Nintendo closed the September 9 Direct with a big swing: Kirby and the World Beyond<\/strong>, developed by HAL Laboratory<\/a>, is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in Spring 2027<\/strong> \u2014 landing right in time for the Kirby series’ 35th anniversary year.<\/p>\n

The Sky Has a Ceiling \u2014 and Kirby Just Broke Through It<\/h2>\n

The reveal trailer opens on familiar Dream Land scenery before cracks appear in the sky. It is a Truman Show moment: the blue above is a shell, not a real sky, and something lies beyond it. With King Dedede’s help, Kirby punches clean through and tumbles into the titular World Beyond \u2014 a sprawling patchwork of new environments unlike anything in the series’ history.<\/p>\n

What immediately stands out is the structure. Kirby and the Forgotten Land<\/em> (2022) used a world-hub with discrete linear levels. The World Beyond<\/em> looks to open things up considerably: the camera is fully rotatable, and the footage shows Kirby traversing wide open zones with visible depth and interconnected paths \u2014 a proper open-zone layout that lets players roam rather than march forward level by level.<\/p>\n
