Kirby and the Forgotten Land is getting a Nintendo Switch 2 expansion later this month, in case you’ve forgotten. Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World will be hitting the platform on August 28, 2025. To prep you for this momentous occasion, Nintendo has, as it is wont to do, released a handy overview trailer for you consumption. Take a look:
Here’s what you can look forward to in Star-Crossed World:
- A New Story: A massive meteor has crashed into the Forgotten Land and an impending evil is about to be unleashed. To seal it away, Kirby must venture forth and gather Starries, fragments of stars scattered across the land, while exploring new locations and facing a variety of new challenges.
- Brand-New Starry Stages: The meteor’s impact has changed aspects of the Forgotten Land. Discover new paths and explore areas that were previously inaccessible – like the tops of buildings and even the ocean floor. The meteor’s effects have made the Beast Pack more powerful, and some newly added foes will try to slow you down, as well.
- Three New Mouthful Modes: Spring Mouth, Gear Mouth, and Sign Mouth.
- New Activities: Collect Starry Coins in each stage and spend them to acquire new figures from Astronomer Waddle Dee. You can also head to the Colosseum and test your mettle in an extra-tough boss rush, The Ultimate Cup Z EX.
- Nintendo Switch 2 Enhancements: Higher quality graphics and faster frame rates across both the original game and the Star-Crossed World expansion.
If you already own Forgotten Land on Nintendo Switch, you can upgrade to Star-Crossed World by purchasing the upgrade pack for $19.99. We very much enjoyed our hands-on time with Star-Crossed World, so we recommend you keep this one on your radar as we get close to launch. Let us know what you think of the game so far in the comments and on social media!
