The evolution of Borderlands seen through concept art and script excerpts

By Adam Rosenberg Published August 30, 2013

By now you’ve read all about our visit to Gearbox Software’s Texas offices. The upcoming DLC offerings and subsequent hands-on time with said DLC. The elaborate process that led to the creation of the story add-ons for Borderlands 2, and the equally elaborate process that led to the creation of character add-ons for Borderlands 2. It’s been a fun week, and we’ve still got a little bit more to share. Cast your eyes upward to see what bits of Borderlands and Borderlands 2 looked like behind the scenes, in the eyes of the artists. It’s rare to get a peek into the process. Look closely, and you’ll definitely catch a few things that you might not have expected or known about.

Want more? We’ve also got a sampling of script excerpts for you to take a peek at, complete with notes from Borderlands 2 lead writer Anthony Burch. You can grab those PDFs here, here, and here (just right-click and choose “Save As”).

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is Borderlands and not Borderlands

The player fights a mechanical dragon spewing hot flame.

I still remember where I was when the Borderlands 3 trailer dropped. Fresh off my third or fourth replay of Borderlands 2 and its (literally) magical DLC, Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, I watched the trailer in my college dorm room while on the phone with my friends. When the premiere finished, we all sat grinning ear to ear, babbling on about whether the next numbered entry in the franchise could live up to its lofty predecessor. Unfortunately, it didn't.

With Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Gearbox has gone in a different direction. The game takes its cues from Assault on Dragon Keep, one of the most critically acclaimed DLCs of all time, and dramatically expands its scope and ideas into an entirely new package. Beyond the usual endless array of guns and loot, Wonderlands introduces RPG-style stats and classes to the franchise, making for a deeper -- if more complex -- experience.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands will have RPG-like multiclassing

Gearbox and 2K have revealed two more character classes and information about multiclass potential in the upcoming Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. In a new gameplay trailer, the companies showed off the Graveborn and the Spore Warden, bringing the number of potential classes in the game to six. The trailer also revealed "multiclassing" will be possible in Wonderlands: By combining two classes and their traits and abilities, players can create hybrid classes and have access to more abilities and traits than ever.
