Now Playing: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Full Presentation | Gearbox E3 2021
Project 1v1 was described as a fast-paced 1v1 first-person combat with the metagame strategy of a collectible card game.”
In addition to the pandemic, Gearbox has undergone a change in ownership since Project 1v1 was announced. The Texas-based studio is now owned by the Embracer Group in a $1.3 billion deal.
Looking ahead, Gearbox has said it looks forward to announcing new IP and more as a result of the buyout. The studio isn’t walking away from the Borderlands series, however, as it’s developing a Borderlands spin-off called Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands for release in 2022. This is the kind of fantasy RPG that Pitchford has been trying to make for decades after unsuccessfully pitching a Lord of the Rings game.
In other Gearbox news, Pitchford recently discussed the upcoming Borderlands movie and how Eli Roth filmed multiple “zingers” for the film that might set up a sequel.
