Developer Gearbox's Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was a wildly successful release, so a sequel made sense. According to a new report, however, that unannounced project has either been indefinitely delayed or cancelled, with internal resources allocated to completing Borderlands 4 instead.
MP1st cites sources within Gearbox and claims the unannounced Tina sequel was cancelled in recent months. The outlet makes its case fairly convincingly, delving into LinkedIn and ArtStation posts, reporting that the game initially underwent a soft reboot following Gearbox's acquisition by Take-Two. In this way, Gearbox was freed from the clutches of the Embracer Group earlier in 2024 and purchased for a song.
Of course, the industry is the way it is. Lost Boys Interactive (owned by Gearbox), the studio responsible for Tiny Tina, has suffered two major rounds of layoffs this year alone. With the focus shifting to Borderlands 4, which Gearbox claims will be its most ambitious undertaking yet, we could see putting another Wonderlands game on the back burner for a while.

Tina Tina. Sad if people were wanting more
So a game that was never confirmed to be in the works has been cancelled.
…okay.
It was OK, but too small for a Borderlands type game (especially since they charged full price). I’d rather they focus on knocking Borderlands 4 out of the park.
My interest now is in having a great BL4. I very much hope Tina is in it somewhere, maybe her own dlc like in BL2. Tina as a playable vault hunter could be interesting. From the initial lineup we have been shown I would be happy to see Tina replace the weird looking female playable character with the big hair and glasses.
The big guy with the beard and silly gear/outfit I also desire to see replaced. If not replaced maybe two added playable characters could be added in the first dlc.
I managed to get through BL3 but couldn't do the same with the Tiny Tina game. Maybe if I played through it on mute.
@ATaco Mute certainly worked for me with 3.
I would love a sequal, but if we were to ever get a sequal, after bl4 makes the most sense. But base game, one of the best in the series
@NoCode23 that’s a good idea. but then every online co-op lobby would just be tina’s
@MasterChiefWiggum the trailer looked promising even if the vault hunters didn’t look as cool
1 was enough. We dont need another hero. Oh wait, that was Tina Turner.
I love Borderlands. Perfect for a middle-aged guy who likes exploring and shooting but stays nice and simple. Not sure why but couldn’t get into Tiny Tinas even though I like the character. I’ll get BL4 although the trailer was very underwhelming.
It's too bad. I enjoyed Tina Tina quite a bit. While it didn't jump too far from BG3 style, it did have a few unique twists. It also had a few chuckling D&D references.
Odd considering Randy Pitchford himself said Wonderlands sales were, "Wildly Successful" and "Bigger than Borderlands", yet here we are where a sequel is being delayed indefinitely lol. I don't trust anything from that studio, nor Randy Pitchford anymore.
Hot take, but that's probably for the best.
The character creator was terrible in that game. It was the first time i ever had that none of the options looked nice.
Thank god. It's the only Borderlands game I couldn't bring myself to finish. How they managed to make it even more egregiously grating than B3, I'll never know.
Wonderland was the only game by gearbox I could play. Once you got into the meat of the game is was great fun. Can't stand any of the Borderlands games at all, they were written by people who had heard the concept of humour, but clearly hadn't understood it.
I just hope I'll never hear Ashley Burch in a video game again.
I'm playing it now and am enjoying it. I like the tweaks it made to the formula. It's not revolutionary, but it's real solid. I'm enjoying it more than 3, that's for sure.
All I want from 4 (all of I've wanted since 2), is for a Borderlands game to have a TRUE endgame. I never enjoy replaying story mode. Ever. Especially in such a large game.
They need to have a robust, dynamic, repeatable gameplay system/mechanic that gives it an endgame like Diablo, Division, Destiny, or other ARPGs. I would Borderlands games waaaaaaay longer if there was actually stuff to do after the credits rolled. I absolutely loathe that all they really do is give you New Game+.
Let us loose in the world, generate dynamic missions and world events, let us rerun missions/bosses, and create some unique stuff to do only in endgame. But, for the love of GOD, do not force us to replay the story repeatedly. It's so so boring.
This is my personal take: Tiny Tina is the most annoying character in Borderlands. If this was intended, Gearbox nailed it 100% since I can't stand hearing her voice and seeing her face anywhere now.
I was really looking forward to this!
That sucks because I really prefer creating my own character. Don't like the story and humor for either of the games but at least liked the d&d references. Borderlands games I grab for free. Tiny Tina's I actually bought. I just don't want to play their pre-made characters.
