I compiled this a few months as to where writers/directors from TFTB currently are:
Writers
Pierre Shorette - CCO at AdHoc (Making wol… moref among us 2)
Adam Hines - Co founded Night School Studios (Oxenfree and AfterParty)
Jeremy Breslau - Narrative Director at Sony
Chuck Jordan - Apparently he recently made a game for the PlayDate, guess he's small indie so there might be a bigger chance for him? Dude has quite the resume.
Eric Stirpe - Lead Writer at Remedy.
Anthony Burch - Writer at Santa Monica Studio
Zack Keller - Narrative Director at King
Directors:
Nick Herman - Same boat as Pierre Shorette, working at AdHoc
Jonathan Stauder - Working at Deck Nine, so possibly working on The Expanse Telltale game
Ashley Ruhl - Seems to be working at Bioware on Star Wars: The Old Republic (well, until recently)
Martin Montgomery - Seems to be a creative director at Genvid Technologies, seems to be working on a Walking Dead project that's part game part streaming series.
However I think Rhys does appear at one point in the story from what the trailer showed I’m not sure if it’s him though. Also I really wish they would’ve brought Rhys and Fiona back in a new game instead of the new cast they have. But I’ll probably end up getting the game anyway 😝😝

Vaultlanders is a minigame where you battle to the death (with small plastic figures). Throughout the story, there are surprise encounters where you’ll need to engage in plastic figurine warfare, attacking and dodging the enemy figurine via quick time events (QTEs). These battles are for keeps, as the victor takes the loser’s Vaultlander for their collection! As you play, you can acquire more Vaultlanders through glorious combat and by finding them hidden throughout the environment.
Guys. I think Bruner house is who Randy was talking about.
https://www.brunerhouse.com/
(There's no blog post saying they are working on it, but the front page has New Tales so take that as you will.)
Checked his twitter, looks like he is involved. My guess is by "some original members" it means Bruner and they probably just outsourced like 2 other people at Bruner House. (Kind of how Tales doesnt credit Gearbox as developers despite they did help with the game.)
Now the question is who is working at Bruner house at the moment then. I remember reading a while back he hired some of the original Telltale devs. (which is pretty ridiculous since everyone seemed to hate the guy lol)

I guess that was too be expected. So it seems the reality is no one who worked as a writer or director is involved, but a writer who worked at Telltale after Tales wrapped is what we consider "original" for this game. Then Kevin Bruner as well.
I assume Bruner House probably has a few more, but honestly something tells me Bruner was a consultant or something. Either way, pretty shitty to act like the game has "original devs" when it doesn't.
Also the irony of the guy who wanted to axe Tales from the Borderlands after episode 3 gets to work on the next game.
Connor Cleary is the Telltale writer who went to Gearbox. He worked on GOTG and Batman s2.
I learned this from YouTube comments months ago, of all places!
Wanting New Tales to flop so Gearbox won't rope in Fiona and Sasha and flanderize them in the future but knowing full well if it flops the chances of a proper Tales 2 from Telltale will never happen
I didn't hate the trailer but the dialogue certainly got a bit... grating, which is something I probably should have expected considering it's Gearbox.
I assume Bruner House probably has a few more, but honestly something tells me Bruner was a consultant or something. Either way, pretty shitty to act like the game has "original devs" when it doesn't.
I can't believe they brought him back of all people considering how vocal former Telltale staff were about his abuse and how he tried to get the first game canned midway through development because it wasn't selling well enough.

Bruner stuff is always weird. I mean so many people bad talked him and then went to work for Bruner House. Like I understand that he was making similar games I am sure most people who went to work there were interested in so they may have figured it was better than working on something they don't want to, but still it is a very strange situation.
But the whole thing with how he wanted to can Tales does really irk me to be honest. Dude wanted to just go "eh nevermind" half way through a season and pull the plug and made a skeleton crew finish up the game, but now he can just be involved with the next outing?
Hey remember to boycott Wolf 2 everyone because it isn't the original devs!

