Gearbox writer might have revealed the title of the next Borderlands 2 DLC

Borderlands 2 writer Anthony Burch tweeted an image this morning that seems to have inadvertently revealed the title of the irreverent cooperative shooter’s next DLC expansion. A poster for something called “Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep” can be seen in the background of a photo of Gearbox’s Steve Gibson sleeping adorably on a couch in what is presumably the Borderlands developer’s offices. It is the first time that title has appeared anywhere, and Burch’s tweet, spotted by Stealthy Box (via neoGAF), was promptly deleted.

Gearbox teased a new Borderlands 2 expansion at PAX East last month with a video depicting Tiny Tina playing a fictional Dungeons & Dragons-like game called Bunkers & Badasses with the other Borderlands characters. Given the content of that video, “Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep” seems as likely a name for the new DLC as any. This morning’s inadvertent tweet leaves little doubt.

Tiny Tina, notably voiced by Burch’s little sister, Ashly, is a rambunctious tween who in Borderlands 2 engages in such wholesome activities as blowing up trains and kidnapping sociopathic bandits. If “Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep” really is the next Borderlands 2 expansion, it will be the fourth after Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty, Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage, and Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt.

You can use the site to see how long it takes to complete the main story of a game or even how much time it'll take to go for 100% completion. How Long To Beat has turned that feature into a creative game that's surprisingly fun.

GTA 6: release date speculation, trailer, gameplay, and more
Lucia and her partner rob a store in GTA 6.

Believe it or not, it has been over a decade since the last GTA game. While tons of people are still dumping hundreds of hours into GTA Online, everyone has been (not so) patiently waiting for Rockstar to finally confirm that a new entry is in the works. Despite many leaks and rumors, the team held strong until late 2023. Now that the game is finally confirmed, we have a lot more solid ground to cover in terms of what Grand Theft Auto 6 will be. This is going to be the biggest game of the generation, if not all time, so let's hotwire a car and pull off a heist to get all the information about GTA 6 there is.
GTA 6 release date speculation

Along with the official announcement trailer for GTA 6, we got a release window for the game. While it is a little disappointing, we won't be exploring the next open-world phenomenon until sometime in 2025.

Is Rust cross-platform?
A player firing an assault rifle in Rust

Rust is one of the unique gaming experiences out there -- you wake up naked on a beach, scavenge for tools, build a home for yourself and your friends, and then watch that base be pummeled by rockets as another group of players destroys everything you've worked so hard for. One of the most popular survival games on the market, Rust is a brutal game, and playing it with friends makes the ups and downs of a server lifecycle bearable.

If you're looking to jump onto a Rust server with a buddy, you'll want to come prepared. Here's what you need to know about crossplay and Rust.
Is Rust cross-platform?
Rust is available on most major gaming platforms, but it isn't entirely cross-platform. Players on consoles -- PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One -- are able to play with each other, but PC players are in a completely separate world.
