The game based on Akira Toriyama’s Sand Land has been dated

Bandai Namco has announced a release date for Sand Land, the action RPG based on the manga series of the same name from Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama.

Pre-orders for several editions of the game are now live ahead of its PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and PC release on April 26, 2024.

The game is in development at Japanese studio ILCA, which was also behind Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and last year’s One Piece Odyssey, which Bandai Namco published too.

“Dive into a desert world where both humans and demons suffer from an extreme water shortage – Sand Land,” reads an official description of the game.

“Meet the Fiend Prince Beelzebub, his chaperone Thief, and the fearless Sheriff Rao, and follow the team in an extraordinary adventure in search of the Legendary Spring hidden in the desert.

“In this action-RPG, you will become the main character Beelzebub, and learn how to control his demonic powers as you lead your company of heroic misfits while exploring the legendary world of Sand Land.

“Use your tact and imagination to develop tanks and other vehicles that will help you navigate this ruthless land, and build up your base of operations into a thriving city, bringing back water to the land!”

Bandai Namco’s next major release is Tekken 8, which hits PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on January 26.
