Gearbox is finally revealing some details about whatTiny Tiny’s Wonderlandsplayers will be doing once they complete the main story. This started withthe reveal of Chaos Chambers, a game mode focused on variety. However, it seems like the DLC offerings for the spin-off will end up having a similar focus, and this comes with its own pros and cons.
Instead ofTiny Tina’s Wonderlandsfollowing in the footsteps of the mainlineBorderlandsgames, which featured Season Passes with four major expansions, players will be entering into different Mirrors of Mystery. Based on how this content is described, it should be thrilling for those who care most about theBorderlandsfranchise’s gameplay. However, for those that prefer the old style of character-focused expansions with their own story campaigns, the Season Pass may be disappointing.

How Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands’ Season Pass Content is Different
LikeotherBorderlandsSeason Passes, there will be four different content drops forTiny Tina’s Wonderlands- with the first coming on April 21. Each drop will add a Mirror of Mystery to explore, which are run by a Fortune Teller named Vesper. Vesper will be the source of the DLC’s limited storytelling, as her narration will reveal the backstories of the Mirror’s boss – with a nice touch seeing Vesper provide more details when players return to a Mirror of Mystery.
Each Mirror of Mystery will feature a boss that gets stronger every week, with players unlocking access to the stronger version by defeating its first form. This could pushTiny Tina’s Wonderlandsfans to make their builds as good as they can possibly be,using the Chaos Chambers to get better loot. Speaking of the Chaos Chamber, the bosses seen inTiny Tina’s Wonderlands’ Mirrors of Mystery will be added to the mode’s lineup, as will the levels players explore inside the Mirrors. This should add a bit more variety to the Chaos Chambers, which is a big upside to the DLC.
The Mirrors of Mystery, which can each be purchased individually or all at once through the Season Pass, will provide players with Lost Souls. These Souls can be used to spin Vesper’s Wheel of Fate, a machine that providesLegendary itemsthat include gear, weapons, and cosmetics. With bosses that get stronger over time and another good source for the game’s rarest loot, the Mirrors of Mystery content sounds like something players will consistently be returning to as opposed to something they only play once or twice.
The Season Pass will also include a seventh class and a cosmetic pack. No details have been revealed about the newTiny Tina’s Wonderlandsclassthus far, though it will drop with the fourth Mirror of Mystery. As for the cosmetic pack, it is themed around Queen Butt Stallion, featuring Diamond Armor Presets, Crystal Glitter Makeup, an Adamant Throne Banner Set, and Diamond Hero Statue Material.
From a gameplay perspective, this content sounds excellent, as it seems more replayable thanBorderlands’ usual DLC. However, those that prefer the old style could certainly end up being disappointed. While Vesper narrating within the Mirrors is a nice touch that will give random bosses depth, it will be hard not to miss themed expansions likeBounty of Blood. For those that are attached toBorderlandsfor its characters, and were hoping to see four major expansions with 6-10 hours of unique content, the Season Pass could be a bit of a letdown. Still, with it looking like a perfect fit for those who want more endgame content, it will be interesting to see how the community responds.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandsis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
