Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands gets a release date and wild gameplay trailer

Today’s PlayStation Showcase took a closer look at the upcoming Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. A new trailer examined the game’s combat, characters, and enemies in more detail and provided a release date. Players will be able to use new magical attacks and techniques to fight enemies and acquire loot in the midst of the role-playing game. As was revealed at the end of the trailer, Wonderlands will release on March 25, 2022.

The game, which takes heavy inspiration from the Borderlands 2 DLC Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, was originally revealed at E3. While this spinoff will keep the same core mechanics as the Borderlands series — shoot enemies with guns and gun-adjacent weapons and find increasingly high-quality loot — it appears as though Wonderlands is bringing back the magic aspects from Assault on Dragon Keep.

The trailer shows off new weapons, like crossbow-style guns, and spells that the player can cast. Also featured were the worlds that the player will be traveling through, including a snowy land with a large skull-shaped building and a valley with a river full of soda.

It looks like Wonderlands won’t be bringing back any of the series’ previous playable characters. A few returning NPCs were shown, like Mr. Torgue, but the cast of playable characters looks completely new. Their names and stories weren’t revealed, but they’re part of Tina’s mad game of Bunkers & Badasses, so they’re likely to be more of the crude, wise-cracking Borderlands characters that fans have come to know and love.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands will release on March 25, 2022.

PS Plus subscribers can get PS4’s most underrated exclusive for free next month

Sony announced the three-game lineup that PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers can redeem for free throughout the month of August. It's an odd batch of titles that includes a sports game, one of 2021's best indies, and a user-generated, content-focused PS4 exclusive that never got the love it deserved.

Specifically, those three games are PGA Tour 2K23, Death's Door, and Dreams.

You can get NBA 2K23 and more with PS Plus this June

The three games that make up PlayStation Plus Essential's June lineup have been revealed. There are any major console exclusives or no releases included; instead, there's NBA 2K23, a Jurassic Park tie-in title, and an indie game inspired by classic samurai films.

NBA 2K23 needs little introduction, as it's the latest entry in 2K's long-running, annualized basketball video game series. This latest entry stands out from the ones that came before by deepening the controls an AI further, as well as adding a Jordan Challenge mode that chronicles Michael Jordan's career. Beware of some pretty intrusive microtransactions, though. 
Also available this month is Jurassic World Evolution 2, a theme park management game that swaps out roller coasters and other festivities for dinosaur-related attractions. The management genre is a surprisingly great fit for the Jurassic Park IP, and this game even provides a bit of story context to fill in the gap between Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World Dominion.
Finally, there's Trek to Yomi, a very cinematic indie game. It's stylized like a classic black-and-white samurai action movie, which makes sense as it's telling a revenge story about a pupil trying to avenge their dying master. If you didn't play this game through Game Pass, it's now available on a Sony subscription service as well.
This certainly isn't the most exciting game lineup, but it still provides a wide variety of gaming experiences. NBA 2K23, Jurassic World Evolution 2, and Trek to Yomi will be available through PlayStation Plus from June 6 until July 3. Make sure you download May's PS Plus games before then too.
