Sand Land is an action RPG based on the popular manga created by Akira Toriyama, the author of Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump.

Revealed in 2022, get ready for an inspiring adventure with a demonic hero, featuring a vast world to explore full of secrets, visceral action, and explosive vehicular combat.

Dive into a desert world where both humans and demons suffer from an extreme water shortage. Play as and watch the Fiend Prince, Beelzebub, Sheriff Rao, and demon Thief set off on an adventure in search of a Legendary Spring hidden in the desert. Introducing himself as a “super evil fiend”, Beelzebub has a pure heart like a little boy but has superhuman strength and telepathic abilities. Rao, a small-town sheriff, seeks the aid of demons to save all of Sand Land from the water shortage. Thief, a wise old demon with thieving abilities also accompanies Beelzebub and Rao on their adventure. 

Playing as Beelzebub, players will be able to explore a vast world accompanied by his unlikely group of demons and humans. Whether roaming in various vehicles, or traveling by foot, players will encounter dangers as well as helpful characters they meet in the vast desert while uncovering SAND LAND’s many secrets. Vehicular and character combat is a big part of the action in the game. Players will have access to a variety of vehicles that they can customize and equip with loadouts to traverse the desert, overcome obstacles, and take on a diverse assortment of mighty foes.

This new 9-minute trailer gives you  a glimpse of the expanded gameplay before they venture further into the sandy horizon with Fiend Prince Beelzebub, Sheriff Rao and Thief in search of the Legendary Well!

Throughout their epic journey filled with enemies such as evil monsters, bandits and the King's Royal Army, players must take matters into their own hands to defeat them. In combat mode, Beelzebub is a fierce fighter who uses powerful attacks, but also stealth, to quickly eliminate the enemy. With the experience you earn after each battle, you can get more and more power-ups, giving you new unique abilities for Beelzebub and his companions.

Furthermore, vehicles are also incredibly useful tools in the game. With the help of a new ally, Ann, they can be customized and upgraded to discover new locations and defeat enemies that only become more difficult as the gang ventures into greener and lusher areas. 

The machines and combat skills are not the only ones that need an upgrade, because Beelzebub and his friends stumble upon the abandoned city of Spino. Despite its current state, the city is full of opportunities for players to revive it and call it home: as the adventure progresses, the city will grow and evolve, adding new merchants, quests and options to prepare you for the next adventure.

Serialized intensively for a short period in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2000, Sand Land's one volume comic has gained worldwide popularity since its publishing.

Sand Land is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on April 26, 2024.
