Post-apocalyptic action RPG Sand Land releases on April 26

Bandai Namco has announced that Sand Land, based on the manga by Akira Toriyama, is set to release on Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and PC on April 26.

Alongside the release date announcement, Bandai Namco has released a new trailer showcasing the game’s environments and various vehicles. It looks fantastic to me. I know next to nothing about the manga, but I’ve been in love with post-apocalyptic vehicular combat since basically forever. However, it was pushed into overdrive after I discovered the Metal Max series.

Set in a world ravaged by war and environmental disasters, Sand Land stars Beelzebub, the Thief, and Sheriff Rao as they explore the desert. It’s an action RPG with a heavy focus on customizable vehicles. These range everywhere from tanks, to bikes, to mechs. 

I’m not sure how this will shake out, but I’m hoping for something somewhere between Metal Max and Dragon Quest. As far as we’ve seen, things look promising.

Sand Land will release on April 26, 2024, for Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and PC.
