Project Sand Land is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC

The next stage in Project Sand Land

Summer Game Fest is here to reveal everything it has, ranging from release dates to gameplay. Since we covered the multimedia adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s cult hit manga Sand Land late last year, Geoff Keighley’s show’s reveal of the game wasn’t totally news. However, we did receive confirmation that this upcoming action RPG would launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.

The footage we did see showed a lot of creatures, vehicles, and creatures in vehicles. A blog post by Bandai Namco Europe confirms that the Sand Land game comes to us via ILCA, who recently gave us One Piece Odyssey and Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Sand Land will focus on vehicular and character combat, which I imagine makes sense for readers of the manga.

I never as much as saw the source material for Sand Land until I conducted research for this article. However, since the game coincides with a “visual adaptation,” it looks like Bandai Namco hopes to broaden the work’s appeal. Will it work? Who knows! Even with this reveal, details remain scarce about the project.

Keighley noted “we’re excited to see more of it soon” following the trailer. In other words, we’ll hopefully learn more details about Project Sand Land soon.
