Tiny Tina’s Wonderland 2 was found listed on a LinkedIn profile
Gearbox has been quiet about potential sequels for some of its major IPs. However, recent resumes suggest that Borderlands 4 may be in development. A Reddit user has noticed another mention of a new Borderlands title on a LinkedIn profile, but not only that, it mentions Tiny Tina’s Wonderland 2 as well. According to Randel R. on LinkedIn, he is a Senior Technical and Production Director who formerly worked at Sony and EA, lists Borderlands 4 and Tiny Tina’s Wonderland 2 as titles he worked on. If you look under the role of Studio Technical Director at Lost Boys Interactive (Gearbox Software) it lists many games including the two unannounced titles: Plan and engineer development on Borderlands 4 UE4, Tiny Tina’s Wonderland UE4, Brothers in Arms UE4, WWE2K23, Amazon’s New World, Elder Scroll Online, Tiny Tina’s Wonderland 2 UE4, Zombie Sim UE4, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox X(S). Whether it’s a type or not that remains to be seen, but it’s interesting that Borderland 4 has been mentioned numerous times. Do you think we could be getting trolled?

Warner Bros. shoots down live service reports for Wonder Woman game
Earlier this week it was reported that Wonder Woman could be a live service game from Warner Bros. and Monolith Productions due to a job listing. At first, that was believable since Warner Bros. stated in their recent financial call that they’d like to focus more on live service games. Well now according to the publisher that is not the plan for Wonder Woman based on the statement they sent to IGN: “Wonder Woman is a single-player action-adventure game set in a dynamic open-world. This third person experience will allow players to become Diana of Themyscira and introduce an original story set in the DC Universe, while also featuring the Nemesis System. Wonder Woman is not being designed as a live service,” a Warner Bros. spokesperson said.” The new Wonder Woman game remains in development as it was first announced during The Game Awards in 2021. A release date hasn’t been announced yet either for the game. Thanks to Reddit for sharing this news.

On the show, Grubb said the following: “This game is not being worked on right now, full stop,” Grubb said. “This game is not being worked on in any way, at any studio.” He also mentions Sony and Lucas Film/Disney as potential options to take over this project that hasn’t gotten done.

Review – Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2
Developer – Fair Play Labs Publisher – GameMill Entertainment Platforms – Xbox One, Xbox Series X (Reviewed), PS4/PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC Review copy given by Publisher GameMill Entertainment and Fair Play Labs are here with the sequel of the rising platform fighting game series, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. The game brings back familiar fighters and introduces new fan-favorite Nickelodeon characters while also erasing some from its past. In All-Star Brawl 2 there are new features such as a brand-new Campaign to play through that provides more gameplay time outside of multiplayer and its single-player mode. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 features a diverse cast of characters for players to choose from, including returning favorites such as Aang, Nigel, Spongebob, Lucy Loud, Reptar, and Danny Phantom, as well as new characters such as Gerald, Jimmy Neutron, Squidward, Grandma Gertie, and Ember from the popular show Danny Phantom. It would have been great to see new characters added to the sequel while still featuring the beloved characters from the first game, since the original felt too short-lived. The platform brawler offers a wide range of stages, catering to both casual and competitive players. Each character has a stage related to their show. For example, Jimmy Neutron’s stage takes place in his lab. If you’re a ranked player you’ll see far fewer maps to choose from, but that’s expected when it comes to platform fighters. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 excels at catering to the casual community who enjoy playing in a party style and having a great time with friends. The game features a lot of items that reference popular Nick shows, like the exploding Pie Bomb from a beloved SpongeBob episode, or Arnold’s Boombox which also blows up after a few seconds. We believed that the original All-Star Brawl may have been overly competitive, turning off new players. However, the sequel is much more inclusive and welcomes players of all skill levels. To enhance the gaming experience, the game now features a Campaign and Single Player mode which offers additional content to enjoy beyond the usual online and offline battles. If you want to improve your gameplay skills, I recommend starting with either the Single Player or Campaign modes as they provide great starting points and allow you to select the level of difficulty to test yourself. The Single Player mode includes Arcade, which allows you to fight against CPU opponents. As you progress, you’ll come across various minigames in the form of a ladder. Boss Rush is another mode that involves fighting against all the bosses you’ll encounter in the Campaign, but this time it’s one after another. The Minigames section includes two different modes where you aim to reach a high score in either Pop the Slime Balloons or Whack-A-Bot. It’s great to have options, and the Campaign mode in the game reminds me of playing Super Smash Bros. In the game, you can unlock new fighters by defeating them in a fight. The gameplay has greatly improved, making it much more enjoyable for everyone. There’s an indescribable satisfaction when landing the perfect combo. The movement around stages, whether it’s jumping, running, or sliding, has never felt better. I would recommend this game to anyone looking for a new platform fighting game and it should be a worthy member of the Fighting Game Community. Overall, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 has enjoyable gameplay for a fighting game and addresses the issues of its predecessor. It is a worthwhile addition to the fighting game genre. We would have preferred if all characters from the first game were included in the sequel, as it ended quickly.
