A few weeks ago, it was discovered that PEGI — the European ratings board for games — listed a PlayStation 5 release of Tales from the Borderlands. Fans were left wondering if that meant a souped-up PS5 port was coming, but at least for now, it seems that's not the case. However, publisher 2K has announced the beloved adventure game is back on digital storefronts, including PlayStation Store.
The PS4 version we all know and love has been absent from the Store for well over a year, but it's now back and available for purchase. As of today, you can buy Tales from the Borderlands once again. This time, though, you can't get the individual episodes separately; it's all lumped together in one package for £15.99 / $19.99. There don't appear to be any enhancements — it's just been put back on the PS Store with all five episodes included.
If you still have a save file handy on your PS4, you can pick up where you left off with this new version. Additionally, if you'd rather play it on PS5 via backwards compatibility, you can, and your save will carry over too.
As for that PEGI rating, it's either an error, or is needed due to the game being backwards compatible, which seems unlikely. Whatever the case, the game's back. Will you be hopping into Tales from the Borderlands again? Tell us in the comments section below.

For those interested this is a great game and possibly TT best along with The Wolf Among Us.
@Quintumply do you know if this means we might see Minecraft Story Mode season 2 make a re-appearance?
@Mostik I honestly have no idea, sorry. If I was to guess, I'd say this has no bearing on Minecraft Story Mode. Then again, if this has been brought back, there's a chance for any other lost Telltale games, I suppose!
This is probably my second favourite Telltale game after Wolf.
Why was this delisted in the first place?
have too agree with everyone else, easily their best game after wolf among us
@Voltan Prob to do with Telltale going bust or licensing issues. Or both.
Does anyone else remember when a trailer for a remaster for this game "leaked" online, with a sequel tease at the end? Guess it was a fake going by the fact of a remaster never coming out but what a fine looking trailer it was. Also, this game's spectacular, more people NEED to play it.
Never played Borderlands, but I tend to enjoy these types of games. Would it make sense for me to play this?/Would I enjoy it despite knowing nothing about the franchise?
I platinum'd this on PS4. A real shame it's not been given a PS5 make over.
@everynowandben I played it having never played Borderlands before and I enjoyed it immensely
I’ve literally just finished replaying my old copy on PS5 and the slightly faster loading improves things. But considering how gorgeous Borderlands 3 looked on next gen I’d love some PS5 enhanced Telltale rereleases with this one top of the list. Awesome soundtrack too!
What's strange is, while the original TftB is just as downloadable and playable from my PS4 library as ever, the PS Store marks this relisting at full price, as an entirely separate app, with no apparent discount for prior owners. While functionally nothing's changed (I'd hope), this still feels odd and may serve to confuse players who may've forgotten their prior purchase, or who for some reason might go to the Store to redownload things.
