Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Feels Like More Borderlands 3

Developer Gearbox is taking a bit of a detour from the exploits of Borderlands’ vault hunters with its next game, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons-influenced Tiny Tina’s Assault On Dragon Keep, Wonderlands is aimed at bringing a more tabletop RPG-like experience to Borderlands’ loot shooter formula.

Wonderlands sees you dive into Tiny Tina’s latest Bunkers & Badasses campaign.
