— Official description for Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is an upcoming 3D platformer Kirby game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. The game was announced in a Nintendo Direct on September 23, 2021 and is planned to release worldwide in Spring 2022.[1]

Story

Kirby awakens on a beach of an unknown "new world"[2] to find himself in a strange and mysterious land of the past, where civilization and nature have become one. The land is inhabited by the "Beast Corps",[3] a group of beast-like foes who seem to have a vendetta against Kirby. The Beast Corps are also shown to have kidnapped numerous Waddle Dees in golden cages, leaving it up to Kirby to save them. At some point, Kirby allies himself with a flying, cyan, rodent-like creature, before they are attacked by a gorilla-like member of the Beast Corps, leading to Kirby doing battle in order to rescue several Waddle Dees.

Gameplay

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the first 3D action game in the main series; it appears to control similarly to Kirby's other 3D entries, such as Kirby Air Ride and other games following the sub-game Kirby 3D Rumble. Unlike most previous forays into 3D, however, this game features fully functional Copy Abilities. The game appears to still follow the formula of reaching the goal location, instead of being an open world entry. The game's environmental design appears to take cues from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

The game is set to include weapons that allow for ranged firing using a "targeting/crosshairs" system.[4]
