Right Back at Ya, Kirby.

A brand new Kirby game was announced during the September Nintendo Direct. Titled Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the game is slated to release in Spring 2022. Based on the footage shown in the Direct, Kirby awakens on a strange island that has buildings and other objects similar to the real world. The island is overgrown with plants and other vegetation.
