to which digital store windows Tales would return, but the game released earlier on Steam. Borderlands 3 also landed on Steam and in the Epic Games Store. Gearbox also provided no pricing information.
Tales From the Borderlands was one of the many victims of the now infamous hoarding of Telltale Games in 2018. After mass dismissal, many of the studio’s games were pulled from digital store windows or, if they were in development (such as The Wolf Among Us 2 ), cancelled. Tales From the Borderlands actually manages to escape the first round of steam removal, but both Valve and Good Old Games removed Tales from their platforms in mid-2019 for inexplicable reasons.
Tales From the Borderlands was originally released on November 25, 2014 with high praise for its comic storytelling and classic strength. Tales follows Borderlands 2 and follows the adventures of two Hyperion employees and a fraudster who hunts down a mythical safe, prompting numerous hilarious distractions along the way. It features voice recordings from the likes of Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, Chris Hardwick, Ashley Johnson and Patrick Warburton.
A number of Telltale’s pre-Walking Dead catalogs are not available on Steam, including Back to the Future and Game of Thrones.
