Tiny Tina's Wonderlands has been a success for Gearbox. That’s according to CEO Randy Pitchford, who broke the news at Embracer’s general meeting yesterday.
"Gearbox Software achieved a major victory this past year with the launch of the new franchise Tiny Tina's Wonderlands," Pitchford said (via VGC). "Wonderlands shattered all of our target expectations, both critically and commercially, and I'm thrilled that, in addition to great financial rewards from this victory that will be coming our way in the coming quarters, we have established a firm beachhead. We now clearly have a new franchise on our hands, with future experiences already under development at Gearbox."

He also said that Take-Two is looking "forward to the possibilities for this new franchise" for "years to come."
