You’ll play as Rhys, a Hyperion ‘suit’ with dreams of being the next Handsome Jack, and Fiona, a Pandoran con artist looking to score her biggest ever swindle. Thrown together as unwilling partners in an adventure to recover cash they both think is theirs, their journey will take you on a wild ride where gangsters, bandit lords, and Vault Hunters are just some of the obstacles you’ll encounter in this new take on the award-winning universe created by Gearbox Software."

Based on your preferred platform, Tales from the Borderlands is either out now or coming very soon!

Formerly a Wii U exclusive, the delayed Rayman Legends was already announced to be coming to 360 and PS3, and today Ubisoft has announced that a Vita version of the game will be available as well.
