Borderlands live-action gets a date and a director

Telltale Games’ Borderlands franchise has been a hit among fans since its first release in 2009. The developers combined elements and styles from a lot of different genres, which gave Borderlands its signature gameplay style. Borderlands games are a series of action role-playing games that also have elements from first-person looter shooter games. Travel to a distant planet, Pandora, to find The Vault and save the universe: the premise of the Borderlands titles made the gameplay all the more impressive.

Set in a dystopian land, Borderlands has been able to create an environment for players that’s almost surreal. Apart from just being a great title, Borderlands also managed to take a deep dive into human society and psyche in ways that can be chilling at times. Rumors about a live-action adaptation have been in the air for quite some time, without confirmation.
