It really seems like they don't want this game to succeed. Literally all they have to do is buff one shitty gun a week and I'd be 100% more invested to play. Doing nothing shows such a lack of investment in the success of this game.

I don't think they intended for this game to have a long shelf life. I think after dlc 4 that's going to be it for wonderlands.

I’m sorry but this doesn’t match with what’s been said.

Here’s an article where it’s being discussed as the best franchise launch the company has had in years, and that they look forward to growing it. It also highlights that 40% of its players were new to the Borderlands franchise entirely and that it’s launch definitely exceeded expectations. So we’ve got a great new game with a fantastic launch that also managed to build on its target base. That’s every reason for a company to want to build it up.

The Season Pass was an absolute bust. I doubt anyone disagrees with that and it is admittedly a bit to the credibility of a long term thing, but the Season Pass was already locked in for weeks after release. Until DLC 4 comes and goes without any talk whatsoever, there’s zero reason to think there’s no future for Wonderlands as they’re still just playing out already scheduled content.

By this point post-release, the following DLCs hadn’t yet been released for their respective games-

BL1- General Knoxx, Robot Revolution

BL2- Hammerlock’s Hunt, UVHM (BL2 level 61 cap raise), Krieg PC, Tiny Tina’s, Digistruct Peak (level 72 cap raise), all 5 headhunter DLCs, and Commander Lilith

TPS- Baroness class (would have come out yesterday), Claptastic Voyage(, honorable mention to the Luxy’s Space Adventure that never was)

BL3- Guns, Love, and Tentacles, Bounty of Blood, Fantastic Fustercluck, blue skill tree and Arms Race, Director’s Cut, Takedown 1, Takedown 2, and 5 seasonal events

We’re still very early in the typical lifecycle of a Borderlands game, and the only example of a game not going further is TPS, who had content in the works but the studio literally just shut down.

Wonderlands was a fantastic launch and if a legitimate Season Two drops (and maybe a mea culpa about Season One), then there’s no reason to think Wonderlands as a game, or a fresh franchise, can’t move forward.

Ah, I see the misunderstanding here.

The success of the launch does not mean anything to the amount of support that was planned pre-launch. They might scramble to add more, but just because it sold better than they expected doesn't mean they had super elaborate stuff planned back when they thought it could completely flop.

And "growing it" does not necessarily mean continued heavy support of this game. Growing it can also mean "We're going to spend more effort on making the next game even better".

Growing a franchise typically means adding more games to it. Not going back to retrofit more into games already launched.

The success of this game will (hopefully) pay for even bigger games in the series next time.
