The second episode Tales from the Borderlands, Telltale Games and Gearbox Software’s episodic adventure set in the world of Borderlands, arrives the week of March 17, as was revealed during Gearbox’s PAX East 2015 panel.

The episode, titled Atlas Mugged, picks up where we left our antiheroes Rhys and Fiona, hunting down a vault on Pandora. Borderlands mainstay Handsome Jack features more prominently in the events of episode two. Also, just as the ninja Zer0 from Borderlands 2 made an appearance in the previous episode, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel‘s shield-wielding Athena shows up in Atlas, according to the new teaser trailer.

Tales from the Borderlands fuses Telltale’s story-driven gameplay with the humorous characters and world-building of Gearbox’s Borderlands franchise. Rhys, a low-level Hyperion employee, finds himself in a tentative partnership with Fiona, a hustler from the Pandoran surface. Together they are on a quest to make their fortune by finding one of Pandora’s famous vaults.

Revenge of the Savage Planet spins Google Stadia trauma into comedy gold
Two astronauts frolic as bugs fly overhead in Revenge of the Savage Planet.

The gaming news cycle is so hectic these days that it’s easy to completely forget about a ridiculous industry saga. I was reminded of that while demoing Revenge of the Savage Planet, the latest game from Racoon Logic. When I sat down to try a demo of it ahead of The Game Awards last week, I was greeted by a satirical introduction as a corporate orientation video cheerfully explained that I was an employee on a dangerous mission. As it played, the developer showing me the demo made a crack about Google. I didn’t really understand why, so I laughed and moved on.

It wasn’t until a few minutes later that a long-forgotten thought came back to me. In 2019, Google acquired Typhoon Studios. They were folded into what was supposed to be Google’s first-party game studio, Stadia Games and Entertainment. Two years later, the entire project was shut down and Typhoon Games was spat back out. It formed Racoon Logic later that year, putting the team back to where it started as an indie team.

When you look at the best PlayStation 5 games, or even a list of the best video games of all time, odds are you will see at least one game from developer Naughty Dog. Our list of upcoming video games was already stacked prior to The Game Awards 2024, but the last announcement of the night added one more to the list that might beat out other heavy hitters like Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine. As this is coming from Naughty Dog, this is already one of our most anticipated upcoming PS5 game, but others might need more convincing. We took out a bounty on all the information there is on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and this is what we came up with.
