The game is set to release on April 26 (April 25 in Japan) for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Sand Land game is described by Bandai Namco Entertainment as:
Immerse yourself in a barren world where both humans and demons endure a severe scarcity of water.
Join the Fiend Prince, Beelzebub, Sheriff Rao, and the demon Thief as they embark on an exciting quest to find a legendary spring concealed in the desert.
Introducing himself as a “super evil fiend,” Beelzebub possesses a pure heart akin to that of a little boy, yet he possesses extraordinary strength and telepathic abilities.
Rao, a small-town sheriff, enlists the help of some unlikely allies to tackle the water shortage threatening Sand Land.
A wise old demon with thieving abilities also accompanies Beelzebub and Rao on their adventure.
As Beelzebub, players can embark on an adventure through a vast world alongside a unique group of demons and humans.
While exploring the expansive desert of SAND LAND, players will come across both perilous obstacles and kind-hearted individuals who are willing to lend a hand.
Whether they’re traversing in different vehicles or on foot, numerous secrets are waiting to be discovered. Combat, both vehicular and character-based, plays a significant role in the game’s action-packed gameplay.
Players will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of vehicles, which they can personalize and outfit with different loadouts.
These vehicles will enable them to navigate the desert, conquer challenges, and face off against a multitude of formidable enemies.
The Sand Land manga was a delightful series that Toriyama serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from May to August 2000. In November 2000, Shueisha released a compiled book volume of the manga.
The manga led to an anime film adaptation that premiered in Japan in August 2023. The film made its debut at Comic-Con International San Diego in July 2023 and is set to release in North America in 2024. The manga is set to debut as an anime series on Disney+ and Hulu starting March 20.
