Bandai Namco has announced that the action RPG Sand Land, adapted from a manga by Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, will be released on April 26, 2024. A new trailer showcases the game's release date, new biomes, gameplay features, and characters. Sand Land, which was unveiled at last year's Summer Games Fest, brings the classic Toriyama manga to life with a style reminiscent of Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball games. The series is set in a desert apocalypse similar to Mad Max, where water is a scarce and valuable resource.
The game follows Beelzebub, a demon prince and son of Lucifer, who is looking for adventure. He is accompanied by Thief and old man Sheriff Rao as they search for water for their people. The trailer also introduces Ann, a mysterious mechanic who will be a helpful companion. The game offers a variety of customizable vehicles for your journey across different landscapes.
The new trailer gives a glimpse of the greener worlds beyond the desert on the path to the Legendary Spring, showing that the game offers more than just sand.
The game will be released on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X on April 26, 2024. Sand Land is not only being revived in video games, but also has a new anime film adaptation that premiered last year. A series based on the movie is currently in development and is scheduled to be available for streaming in Spring 2024 on Hulu in the US, and on Disney+ in international markets.

I'm a big fan of Akira Toriyama's work, and I know that he's created something special with Sand Land. The game's unique setting and Mad Max-inspired aesthetic really appeal to me, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds.
I'm also excited about the customizable vehicles and the variety of landscapes that the game offers. It looks like there will be a lot of different ways to play the game, and I can't wait to experiment with different strategies and find the best way to survive in this harsh desert world. Overall, I'm very optimistic about Sand Land and I think it has the potential to be one of the best games of 2024.
