One of Nintendo’s first big releases in 2022 has announced a new trailer along with a confirmed release date for Kirby And the Forgotten Land. This is the latest and one of the most beloved titles in the Kirby franchise. This installment will celebrate 30 years of Kirby’s series. The trailer showed a variety of Kirby’s abilities. And a co-op mode. It is dropping no longer than March 25th.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a 3D platformer that takes players to a “mysterious world” where they use Kirby’s famous ability, inhaling enemies to steal their abilities. Some of the new ones include the Drill and Ranger. Players are trying to save the abducted Waddle Dees, and the game also supports co-op, with a second player controlling Bandana Waddle Dee.
The open-world approach includes a central hub called Waddle Dee Town. The town will develop more and more as Waddle Dees are recused. With the ability to play mini-games with inhabitants of the city, new shops will open up as the town expands. As an example, you’ll be able to lend a hand in the Waddle Dee Café by preparing customer orders to keep them satisfied.
The new trailer showcases many of the abilities that Kirby will be able to utilize during his adventures in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, as well as several of its eye-catching surroundings. With the Drill copy ability, Kirby can submerge into the ground to attack enemies from underneath. The Ranger copy ability specifically gives Kirby a long-range attack in a musket-styled gun to shoot enemies from afar.

Co-op Mode is Also Introduced
The new trailer also butters that Kirby and the Forgotten Land include co-op. You can play as Bandana Waddle Dee if you wish to accompany Kirby’s adventure. He uses a spear to help out. Though it is specified that this co-op is on a single system, there’s no online multiplayer. To play co-op, players will need another person physically there and at least a Joy-Con controller for them to use.
A beautiful description of Kirby and the Forgotten Land from Nintendo says
“Kirby has a flair for inhaling air, so he’ll have his work cut out for him when he arrives in an unknown land and discovers that Waddle Dees are being kidnapped in droves by the Beast Pack,”. They further added, “To rescue the Waddle Dees, Kirby heads out on a journey with the curious Elfilin, whom he meets in the new world.”
On the whole, this year marks the 30th in Kirby’s franchise, so that Nintendo may have additional plans. However, they have not revealed anything else yet.
