With Telltale Games closing, many intellectual properties licenses and franchises have been left for dead, which is disappointing if you consider all the work they’ve been doing on stuff like The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead (which at least had a final season), Batman, and Tales from the Borderlands.
For what matters Tales, there’s someone who still cares about the series, which only had one season released for multiple platforms, and that someone is nonetheless one of the Borderlands 3 lead writers, Sam Winkler.
“I would love to pick up where Tales from the Borderlands Season 1 left off,” Winkler told ComicBook. “There’s so many unsolved threads there, and even though we brought some characters into Borderlands 3, there’s still a lot of question marks.”
“I am a die-hard fan of Tales, and I inserted some winks and nods that are probably going to drive some fan wiki articles,” he also mentioned, not shying away from a close connection between the two games, which is not unexpected if you consider that Tales from the Borderlands Season 1 is canon.
While Telltale Games as a brand is being revived (by someone who’s never worked for the developer, anyway), there’s still some chance of sorts that Gearbox could be in touch with anyone who’s interested in doing it, like creatives from the original series, and go for a Season 2 once Borderlands 3’s development has wrapped up. Would you like that?
