Tiny
Tina’s
Wonderlands was
described
by
publisher
Take-Two
as
having
“exceeded
expectations”
which
lead
to
developer
Gearbox
stating
that
is
was
“clearly
a
new
franchise
after
shattering
targets.”
And
yet
despite
this,
a
new
report
claims
that
the
sequel
has
been
cancelled.

The
report
comes
from
MP1ST
who
cites
a
“source
who
has
knowledge
of
the
situation.”
According
to
this
anonymous
source,
 Tiny
Tina’s
Wonderlands
2
was
“cancelled
in
recent
months”.

This
information
does
lineup
with
the
fact
that
the
game’s
developer,
Lost
Boys
Interactive,
was
hit
by
layoffs
in
both
January
and
September
of
this
year.
It’s
not
know
how
many
staff
were
laid
off
in
January,

but
we
do
know
that
in
September
139
members
of
the
team
lost
their
jobs.

Those
losses
came
due
to
still
being
part
of
the
beleaguered
Embracer
group.
Lost
Boys
Interactive
was
bought
by
Gearbox
in
2022,
which
in
turn
had
been
purchased
by
Embracer
in
2021.
As
part
of
its
ongoing
attempts
to
save
itself
from
destruction,

Embracer
then
sold
Gearbox
back
to
Take-Two
earlier
this
year,
but
in
a
somewhat
surprising
move
Lost
Boys
Interactive
was
not
part
of
the
deal
and
instead
stayed
with
Embracer.

Thus
the
fate
of
a
Tiny
Tina’s
Wonderlands
sequel
was
already
a
little
iffy.
However,
a
mention
in
a
developer
profile
indicated
that
a
sequel
was
being
made.

Further
proof
came
from
a
report
by
Kotaku
in
February
of
this
year
when
news
first
began
to
break
that
Gearbox
might
be
getting
sold
by
Embracer.
According
to
Kotaku,
“a
sequel
to Tiny
Tina’s
Wonderlands underwent
a
soft
reboot,”
but
that
the
project
was
“promising
and
progressing
very
well.”

Gearbox
does
still
own
the
rights
to
Tiny
Tina’s
Wonderlands,
so
while
Lost
Boys
Interactive
may
not
be
working
on
it
anymore,
it’s
still
possible
a
sequel
could
come
from
Gearbox
themselves.
That
would
probably
be
a
while
down
the
line
though,
because
Gearbox
is

obviously
focusing
on
its
recently
revealed
Borderlands
4.

Personally,
I
rather
liked
Tiny
Tina”s
Wonderlands.

Hell,
I
actually
ranked
it
as
the
3rd
best
game
in
the
franchise,
so
I’m
a
little
sad
we
might
not
get
a
follow-up,
although
I’m
not
really
sure
it
needs
one.
I’m
more
sorry
for
Lost
Boys
Interactive,
because
of
this
story
is
true
then
they’ve
had
a
crazy
few
years,
from
the
highs
of
launching
the
game
to
being
bought
by
Gearbox,
to
the
lows
of
being
left
behind
at
Embracer
and
suffering
layoffs,
and
now
potentially
having
their
game
cancelled.
