Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Is Kirby and the Forgotten Land Open World?

Is Kirby and the Forgotten Land Open World?

Forgotten Land is Not Open World

Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Forgotten Land is not Open World

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is not an open world game. Forgotten Land will follow the formula of previous Kirby games where you have to clear certain stages before moving on to the next.

However, unlike previous titles, Kirby and the Forgotten Land allows players to freely explore each stage. This means collectible items are tougher to find. Items such as Capsules, Figures, and Blue Coins are all well-hidden within each stage, so be sure to check thoroughly!

Kirby and the Forgotten Land Genre

3D Platformer

Kirby and the Forgotten Land - 3D Platformer

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a 3D platformer game -- the first in the series. This gives players an immersive new look at Kirby and pushes the series in a new and welcome direction.
