Borderlands 2’s best DLC rereleased as a one-shot adventure

By

Gearbox and 2K have announced that Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, a DLC expansion for Borderlands 2, is now available to purchase as a stand-alone “one-shot” adventure ahead of the upcoming Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.

Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure is $10, the same price as the original DLC, and includes all of the original’s gameplay alongside new loot and cosmetics. Players will not need to own Borderlands 2 in order to play the title. The game is available to purchase for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility, as well as Steam. The game is also available on the Epic Games Store, where it will be free to claim until November 16.

Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep is the first time a Dungeons and Dragons-style campaign was featured in the Borderlands series and is the biggest inspiration for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. The story follows Tiny Tina’s Bunkers and Badasses game and features other members of the Borderlands 2 cast as she works to process the death of one of the game’s major characters.

The original DLC was lauded for its unique mechanics and unusually deep story, and received excellent reviews when it released, with some even calling it one of the best DLCs ever released for any game. Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure promises to keep all the chaos and feeling of the original while hyping players up for the release of Wonderlands.

Randy Pitchford, the executive producer on Assault on Dragon Keep, called it “one of the most important pieces of content Gearbox has ever imagined” in a press release. While Wonderlands looks to emulate and expand on the celebrated DLC with its style and storytelling, it’s undeniable that the game will have big shoes to fill due to Assault on Dragon Keep‘s enduring legacy.

Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure is available now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.

Gearbox and 2K revealed Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, a Borderlands spinoff adventure, at Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest on Thursday. The game features a star-studded cast, including Andy Samberg, Will Arnett, Wanda Sykes, and Ashley Burch, who will be reprising her Borderlands voice role of Tiny Tina.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a high-fantasy take on Borderlands that, according to Burch, should remind players of the Borderlands 2 DLC Assault on Dragon Keep. While the game will include elements and characters from past entries in the Borderlands franchise, it is a stand-alone title. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands' announcement shouldn't come as a huge surprise, as the game's existence was leaked recently.

3 PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (March 14-16)
The PC version of Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut.

The beginning of March was light in upcoming PS5 games, but the long-delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows is right around the corner. But we still have an entire weekend to fill before it comes out, which is where your PlayStation Plus subscription pays off. The Essential games for March were incredibly strong, but the back catalogue of Extra and Premium games has the perfect selection to get you excited for all the biggest upcoming video games, like Death Stranding 2. Or, it could be the perfect way to find a fun, bite-sized game to hold you over until next week's releases hit and dominate your time. As always, I have hand-selected only the best games in PlayStation Plus for you to play this weekend.
Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut
Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut - Announcement Trailer | PS5, PS4

Even before Shadows was announced, Ghost of Tsushima was touted as being the Japanese AC game that Ubisoft should have made years ago. While that is a reductive way to frame it, there's no denying there are similarities, and the two will be directly compared. Whether you plan on playing Shadows or not, Ghost is a magnificent game that still boasts some of the best graphics on PS5. Exploring the vibrant island of Tsushima as you follow the wind and animals rather than waypoints gives you a deep appreciation for the world you're fighting for. If you missed out on the Director's Cut content, jumping back in for the Iki Island DLC is perhaps the best part of the experience.
