by

Summary

  • An inside source claims that the rumored sequel to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands has been canceled.
  • The sequel hasn’t been officially announced by Gearbox, but several staff members on the project have hinted at its cancelation.
  • Borderlands 4 will be released in 2025.

As a dedicated fan who has spent countless hours traversing the vibrant worlds of the Borderlands franchise, I must admit that the latest rumors surrounding Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands have left me feeling rather bewildered and somewhat deflated. The idea of another adventure in Tina’s fantastical realm was a beacon of hope amidst the seemingly endless wait for Borderlands 4.

As a passionate gamer, I was eagerly anticipating the rumored sequel to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, especially since there hadn’t been any official word from Gearbox about another title in the Borderlands spinoff series. However, recent updates on the potential sequel to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands seem to suggest that it might have been canceled, which is a real bummer for fans like me who were looking forward to diving back into that magical world.

Initially, the action-shooter game modeled after Dungeons and Dragons, known as “Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands,” initially debuted as downloadable content (DLC) for Borderlands 2. However, it garnered so much success that it eventually became a standalone game in the year 2022. As was the case with its DLC predecessor, fans were pleasantly surprised by its reception. The CEO of Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, even hinted at additional content for this game in the future. Although many anticipated a sequel based on his comments, it now seems that players may not receive one for some time.

According to gaming news publication MP1st, there are indications suggesting that the second installment of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands might have been canceled. Evidence includes an artist from Lost Boys Interactive, a Gearbox subsidiary, listing the game as “unpublished” on his ArtStation profile, which could imply it may never be released. Additionally, another employee has a canceled unannounced project listed on their LinkedIn profile, possibly referring to the sequel of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Previously, job listings had hinted at the development of a sequel, so these recent changes don’t seem promising for fans of the Borderlands series.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Studio Has Grappled With Layoffs

It’s important to mention that, in early 2024, Lost Boys Interactive experienced layoffs and Gearbox followed suit post-acquisition by Take-Two Interactive, leading to a significant number of employees departing the company. This mass exodus might explain why a potential cancellation of a sequel to a spinoff game seems plausible. Since there’s no confirmed information about Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands 2, any rumors regarding the game or its possible cancellation are purely speculative at this stage.

Despite being sad about the possible absence of a new Wonderlands installment, enthusiasts of the Borderlands series still have fresh games to anticipate. A recently released trailer indicates that Borderlands 4 is set for release in 2025, and initial sneak peeks at its gameplay and villain have left many franchise fans hopeful. Though it’s possible that Gearbox might revisit Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands in the future, through a sequel or additional DLC, for now, players will need to focus on the original version and find their looter shooter fun from the upcoming main series game.
