Kirby and the Forgotten Land hits the Switch on March 25th

Nintendo announced today that Kirby and the Forgotten Land will launch for Switch on March 25. The game previously had a more vague “Spring 2022” release window.

This will be Kirby’s first 3D platformer. The series debuted in 1992 with Kirby’s Dream Land for the Game Boy, a simple 2D platformer with a lot of a charm. The franchise has evolved a lot since then, noticeably by adding Kirby’s famous copy ability, but core games in the series had remained 2D affairs.
