Now, Kirby is making its way to the Nintendo Switch again in the brand new <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/store\/products\/kirby-and-the-forgotten-land-switch\/\" data-lasso-id=\"169483\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kirby and the Forgotten Land<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Announced earlier this week at the Nintendo Direct presentation, <em>Kirby and the Forgotten Land<\/em> is an all-new take on the popular game franchise. Set in a vast open world, the entire game is played in 3D, as opposed to the previous 2D take on the games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game is set in a sort of post-apocalyptic world that has been long abandoned by its previous inhabitants. Using a variety of tools and skills, the player takes Kirby on a journey to explore the abandoned landscapes of a long-forgotten world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Kirby and the Forgotten Land \u2013 Announcement Trailer \u2013 Nintendo Switch\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H3LAkr0ANgw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, you&#8217;ll face a lot of challenges and enemies on your journey across the Forgotten Land. Various snakes, porcupines, and other dangers must be dispatched using Kirby&#8217;s vast array of weaponry and skills. We also got a sneak peek of a massive gorilla boss that is sure to give you some problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Kirby and the Forgotten Land<\/em> is set to release sometime in Spring of 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/store\/products\/kirby-and-the-forgotten-land-switch\/\" data-lasso-id=\"169484\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for the Nintendo Switch<\/a>.
