Growth photographs for a Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands sequel and a brand new Brothers in Arms sport have emerged on-line, amid studies each have been scrapped.
MP1st, which revealed the work-in-progress photographs, mentioned the video games have been in growth at former Embracer-owned studio Misplaced Boys Interactive, which returned to independence final yr. Embracer offered Gearbox to 2K Games father or mother firm Take-Two in 2024.
Misplaced Boys Interactive labored on the unique Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, a fantasy-themed spinoff of Gearbox’s vastly profitable Borderlands franchise, in addition to Borderlands 4, so it’s not an enormous shock to see proof that it labored on the sequel.
Certainly, it was thought that Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands did so properly commercially {that a} sequel was inevitable. In 2022, Gearbox chief Randy Pitchford known as Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands a “main victory,” including that the developer seen it as a brand new franchise with “future experiences already underneath growth.”
“Wonderlands shattered all of our goal expectations, each critically and commercially,” mentioned Pitchford throughout an Embracer Group annual normal assembly, “and I am thrilled to report that in addition to nice monetary rewards from this victory that will likely be coming our method in the approaching quarters, we’ve established a agency beachhead, and we now clearly have a brand new franchise on our palms.”
Nonetheless, since then, nothing has emerged on a brand new Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands sport. Gearbox has but to announce its subsequent undertaking following final yr’s launch of Borderlands 4.
In the meantime, the final mainline Brothers in Arms sport was 2008’s Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Freeway. A fourth sport in the WW2 shooter collection, Livid 4, was cancelled and ultimately changed into ill-fated hero shooter Battleborn. Pitchford has over time indicated {that a} new Brothers in Arms sport was on the way in which, nevertheless it by no means materialised.
The launched photographs don’t actually inform us a lot concerning the video games themselves, aside from they have been in growth. Had been they canceled as a part of Gearbox’s sale to Take-Two? Are there new variations of every sport in the works someplace at Gearbox? IGN has requested for remark.
