There are games that make a lot of noise well before their release and others a little less, Tiny Tina’s Wonderland is in the second category. Still, it could be called Borderlands 3.5. Release date, PC config, coop and split screen, we summarize everything for you.
[Mis à jour le 21 mars 2022 à 17h47] Borderlands is back. Well not quite, 2K Games and Gearbox have this time decided to make a significant shift with the release of Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. This new looter-shooter still takes up the aesthetics, gameplay and universe of Borderlands but capitalizes on one of Borderlands 2’s most beloved DLCs: Tiny Tina and the Dragon Fortress. Concretely, the game has swapped its Mad Max universe of space for a more crazy Dungeons and Dragons side from the imagination of little Tina. A board game within the game that takes us on new adventures, offering a refreshing formula after a fairly average Borderlands 3. Lovers of looter-shooters wake up because Tina Tina’s Wonderland is coming out in a few days, the opportunity for us to take a tour of its gameplay and its features.

Gameplay
We told you in the introduction, Tiny Tina’s Wonderland is a Borderlands-style looter-shooter. You embody characters straight from the imagination of the little girl, from the hands of destiny, as part of a Dungeon and Dragon role-playing game. Except that for you, the monsters are very real. This game-within-a-game offers us a narrative on par with the first titles in the franchise, adding a pinch of heroic fantasy to the detriment of the Mad-Max space side of previous Borderlands, a breath of fresh air after a quite Borderlands 3 Medium. Moreover, this new game also introduces new mechanics, we find the million weapons available, and the usual shields, but we can also find rings that can strengthen certain skills. The skill trees and classes are also completely new, as well as the elemental damage of black magic. There is also a lot more magic which offers a little more variety to the fights.
Because you have to understand that Tina’s Wonderland intends to dive head first into the popular fantasy RPG genre. That is to say that it will both respect the respected looter-shooter formula of the Borderlands series, but by fully integrating heroic-fantasy RPG elements. We will therefore find a character creation menu, six classes, spells, dungeons and everything that is the traditional prerogative of more traditional RPGs. For the first time in the Boderlands universe, the player will be able to create his character in detail, shaping his face from toe to nose, thanks to a customization on which 2K Games and Gearbox seem to have put the package. On the skill tree side too, since your character will be able to build his own active and passive skills, in particular thanks to the multiclass system which allows you to adopt a second archetype a little later in your game. A combination of both classic and original ideas, which seem to make this release an event not to be missed in the world of video games.
Split-screen co-op mode?
If there’s one thing that Borderlands games really know how to master, it’s co-op play. Tiny Tina’s Wonderland is no exception, delivering a unique adventure through two co-op modes; the coopetition mode where the players share the loot and where the enemies are of the level of the group leader, and the classic cooperation mode where everyone benefits from their own loot and where the enemies are of the level of the low average of the group. Also, you should know that Tiny Tina’s Wonderland will indeed offer a split-screen game, but only on consoles. It will accommodate two players on PS4 and Xbox One and up to four players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
