What is Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World?

Play

From our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land: "Kirby and the Forgotten Land masterfully transitions the series' enjoyable blend of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a 3D environment. While the post-apocalyptic setting may not have the thematic richness of Planet Popstar, it remains beautifully vibrant, featuring cleverly designed levels that make ingenious use of Kirby's abilities. Despite the shift in perspective, Forgotten Land preserves the essence of what makes classic Kirby games beloved. If the future holds more 3D adventures for our pink hero, I'm eager to dive in."

This Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game includes the complete original game with enhanced graphics, plus the Star-Crossed World expansion, which adds a fresh adventure. Nintendo describes the new content as: "Kirby must use his remarkable abilities, including some new Mouthful Modes, to navigate through uncharted territory after a powerful meteor strikes the world."
