Nintendo Officially Reveals New Kirby Game for Switch 2
Kirby and the World Beyond is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027
Nintendo has officially announced the upcoming release of a new Kirby game for the Nintendo Switch 2, titled "Kirby and the World Beyond." The game will mark Kirby's second outing on the current-generation console, following his 2022 adventure in "Kirby and the Forgotten Land." The game will allow players to freely explore an expansive, open-world environment, putting Kirby's unique Copy Abilities to creative use in a 3D adventure.
Kirby's most recent game, "Kirby and the Forgotten Land," was well-received, leading fans to eagerly anticipate a new 3D adventure for the beloved pink hero. In a Nintendo Direct showcase, Yoshiaki Koizumi teased the new game, describing it as "a huge world beyond [Kirby's] own." A trailer reveals Kirby breaking through a crack in the sky to discover this expansive realm.
With the game set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in spring 2027, this marks Kirby's 35th anniversary, suggesting more exciting Kirby announcements may be forthcoming before then.
