Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep was one of the most popular expansions for Borderlands 2, offering up a high-fantasy tabletop RPG setting with a wonderful story about loss and grief. And dragons. In many ways it's the precursor to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, the spin-off due for release next year. And now it's back in Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure form.

Available now for PS4 and Xbox One (with backwards compatibility on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5) as a standalone purchase for $14.95 AUD it's also free via the Epic Games Store on PC until November 16. It's also available on Steam.

As per the trailer below, the 2013 release still looks wonderful -- which we can chalk up to Borderlands 2 ageing like a fine wine.


Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure features the ever-popular Tiny Tina in her inaugural story as she takes on the role of Bunker Master in a thrilling game of “Bunkers and Badasses.” Players can join her in a world born from her imagination, entering an epic quest of revenge and redemption, and diving into dynamic and fantastical settings filled with castles, dungeons, and magic forests.

"Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon’s Keep is one of the most important pieces of content Gearbox has ever imagined," said Randy Pitchford, Executive Producer on Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep. "With the original Dragon’s Keep, not only did we introduce an entirely new genre into the critically acclaimed Borderlands series, we created and developed some of Gearbox’s most impressive gameplay and storytelling. I am thrilled for Tiny Tina's original adventure to be readily available for a new generation of players, and also for long-time fans to come back to where the story started and once-again experience the magic that inspired Wonderlands.”

With the revelation that Borderlands 3's PC release would be an Epic Games Store exclusive for six-months, the reaction was not exactly celebratory. Like with Metro Exodus and other titles making deals with Epic's storefront, many took their frustrations out on previous entries via posting negative user reviews on Steam. A practice that we've seen far too much of lately, and one that Valve is now actively monitoring.

With the recent spike of negative Borderlands 2 reviews on PC categorised as "off-topic reviews".

With over 4,000 user reviews not counting towards Borderlands 2's overall rating - which remains "Overwhelmingly Positive". Because, well, it's still a classic. And it's great to see Valve implementing this feature, which doesn't outright delete these reviews - but classify them accordingly.

On December 14, Borderlands 2 VR is set to make its VR debut on PlayStation VR - rebuilt with VR-specific mechanics, controls, and skills. Apparently this version of the game has been in the works since the Handsome Collection of Borderlands games made its way to PS4 back in 2016.

One of the big additions to Borderlands 2 VR is the introduction of bullet-time, or slow-motion in the form of "BAMF Time" (or "BadAss Mega Fun Time"). Once activated it will facilitate a more VR friendly version of combat with the added bonus of being able to dodge bullets and pull of head-shots with ease. A key part of Borderlands 2 VR, all character skills have been redesigned to factor in the new mechanic.

But really though, we just hope that Claptrap is fully aware of the switch to VR - and has a few things to say about it.

    Co-op loot-filed FPS Borderlands 2 has been offered a home on Sony's PlayStation Vita developer 2K Games has officially revealed, taking to their blog to announce the good news that players can expect the four player mayhem sometime during 2014.
    I watched as Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software, stood on stage at the Rezzed show in the UK a year ago and told fans that, with Sony’s support, he’d love to see Borderlands 2 on the PS Vita. For the last year, Gearbox Software, 2K, and Sony have been inundated with emails, tweets, forum posts and more from passionate gamers across the world pleading for a PS Vita version of Borderlands 2. You spoke, we listened, and with the wonderful collaboration between 2K, Sony and the team at Iron Galaxy Studios – makers of indie fighting game Divekick – we can finally make Borderlands 2 on the Vita a reality!

    For those of you new to the critically acclaimed shooting-and-looting mayhem of Borderlands 2, which won more than 55 editorial awards in 2012, you’ll be picking from four uniquely-skilled Vault Hunters – Axton the Commando, Maya the Siren, Salvador the Gunzerker and Zer0 the Assassin – and then gunzerking your way through the world of Pandora in an attempt to defeat the corrupt Hyperion Corporation, led by the notorious Handsome Jack. Throughout these adventures, you will encounter a variety of distinctive, colorful characters including the explosive Tiny Tina, the (ex-)wife-of-many Mad Moxxi, and the friendly and energetic robotic companion CL4P-TP – you can call him Claptrap for short. That’s what his friends call him – or would, if he had any friends in the first place.
    Product manager Adam Fletcher revealed that players on the Vita can expect Borderlands 2 to offer the ability to play the game anywhere they want, complete with of all the unique benefits of the Vita, and will truly bring the four-player cooperative experience to the palms of your hands.

    Borderlands 2 will be shipping on PlayStation Vita in 2014 and will be published by Sony Computer Entertainment.

