[Update] Kirby And The Forgotten Land Receives More Screenshots, Story, And Gameplay Details
In addition to the new trailer, the official Kirby Twitter account for Japan has shared some interesting new details about Kirby And The Forgotten Land.
According to a series of posts, the game will start off with Kirby being blasted to a strange “New World” where various Waddle Dees are being imprisoned by a group known as the Beast Corps. Kirby will then have to set off on a journey to rescue the Waddle Dees, accompanied by a new friend named “Elfilin”.
『星のカービィ ディスカバリー』では、カービィさんが「新世界」に飛ばされてしまったようです!
そこで出会った「エフィリン」さんと、われわれの仲間たちを助ける旅に出るとのこと。
カービィさん、エフィリンさん、よろしくお願いします~っ!#星のカービィディスカバリー pic.twitter.com/RwywcGFHNy— 星のカービィ (@Kirby_JP) January 12, 2022
新世界に飛ばされたわれわれの仲間たちは、「ビースト軍団」とよばれる敵に捕まってしまいました…。仲間たちはステージのあちこちに隠されてしまったり、ゴール地点まで連れ去られてしまったりしたようです!
カービィさん、早く助けてあげてください~っ!#星のカービィディスカバリー pic.twitter.com/7aXqMMoDWk— 星のカービィ (@Kirby_JP) January 12, 2022
After rescuing the Waddle Dees, they will go to a small town which serves as a base for Kirby‘s adventures in the new land. It seems that the town will grow larger the more Waddle Dees are saved, and one of the facilities appears to be a cafe that Kirby can work at. A Wise Waddle Dee in the plaza will also be there to give Kirby tips about the game, as well as trends and high scores of other players in the game if the player has a Switch Online subscription.

Finally, the Tweets also confirm the return of Bandanna Dee as a co-op partner, as well as the official names of the new copy abilities seen in the trailer: “Drill”, which equips Kirby with a drill that can tunnel through the ground, and “Ranger” which equips Kirby with a gun that fires star shaped projectiles.
な、なんとっ!今回は、バンダナワドルディさんと冒険できるようですっ!
Joy-conをおすそわけすれば、いつでもご家族やお友達と一緒に遊べちゃいますね。

「レンジャー」は敵をねらって弾丸をはなつ能力、「ドリル」は地中をモコモコ進んで攻撃する能力のようです。
