Playable demo in our booth at PAX Prime!

Hey guys!

Sharing here for those who don't keep up with the blog/Facebook/Twitter... we'll have the very first public, playable demo of Tales from the Borderlands in our booth at PAX Prime, AND some special PAX-exclusive t-shirts as well!

More info in the blog post here. If you're in Seattle for the convention, come say hello! I'll be around. :)

  • Dang! Wish I could be there. Are those shirts really exclusive? Like, if you don't show up at PAX you can't get them anywhere else?

    REALLY really. Not even the folks at the Telltale office get these unless they're working the convention!

  • Will we be getting a trailer at PAX? O3o

  • That sucks, it would have been sweet to get a Fiona or Rhys shirt.

    We thought about releasing a special trailer for PAX, but realised we'd be able to make it significantly more awesome if we waited a little longer.

    I'll try to make up for it with a bunch of pictures of the booth!

    Man oh man. The team has been working super hard getting ready for PAX to make something special, and I can't wait to hear what fans think of the demo. :D

    For those of us who can't go, will those who attend be able to record video or will coverage mostly be written previews like E3?

  • Looks awesome, very upset I can't be attending :(

    I hope we'll be getting some more news about the game itself soon, I can't wait!

    It'll be written stuff and video interviews, no gameplay footage. Basically we want everything to be 100% polished before we put out videos that will live on the internet forever.

  • Looks exciting! Can we expect anything on Game of Thrones as well?

    ... Maybe. ;)

  • Ohhh I hope we get the playable character revealed :D

    Fingers crossed for another female protagonist so that since TWD we would have had even numbers of male and female ones!

    ok correct me if i'm wrong but from memory some important info was revealed for twau at pax 2013 and the first episode was released in october so maybe this is happening with borderlands too?

  • Female Lead in GOT would be super cool. :D

    So.... is there anything for us poor sods that can't go to PAX or don't even live on the same continent?
    Because as of right now I feel pretty much shafted living in Europe.
    Can't get a shirt, can't play the demo, don't get to see any gameplay.
    I feel pretty much the opposite of hype over here. :(

  • Wait, so is the playable demo a part of the final game, or is it something that you guys created just for the sake of giving people some hands-on time?

  • I feel the same ..

    I asked Puzzlebox about what we could expect in terms of coverage above, and she said that we can probably expect written coverage just like E3 - except in this case, it seems it will be from a wider audience and not just the gaming press.

  • If it's anything like the E3 Demo Telltale showed the press, it's probably a little bit of the first episode. The E3 demo showed the first 40 minutes, but given that this demo is public, it's probably a shorter sample.

  • I was a Fiona cosplayer at PaX 2015 - I couldn't make PAX 2014 due to being back in England..... Is there a way i can purchase a Fiona shirt?

  • Those shirts where only available at PAX prime 2014 and in limited quantities so unfortunately there is no way to purchase them.