    As PAX Australia enters its last day of showing off a huge amount of indie titles and gaming championships, Gearbox Software revealed early yesterday during their Q&A panel that their loot-filled FPS RPG Borderlands 2 will be gaining a new DLC pack later this year.

    According to the Official Xbox Magazine, the new DLC will be titled "Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2" and will feature an increase to the level cap, putting the game at a max level of 72. The pack also contains the "Digistruct Peak Challenge" which will see the Vault Hunters teaming up with Professor Tannis to train prospective Crimson Raiders after the events of the main story.

    Alongside the new DLC announcement, Gearbox's head figure Randy Pitchford also revealed what he hopes to be the beginning of a new set of add-ons for the game, collectively called the "Headhunter Packs".
    The first of these will be entitled T.K. Baha's Bloody Harvest, and will feature a reprise of Borderlands 1 character T.K. Baha, only a little more undead than usual. There's no word on whether this or subsequent instalments will be comparable in length to the DLC from the first season, but Pitchford has said Gearbox hope to make "two or three" of the Headhunter Packs in total.
    Sadly these new pieces of DLC will not be included in the Season Pass, which recently ended with the fourth and final DLC - Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragonkeep. Currently pricing of the "Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2" is around $5, however it hasn't been completely confirmed yet. There is no date yet on when these DLC packs will be available, though Pitchford did mention that they could land in Halloween by the very least.

    After teasing us with the first five minutes of the game, fans of the loot-collecting FPS RPG Borderlands 2 will be happy to know that Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragonkeep DLC is now available for purchase.

    Foretold by unstable thirteen-year-old explosives expert Tiny Tina, the new DLC drops the player into a Dungeons & Dragons, instead of previously dropping players into new realms within Pandora. Like the pen & paper game, Assault on Dragon Keep will twist its world to the players needs, creating unexpected and unique encounters each time they enter the world. Players will also find unique and random monsters plus your usual foray of loot-filled chests, this time more random then ever.

    Check out the launch trailer below.

    While we await the official launch of the fourth and final DLC for loot-filled FPS Borderlands 2, Gearbox has revealed a sneak peak at the first five minutes of said DnD-themed DLC, Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep.

    Foretold by unstable thirteen-year-old explosives expert Tiny Tina, the new DLC drops the player into a Dungeons & Dragons, instead of previously dropping players into new realms within Pandora. Like the pen & paper game, Assault on Dragon Keep will twist its world to the players needs, creating unexpected and unique encounters each time they enter the world. Players will also find unique and random monsters plus your usual foray of loot-filled chests, this time more random then ever.

    Speaking with Polygon, Gearbox software writer Anthony Burch - and brother to Tiny Tina's voice actor Ashly Burch - revealed that players can expect the usual bizzaro level of weapons including "guns that shoot exploding swords." Burch also revealed that the new DLC also includes aptly-themed equipment as well, with "grenade modes that are reworked into being magic spells. There are these new grenades that wizards drop that are fire balls, magic missiles and lightning blots."

    Check it out below for what could only be described as the craziest DLC to grace Borderlands 2's unique world, expected to be released on June 25 for PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360.

    Gearbox Software has finally unveiled new screenshots for Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, the fourth and final DLC for their loot-hoarding title Borderlands 2.

    Expected to be released June 25th, the new screenshots show off the bizarro world that takes place in an almost comical Dungeons & Dragons rip-off - Bunkers & Badasses. You will take the role of a character in the game, with Tiny Tina lending her voice talents to narrate the pen and paper adventure with original Vault Hunters Brick, Mordecai and Lilith surrounding the table. The DLC will offer the attributes that make Dungeon & Dragons so unique, with on the fly changes to bosses, attributes, locations, character names and more. There are also wizards.

    The quirky DLC will be making its way to PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360 on June 25 for free to Season Pass holders, however will run at $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points) for everyone else. Rev3Games has offered up a walkthrough video (warning: spoilers!) with Anthony Burch, the game's writer, which you can check out below.

    Gearbox Software has unveiled a new launch trailer for their second downloadable character, Krieg the Psycho, who will be available later today. Offering a various amount of yelling and blood curdling screaming, Krieg's new trailer gives a glimpse at just what you can expect from each of his three skills trees - Bloodlust tree, Mania tree and Hellborn tree.
    Krieg is an apparently reformed version of the Psycho enemy from the series who wields an axe and explosives to dispatch foes. Like the game's other archetypes, he has three skill trees: Bloodlust allows you to enhance your survivability by killing damage with your Buzz Axe (which can be used for melee or thrown), the Mania tree increases your damage as you take damage, and the Hellborn tree increases your fire damage, and also makes you a lethal warrior while you're on fire. With those last two trees, friendly fire is actually very beneficial for Krieg.