If there's one small positive I can say about the trailer aside from Anu (lab coat lady), is that Lou13 honestly seems pretty cool from the glimpses we got.
In an interview about the games development, about half way through the season management wanted to essentially say screw it and pull the team apart to work on other things because Tales wasn't making money. Managements goal was basically to just pump out the last 2 episodes regardless of quality or length. (Basically what happened with TWAU's last 2 episodes, but to a larger degree as Tales had 2 long breaks between episodes compared to Wolf's 1) The leads basically had to make a deal to keep going with a skeleton crew rather than just pump out 2 extremely short and rushed episodes.
That’s terrible! I really enjoyed Tales from the Borderlands. But props to the team for making an excellent game those last two were amazing so even though it was less employees working on it, it was still an amazing experience that more people should play.

Sorry that I was occupied earlier in the day. I have a gif, although it's a different kind of explosion. I made it myself - it has been a long time since I've done that:
I'm impressed with the graphic quality and art style, although I wasn't particularly taken by the dialogue. I get it's a trailer and all though. I agree that the robot looks pretty cool, and the mini-game looks kind of fun. I guess I'm just...well, I don't know, indifferent? I want to be excited though, I want a good fun, good fun, very fun game. But maybe I'm not optimistic that'll come.

Same here. I don't really feel it when I see the trailer. Look like it was fun and interesting. But,not optimistic about it. Dialogue didn't even do it for me when I heard in this trailer. Not to mention no Sasha or Fiona. Especially Sasha. I don't feel like I ain't going to play it. It looks just like I don't want to play at all.
Well, Rhys is in the game, that's something.

I decided I'll be giving this shot after talking with a friend. I'm still weary in aspects but I just really miss this style of narrative. (5 eps, QTEs, constant dialog trees). Will be active in the forums when this drops by playing an episode a day and discussing it like an og telltale game.
Looks like the trend of the best character being a robot might continue.
He definitely has some potential, though to be fair, we haven't heard him talk yet. Who knows what kind of "quirky" and "cool" dialogue has Gearbox in store for him.
If there's one small positive I can say about the trailer aside from Anu (lab coat lady), is that Lou13 honestly seems pretty cool from the glimpses we got.
Lou13 should be loud, angry and have access to a time machine, and whenever he's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Lou13?"

Where did you hear Eric Stirpe was at Remedy, most of his latest work seems to be a bunch of Fortnite stuff with Epic.
However I think Rhys does appear at one point in the story from what the trailer showed I’m not sure if it’s him though. Also I really wish they would’ve brought Rhys and Fiona back in a new game instead of the new cast they have. But I’ll probably end up getting the game anyway 😝😝
It's on his LinkedIn, Lead Writer at Remedy, he left Epic Games in January of this year.
It's definitely him, seems to be crying about a Zer0 figure being sold.
So, boys. Did Rhys scream sound like Ray or Troy
Anyway, looking up more info and:
A minigame is kind of neat to have, I suppose.
Pretty sure this will just be lead to some crypto jokes cuz Rhys is DUMB!!!
Guys. I think Bruner house is who Randy was talking about.

Maybe, but you would expect their logo on the trailer, if that were the case.

Bruner House being involved has to be Randy's worst magic trick, man.
Bruh.

I only know a few as well, but off the top of my head none of them were writers or directors on Tales.
The tweet for those curious:
I want to die
Screenshots from the Steam Store page:
Well, the Bruner House website has a New TFTB video on its front page... fucking Hell
Connor Cleary is the Telltale writer who went to Gearbox. He worked on GOTG and Batman s2.
I learned this from YouTube comments months ago, of all places!
Tweet about Fiona and Sasha. I guess they aren't in this game.
That trailer...
All I see in this tweet is a bag of lies.

I don’t recall Telltale wanting to can Tales from the Borderlands. When was this?

Bruner approaching former staff for his new studio like
"Baby you gotta believe me, I'm different now, I'm a changed man! Just give me one more chance!"

Can we please just boycott that Star Trek game? The fanbase deserves a much better game than one made by a studio killer.
Definitely not based and howiepilled.
