According to Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was indeed a huge success and the initial response was even better than that for Borderlands, leading to speculation that it could become a series in its own right.
Pitchford explained the issue during the San Diego Comic-Con, reporting that the Dungeons & Dragons-style spin-off of the Borderlands series has been really well received by the public, although he did not provide specific data on this matter.
According to Gearbox CEO, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a “huge win” that has exceeded all internal predictions, with an initial response even better than that received by Borderlands itself.
It could be the start of a new series
“What we’ve demonstrated with Wonderlands is that we’ve built something important,” Pitchford explained.
“It was a huge success and exceeded our expectations.”
All this obviously leads one to think that the title in question could be only the beginning of a new series, even if it is not certain that it will continue with the same style and setting.
“We had a bigger result with the first Wonderlands than we did with Borderlands, so it’s definitely something we can build on,” the CEO said, clearly implying that there could be a franchise starting behind the project.
Practically the same statements had already been made in September 2022, in fact, when Pitchford had spoken of a “big win” for Gearbox, but since then there has been no information on any sequels.
