Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandswas recently featured during Sony’s PlayStation Showcase event, offering fans their first in-depth look at Gearbox’s upcoming looter shooter. As the reveal presented,Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandsis in many ways a continuation of theBorderlandsfranchise, just with a fantasy spin. Despite the similar identity toBorderlands,Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandsis making some exciting changes to help it stand out. One such example is full character customization.
InTiny Tina’s Wonderlands, players will be making their own character rather than selecting from a pre-made group ofVault Hunters like inBorderlands. While the full scope ofTiny Tina’s Wonderlands' character customization will need to be seen to be fully understood, on paper there’s a lot to be excited about.Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandswill allow players to customize not just their character’s physical appearance, but also their race, as well as their voice and personality.

While Gearbox doesn’t get into specifics with regards to what it really means to customize a character’s personality, it does seem very excited about what it has made. Personality may not even be the accurate way to describe it, but it’s howGearboxcharacterized “some other fun stuff” that it wasn’t ready to detail just yet. The only other detail about these “fun” options tied to personality that Gearbox offered is that they won’t be related to aesthetics.
As for aesthetics, Gearbox sounds like it’s going to letTiny Tina’s Wonderlandsplayers have a lot of freedom. Players will be able to create their own orc, which makes sense for aDungeons & Dragons-inspired game. However, they’ll also be able to add things like shark fins to their head, which is distinctly not veryDungeons & Dragons. Gearbox says to expect features that aren’t very humanoid, a surprise given how humanoidBorderlands' playable characters have been over the years.
One other detail worth pointing out is howTiny Tina’s Wonderlands' character customizationties into the player’s skills and abilities. It doesn’t. Players will be able to customize their character’s appearance and personality without worrying about how it’ll impact gameplay. Each ofTiny Tina’s Wonderlands' six skill trees can be chosen from separately from character customization.
One big question left unanswered is how players will be able to customize their character with clothes. Loot will, it seems, remain focused on melee weapons and guns. That perhaps means clothes will remain the realm ofunlockables and microtransactions. There’s clearly still a lot left for Gearbox left to share aboutTiny Tina’s Wonderlands.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandsreleases July 09, 2025, on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
