Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Gearbox Software's 2022 standalone spin-off from its tentpole Borderlands series, was by most measures a success upon its initial release. With its origins in the highly popular Assault on Dragon Keep DLC for Borderlands 2, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is framed as a giant game of "Bunkers and Badasses," the Borderlands in-universe equivalent of Dungeons and Dragons. The DLC and its full-length followup took the established elements of the sci-fi looter-shooter and leaned into their meta-twists on them, dropping players into a classic fantasy-inspired world wrapped up in an emotional narrative that connected to the events of the main games.
