[Mis à jour le 16 mars 2022 à 15h11] 2K Games promises us a start to the year 2022 rich in colors and with a touch of madness. A little ? Not a huge grain of madness. Welcome to the crazy world of Tiny Tina’s Wonderland! This wacky world straight from the imagination of Tiny Tina, a character we meet in the excellent Borderlands 2, and in which we first dipped in 2013 in the extension of Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina and the Dragon Fortress. Except that this time, we stay there, and for a complete adventure! Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands will follow the typical formula of Borderlands games, shoot everything that moves, meet crazy characters and loot as much as possible. All in co-op for up to four players. On the occasion of its release in a few days, we summarize everything you need to know about it, from its history to its gameplay, through the recommended PC configuration and the possibilities of split screen.

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.
What is the release date for Tiny Tina’s Wonderland?
Tiny Tina’s Wonderland will be released on March 25 at 00:00 French time, directly on PC via the Epic Games Store, Xbox Series and Playsation 5. Last-gen console owners are not left out since the game will also be released on Playstation 4 and Xbox One. It can already be pre-ordered in its three different versions: the Standard Edition, the Marvelous Chaos Edition or the Next-Level Edition.
