Sand Land gets own action RPG coming to Playstation, Xbox, PC
Be a demon hero!
Gamers will be in for a new adventure in a desert land as a demonic hero, as Bandai Namco has announced Sand Land for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
The new action RPG revealed at Summer Game Fest 2023 is based from the manga of the same name released 23 years ago, which was created by no less than Akira Toriyama — the same figure behind global hit franchise Dragon Ball.
The game will take players to a desert world where both humans and demons suffer from an extreme water shortage.
Here, they will star as Beelzebub, a self-proclaimed “super evil fiend” who has the ability to read minds and can communicate with people telepathically.
Beelzebub will be joined by Sheriff Rao and Thief Set as they embark on an adventure to explore a vast world.
Along the way, the trio will uncover Sand Land’s many secrets and take on mighty foes in dangerous situations.
Players will have an access to a wide range of customizable vehicles, as both vehicular and character combat are a big part of the gameplay.
