You can't make this up. Gearbox has released a new teaser website for an upcoming game which is set to be shown during the Summer Game Fest Kickoff Live on June 10, but in the process, may have spoiled the actual game it's intending to show.
The teaser site promises 'a new adventure' from the team, with all set to be revealed this Thursday. Its coming from Gearbox and 2K Games, with the site being called "Be Chaotic Great."
However, within minutes the site's CSS files have been discovered and show that the game is in fact called Wonderlands. In case you missed it, the same name was mentioned in 2K's E3 leak, which claimed Wonderlands is a Borderlands spin-off surrounding the fan favourite character Tiny Tina.

Earlier this year, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford shut down rumours that the team was co-developing a Borderlands spin-off, but didn't actively deny the studio was working on one itself. Pitchford did say the team is working on "some amazing stuff", later adding: "If anyone out there has Skills-To-Pay-Bills and wants to get in on some Borderlands action, we're working on the big one."
Putting everything together, it seems extremely likely that Wonderlands is the title intended to be shown this coming week. Gearbox is expected to hold an E3 showcase on June 12, so we'll soon find out whether the rest of the leaked plans were in fact correct.
What do you think Wonderlands could be? Let us know in the comments below.

When it comes to spin offs, I wonder if they'll stick to the same formula, ala "judgement" or switch up the play style, like "yakuza: like a dragon" did.
I would be happy with a full on RPG with her as Dungeon Master like they did with the Assault on Dragon Keep DLC to BL2.
Would explain the need to make Tiny Tina a main character in the Borderlands movie when she's a side character at best.
Seems like they are trying to sell Tiny Tina as being far more popular than she actually is. Anyways last time they made a spin-off they gave us Battleborn.
@JayJ Battleborn was actually a really good Moba, they went wrong releasing it at the same time as Overwatch and getting compared with a team based Hero Shooter.
@Mr-Fuggles777 I had the game, had because you can't play it anymore even if you bought it. The graphics were probably the best thing about it, I just remember the game as being really mediocre and that is me trying to be nice about it.
@JayJ I quite enjoyed it but struggled to get full lobbies at launch and it went downh9from there.
@InterceptorAlpha There's a Borderlands movie?!
@gingataisen Yep. Strange cast to be sure but I'll give it a shot, if nothing else, to see how bad it is lol.
