Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

Release date: August 28, 2025

New but old Kirby on Switch 2

Kirby and the Forgotten Land + StarCrossed World is essentially just an expanded version of the 2022 platform game, which will hit Nintendo Switch 2. Kirby is once again going to a mysterious, abandoned land to rescue trapped Waddle Dees. But this time, we'll also get to experience a new adventure - an extra story chapter inspired by the fall of an enigmatic meteorite.

Time to absorb the world, or at least part of it

New worlds bring fresh locations, puzzles, enemies, and challenges that enrich the familiar gameplay elements. Kirby and the Forgotten Land + StarCrossed World still relies on the iconic mechanic of absorbing opponents' abilities, but also introduces new variants of the Mouthful Mode, such as Spring Mouth, which allows for big jumps. The Switch 2 release is not only new content, but also technical improvements - the game runs at a higher resolution and offers smoother animation.
