Borderlands 3 studio CEO Randy Pitchford wishedGearboxcould have made “big campaign DLC” for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, but says the dev couldn’t spare the resources fromBorderlands 4.
In a tweet last week, Pitchford responded to claims that Wonderlands had flopped. While the original message referred more to endgame support for the franchise spin-off than its sales, Pitchford said that the latter was solid, and that “Wonderlands was extremely far from a flop.”
The lack of post-launch support for Wonderlands, however, seems to weigh relatively heavy on Pitchford’s shoulders, as he goes on to say that “I wish we could’ve managed some big campaign DLC, but [there was] no way to do that and put the focus on Borderlands 4 that we needed to.”
