What's that? Still hungry for more Borderlands news? Even after the announcement of new Pre-Sequel DLC and Dance Central cameos? Alright, well, how about the other Borderlands series that's currently going down? Yes, the second episode of Tales from the Borderlands was addressed during Sunday's PAX East panel and was finally given a release window.

A new trailer for Episode 2: Atlas Mugged was revealed, showing some of the dangers that await the motley crew of would-be 'Vault Hunters' atop Pandora. And it further builds on the events of the first episode, including Rhys' sudden visions of Borderlands 2 big bad Handsome Jack.

"From the trailer and the key art, Jack makes an appearance," Telltale director Nick Herman said during the panel. "A bunch of this episode is him dealing with Rhys and trying to figure out what's going on."

While Herman was hesitant to commit to a date, his Telltale brethren were confident that Tales from the Borderlands' second episode 'Atlas Mugged' would arrive on the week of March 17 on all of its supported platforms. That marks a whopping four months since the first episode debuted. The trailer will be posted as soon as it becomes available.

Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
