Forums - Nintendo - Kirby and the World Beyond announced, coming to Switch 2 in Spring 2027

TBH while I enjoyed Forgotten Lands, I wasn’t a huge fan of it. Movement is a big thing for me when it comes to 3D platformers, and Kirby felt very… eh. Here’s to hoping World Beyond can sway me over to the pink puffball. I always have a blast playing 2D Kirby, just not so much Forgotten Lands.

Damn, what a surprise. This looks very ambitious compared to forgotten land. Definitely looking forward to this.

Is it safe to say Forgotten Land is more like Super Mario 3D World and World Beyond is like Odyssey? At least based on the little footage so far?

That seems to be the case. So far it seems like we have only seen the starting area. It seems Hal have been given a much bigger budget for this after the success of Forgotten Land.

I imagine movement will be very different in this one just because it's a very different style of 3D Platformer to forgotten lands.



Forgotten Lands and now this will have released before the next 3D Mario. Damn.



 

 

 

 

 

I might actually give it a whirl. Kirby isn't normally my speed, but since the kids went nuts for Donkey Kong Bananza, Yoshi, and Star Fox, I'll grab a copy for them. Fingers crossed it gets the same kind of massive franchise overhaul Bananza pulled off.

The more I look back at this trailer and the more I hear excited fans talk about this game, the more confident I’m feeling that yea this is gonna be a big one. Whereas Forgotten Lands was to Mario as was 3D World, World Beyond truly feels like Bowser’s Fury but on a much more fully-fleshed-out scale.
