Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a 2022 platform game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the thirteenth mainline installment in the Kirby series and the second on the Switch, as well as the first game in the series to be in full 3D, excluding spin-offs, such as Kirby Air Ride, Kirby: Battle Royale, and Kirby's Blowout Blast. The player controls Kirby in an adventure through the titular forgotten land to rescue Waddle Dees kidnapped by the ferocious Beast Pack. To complete each stage and save the Waddle Dees, Kirby can use a wide range of copy abilities to help battle enemies and progress the level.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land was well received by critics, who praised its graphics, level design, gameplay, soundtrack, and amount of content, with some calling it among the best games in the series. Minor criticism was directed towards the limited movement options and controls and repetitive mini-bosses. The game was a commercial success, selling over 7.52 million copies by March 2024, making it the best-selling game in the series and one of the best-selling games on the Switch.

A Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Forgotten Land, an enhanced version of the game featuring improved performance and a new story campaign titled Star-Crossed World, was released for the Nintendo Switch 2 on August 28, 2025.
