The recently-departed Akira Toriyama left behind a rich gaming legacy between contributing to the likes of Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger and the many, many, many Dragon Ball adaptations, and that legacy will only continue to build after his death. Sand Land is one of Toriyama’s more recent, lesser-known creations, but it’s been given a serious push over the past year, receiving an anime film, streaming series on Disney+, and now a video game from Bandai Namco and One Piece Odyssey developer ILCA. Of course, as great as some Toriyama-associated games have been, there’s also been a plenty of so-so […]

In a more in-depth experience than last year’s Summer Game Fest, we were invited out to freely explore the first couple of chapters of this open-world adventure. As the Prince of Demons and son of Lucifer, players take up the mantle of Beelzebub, a spunky little pink devil that’s not too far removed from the aliens of the week that pop up throughout Toriyama’s most famous of works, Dragon […]

Today, Bandai Namco has released a demo for the upcoming open world action RPG Sand Land. Developed by ILCA, the same studio that made One Piece Odyssey, Sand Land is based on a manga series created in 2000 by Akira Toriyama. Given the recent passing of the legendary artist, the game slated to launch in five weeks will be all the more special. The demo includes only a limited part of the explorable world. There's no story, either, but you can check out playable characters like Beelzebub, Rao, and Thief, as well as vehicles like Battle Tank, Battle Armor, and […]
