Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 Expansion Trailer Appears

Nintendo shared a trailer for Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Star-Crossed World, given the Switch 2 expansion and update arrives on August 28, 2025, and the video highlights the new story and gameplay. Things all begin with a meteor crashing, transforming the terrain and existing monsters and scattering Starries everywhere.

Since Star-Crossed World is taking place in the Forgotten Land, many of the areas will look familiar. This is because Kirby will be returning to spots he visited in the main campaign to deal with the new threats and collect the Starries. Because of the influence of the meteor, crystals can completely change the landscape and terrain, perhaps even offering access to new areas. 

This will also mean three new Kirby Mouthful Modes present, with gameplay highlighting how each work in Kirby and the Forgotten Land Star-Crossed World. Spring Mouth triggers when he inhales a spring, and it allows him to jump to greater heights and perhaps even smash down on enemies and objects. Inhaling a gear triggers Gear Mouth and makes it possible to vertically and horizontally scale certain areas. Inhaling a sign causes him to go to Sign Mouth mode, which lets you sled down inclines.

Here’s the full Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World expansion gameplay and story trailer.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is available on the Switch, and the Switch 2 update and Star-Crossed World expansion will arrive on August 28, 2025.
