Nintendo announces a new 3D Kirby game, Kirby and the World Beyond, for the Nintendo Switch 2. The announcement comes during a Nintendo Direct, where Nintendo shows a first look at the title and confirms a Spring 2027 release window.
Sources describe it as Kirby’s second 3D adventure, following Kirby and the Forgotten Land (2022). My Nintendo News and other outlets link the reveal to Kirby’s 35th anniversary. Nintendo Life highlights that the gameplay shown appears to offer large, freely explorable areas and focuses on Kirby’s copy abilities, including imagery of the world’s outer wall breaking as Kirby goes beyond it. Eurogamer and Polygon similarly focus on the official reveal and the planned timing for Switch 2, with Polygon noting the reveal occurred in a Nintendo Direct.
Across outlets, the key points remain consistent: it is a newly revealed Kirby game built for Switch 2, slated for Spring 2027, and presented via a trailer during Nintendo’s presentation.
