The second episode Tales from the Borderlands, Telltale Games and Gearbox Software’s episodic adventure set in the world of Borderlands, arrives the week of March 17, as was revealed during Gearbox’s PAX East 2015 panel.

The episode, titled Atlas Mugged, picks up where we left our antiheroes Rhys and Fiona, hunting down a vault on Pandora. Borderlands mainstay Handsome Jack features more prominently in the events of episode two. Also, just as the ninja Zer0 from Borderlands 2 made an appearance in the previous episode, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel‘s shield-wielding Athena shows up in Atlas, according to the new teaser trailer.

Rhys, a low-level Hyperion employee, finds himself in a tentative partnership with Fiona, a hustler from the Pandoran surface. Together they are on a quest to make their fortune by finding one of Pandora’s famous vaults.

Released in February to surprise acclaim, PlayStation and Arrowhead's co-op shooter quickly became the kind of success story that any gaming company would want to emulate. In a world of live service risks, this one was paying off thanks to a dedicated community whose commitment to democracy showed no signs of slowing down.

Then it all came crashing down in an instant.

Helldivers 2 has been a huge hit this yea,r with a consistent player base since its launch in February and a peak of over 450,000 players. Fighting for Super Earth, players have been waging war against monstrous insects and deadly robots and laying down their lives for democracy. But the game's reputation took a hit recently when it was announced that PC players would have to register for a PlayStation Network account to continue playing the game — a move that would have left players in parts of the world with no PSN support high and dry.

In  response, there was a major outcry (and review bombing of the game on Steam) in response, which led Sony and Arrowhead Game Studios to swiftly alter their policies to appease the player base. The entire ordeal has been a bit of a whirlwind, so it's OK if you're a little lost. Here's what you need to know.
