Released in 2022, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands exceeded Take-Two’s expectations, as publisher head Strauss Zelnick previously said. According to him, she showed “best new franchise launch” over the past few years, and at the same time Zelnick hinted at plans for a Borderlands spin-off sequel. Today, mp1st reported that its development has been cancelled.
In 2023, the profile of a GearBox employee revealed that he was developing Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Now the publication mp1st, citing its sources, said that this project has been canceled or suspended for a long time. This comes amid large-scale layoffs at Lost Boys Interactive, the studio that helped create the first Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.
Journalists examined the profiles of several employees who could potentially work on the sequel to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, and found that they mentioned the canceled sequel to the game on Unreal Engine 4. Also, artist Bemin Jackson noted the game “Tiny Tina 2” as “unpublished” in his ArtStation profile, which could be interpreted as a canceled project.
Let’s remember that 2K recently confirmed that Borderlands 4 will be released next year, and also showed the first full trailer for the project.
