Good news for Borderlands fans as the much anticipated Borderlands 2 PS4 and Xbox One port has been confirmed if the reports are to be believed­.

EGX 2014 is going to be one of the most exciting game expo this year next to E3 as a bunch of new details from a bunch of the upcoming games would be announced there and it seems like the Borderlands 2 PS4 and Xbox One editions has been confirmed and details about the port would be revealed on EGX 2014 along with Telltale Games' Tales from the Borderlands release date.

Cyberland has reported that 2K Games has allegedly confirmed the Borderlands 2 PS4 and Xbox One port and that both games would run at 1080p 60 fps and that Telltale Games' would announce the Tales from the Borderlands release date at EGX 2014.

Cyberland also claimed that the Borderlands 2 PS4 and Xbox One release date has been set for Spring 2015.

As reported by KpopStarz, Telltale community @puzzlebox has described the project genesis on her twitter as follows: "Telltalegames and Gearbox Software got drunk at last year's VGAs and now they're having a Borderlands baby". It is going to be a Telltale style decions based point and click game, set in the normally FPS "Borderlands" world. Set after the events of "Borderlands 2"

The events of "Tales From The Borderlands" take place after the events of "Borderlands 2," not to be confused with "Borderlands the Pre Sequel" which takes place between "Borderlands" and "Borderlands 2." However, plot events from "Tales From The Borderlands" do connect with "The Pre Sequel" in some ways that have not been made clear(Confused Yet?)The game is actaully told from two playable character's perspectives, and you play their story, both of their stories, not what actually happened. Rhys (played by Sam Witwer aka Crashdown from Battlestar Galactica) and Fiona, who both work for Hyperion. It starts when Vasquez calls them into their office about a vault key, and gets crazier from there.

Telltale Games Kevin Bruner explains that "you never really play what actually happened, you're playing this Big Fish version of what happened."

Set in the world of Pandora and following the events of Borderlands 2, the humour of Gearbox's series will remain, and as Bruner says "...you have to have crazy, over-the-top action scenes, or it's not a Borderlands game."

Gearbox writer Anthony Burch says Tales from the Borderlands is about the people of Pandora, and not about characters from the series, though they will make an appearance. He says the story will be "more about schmos trying to get by...that makes the world feel much more real."

"We're not making up a lot of these details [in Tales from the Borderlands]," Bruner says. "These details are in canon. They're from the Gearbox universe. But there just isn't as much of an opportunity in Borderlands to experience it."

"In the first-person shooter, you're responsible for tons of the chaos," he says. "You go through and you're just laying waste everywhere. But what would it be like to live in that world and have that be your reality? To have to grow up in that?

"What would it be like, instead of being a vault hunter, to be a person who has to deal with that world and to try to make your way through it?"

Gamefront had some hands on time with the game and had this to say about it, " While the lack of run and gun is to be expected in this story and choice driven game, don't expect that to mean a lack of action. Within my 30 minutes with Tales, I found myself surrounded by Psycho Bandits, engaged in an all-out shoot-out, but this time with Loaders on my side. I witnessed a vault hunter discover a chest out in the desert, only to be murdered by a bandit whose remaining seconds in life were to be spent being accidentally run over by my car. I even got to witness a Nomad kicking down a port-a-potty and rip off the door to use as it's iconic shield. Not only that, but I collected some dollars and potentially sweet loot for all of my trouble. What will those dollars buy me? Only more time with the game will tell."
