Tiny Tina’s Wonderland looks like a Borderlands if it was Dungeons & Dragons
If you were ever looking for a game that combined the wacky cast of Borderlands with the most played tabletop game of all time, Dungeons and Dragons, then you’d probably end up playing something called Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. A game that, for all intents and purposes, sounds completely quirky and zany as Tiny Tina herself.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderland was first revealed back in June, and described itself as an “epic high-fantasy” take on the shooter looter genre that Borderlands has become so well-known for. However, as we were able to see in the latest gameplay trailer during the PlayStation Showcase, it looks as though this fantasy looter shooter might actually just be the setting of Tina’s latest Dungeons and Dragons game. And honestly? We’re kinda into it.
In a PlayStation blog about the game trailer, Creative Director Matt Cox talks readers through the gameplay trailer. “The trailer opens with Tiny Tina welcoming you to our new fantasy world amidst the threat of the Dragon Lord. Our tyrannical villain is obsessed with ruling all of the Wonderlands, and Tiny Tina is the disorderly guide leading you through as she sometimes changes the world on the fly,” Cox explains.
“The footage is packed with shots to pause and give a second look, including some of the epic settings you’ll get to play in, from majestic towns to mushroom forests, foreboding fortresses, and more. The world is a wild and slightly warped take on high fantasy, so we were able to completely let our imaginations run wild.” Cox continues. “You also catch glimpses of the Overworld about halfway through the trailer. This is, essentially, our interactive tabletop zone, which players can explore as they discover dynamic encounters and traverse between all key locations.”
Another thing that was revealed during the gameplay trailer is that players will be able to create their very own characters. This is particularly important in tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons, so it makes sense that Tiny Tina would allow this in her very own video game. Thanks Tina, you’re a real one!
Oh… and did we mention that you can multi-class, too? Yep, get excited!
Tiny Tina’s Wonderland releases worldwide on March 25, 2022 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 and PS5.
