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

As highlighted in our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land: “Kirby and the Forgotten Land successfully transforms the series’ enjoyable mix of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a three-dimensional experience. While the post-apocalyptic setting might not be as thematically compelling as Planet Popstar, it remains visually stunning and vibrant, with cleverly designed levels that cleverly utilize Kirby’s abilities. Despite the shift in perspective, Forgotten Land retains the essence of what fans love about classic Kirby games – and if the future holds more 3D adventures for our pink hero, I’m eager to dive in.”

The Nintendo Switch 2 version includes the full original game with improved graphics, along with the new Star-Crossed World expansion. According to Nintendo, this new content sees Kirby navigating uncharted territory after a meteor strike, using his versatile abilities, including new Mouthful Modes, to clear a path forward.
