Sand Land is an action RPG by Bandai Nampo scheduled to release tomorrow, April 26. The story is based on Dragon Ball creator late Akira Toriyama’s manga and follows the story of Prince Beelzebub and his friends as they figure out the mysteries of Sand Land in their search for the Legendary Spring. The devs have just provided players with a launch trailer, just a day before the game comes out, learn more below.
The new trailer starts with a human approaching Beelzebub and his friends to join his quest to find the Legendary Spring. We then see glimpses of gameplay, with melee combat and vehicular combat clips as the group fends off bandits and monsters. More people join their crew along the way as they understand the conspiracy run by the Forest Army. Towards the end of the trailer, we also see who Beelzebub might face with his new, powered-up form.
In the battle between good and evil, things are never what they seem.
