In the world of Borderlands, you're always in danger of being shot at, stabbed, double-crossed or eaten by mutant wildlife. Maybe that's why we can't get enough.

In the first gameplay trailer for Tales from the Borderlands, the story-focused adventure game developed not by Gearbox Software, but by Telltale Games, shows that the world of Pandora -- and its twisted inhabitants -- are just as dangerous as ever.

Although Tales from the Borderlands was announced in December, this is the first time fans have seen gameplay, though Telltale Games has shown the game to press at various trade shows. We see the game's two playable characters, Rhys and Fiona -- who have their own motives -- forced to team up. Rhys is an employee of Hyperion, which has been left in shambles after the death of Handsome Jack at the end of Borderlands 2. Fiona is a con artist taking whatever actions are necessary to survive in the cutthroat world of Pandora.

Tales from the Borderlands first season will take place over five episodes, the first of which should be out before the end of the year, according to Telltale. It will be available as a downloadable game on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PC and iOS.
