The 3D platformer also got a new gameplay trailer, showcasing some of the many environments you’ll get to explore, as well as some of the abilities Kirby can use, including what looks to be a cap that gives players powers similar to that of Link from The Legend of Zelda series.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is officially available for pre-order now, and will also support co-op play when it launches in a few months. In its co-op mode (which you can see a bit of in the video above), players can help out their friends by playing as the spear-wielding Bandana Waddle Dee.

Not too much is known about the latest entry in the Kirby series, but it’s more open than the other entries that are typically played on a 2D plane. Nintendo has also described the story as having players discovering “a mysterious world with abandoned structures from a past civilization.” Footage from the game seems to hint at Kirby exploring areas like a shopping mall, parks, and much more, so perhaps the game is set in the far future with Kirby exploring past structures built by other beings.