    Krieg's actions come at high risk and offer high rewards, with his main action tasking him with rushing foes to kill enemies, which heals him — a necessary task, since, unlike Borderlands' melee character Brick, his health does not regenerate on its own.
    Krieg will be making his way into the game as part of the Psycho Pack downloadable content, which we presume will be filled with even more crazy shenanigans. Check out the trailer below which includes a lovely run-down from Sir Hammerlock.

    After being teased late last month through a quite comical trailer and earlier this morning accidentally being leaked through an employee Twitter photo, developer Gearbox Software has officially confirmed the fourth and final campaign DLC for their loot-dropping Borderlands 2. Titled Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, one can already assume the DLC will be themed with high explosions, sugar-induced energy levels and a game of Bunkers & Badasses.

    Revolving around the quite erratic Tiny Tina character, Assault on Dragon Keep will take place in an almost comical Dungoens & Dragons rip-off - Bunkers & Badasses. You will take the role of a character in the game, with Tiny Tina lending her voice talents to narrate the pen and paper adventure with original Vault Hunters Brick, Mordecai and Lilith surrounding the table. The DLC will offer the attributes that make Dungeon & Dragons so unique, with on the fly changes to bosses, attributes, locations, character names and more.

    The quirky DLC will be making its way to PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360 on June 25 for free to Season Pass holders, however will run at $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points) for everyone else. If you missed out on the PAX East teaser you can check it out below courtesy of IGN.

    Gearbox Software has announced new details on their upcoming patch that will add the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode among various fixes and bug squashing. The new mode will offer a more challenging playstyle compared to Normal and True Vault Hunter Mode, in that enemies will scale with level (or highest level in a party) plus changes to enemy health, slag damage and Loot Midgets.
    Added a new playthrough called Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, unlocked for a character once they have completed the main story missions in True Vault Hunter Mode and reached level 50!

    In this mode, you will always start in Southern Shelf at Cleaning Up the Berg and may reset your playthrough progress as often as you like without losing any items, levels, or stats. All enemies are significantly more difficult in this playthrough, but the loot quality has increased accordingly. Rumor has it there is an entirely new rarity of loot out there for high-level players.
    For those interested, the new Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack will also be introduced in the patch that allows players to gain 11 additional levels and skill points plus the introduction of "Ancient" E-Tech relics and rare Pearlescent-grade weapons. The new pack will retail for $4.99/400 Microsoft Points but will be free for those holding the Season Pass.

    You can check out the full details of each platform over here, plus a run down of the features in the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.

    During the PAX East event just gone by this weekend Gearbox Software revealed a teaser trailer for their upcoming single-player DLC, titled "Bunkers and Badasses" and featuring the ever-crazy Tiny Tina character. With an obvious nod to the Dungeons & Dragons PnP, the trailer sets up what looks like your typical gathering of fellow RPG fans including Siren, Brick and Mordecai in hopes of playing a game of Bunkers and Badasses.

    No other information was sadly given but during the preview president and CEO of Gearbox Software Randy Pitchford did state that "this will probably leave you more confused." Hopefully we'll hear further details on what exactly the new DLC will ensue but until then check out the trailer below courtesy of IGN.

    Fresh out of PAX East, Gearbox Software has demystified its recent teasers, announcing the next DLC character class for Borderlands 2 with Krieg the Psycho, a bandit 'experiment' that escaped to become a new vault hunter (from Polygon):
    Krieg is an apparently reformed version of the Psycho enemy from the series who wields an axe and explosives to dispatch foes. Like the game's other archetypes, he has three skill trees: Bloodlust allows you to enhance your survivability by killing damage with your Buzz Axe (which can be used for melee or thrown), the Mania tree increases your damage as you take damage, and the Hellborn tree increases your fire damage, and also makes you a lethal warrior while you're on fire.

    While nothing has been officially announced yet by Gearbox Software, a new trailer has been teased at this years SXSW Interactive Festival (via Polygon) for the loot-filled FPS Borderlands 2 of what looks to be a new playable Vault Hunter, marking the sixth addition.

    Currently it is unknown who exactly the new Vault Hunter will be, however the trailer points to a possible experiment-gone-wrong character who has seemingly escaped from some sort of prison. A vague outline offers what could be a possible cybernetic character who focuses on melee. "Deep beneath Pandora, an experiment has escaped," the trailer exclaimed. "Bandits beware, a new Vault Hunter is coming. More mayhem awaits."

    Hopefully we'll hear more of the new Vault Hunter soon, but until then all we can do is wait and see.
