Bandai Namco Entertainment describes the game:
Delve into a desert world where both humans and demons suffer from severe water shortages. Play as and follow the Demon Prince, Beelzebub, Sheriff Rao and the demon thief as they set out on an adventure to find the legendary Spring hidden in the desert. Introducing himself as a “super devil”, Beelzebub has a pure heart like a boy but has superhuman strength and telepathic abilities. Rao, the sheriff of a small town, seeks the help of the demons to save the entire Sand Land from water shortage. Thief, a wise old demon with the ability to steal also accompanies Beelzebub and Rao on their adventure.
Playing as Beelzebub, players will be able to explore a vast world with his unexpected group of demons and humans. Whether traveling by various means of transport or on foot, players will encounter dangers as well as helpful characters they meet in the vast desert while discovering the many secrets of SAND LAND. Vehicle and character combat is a big part of the game’s action. Players will have access to a variety of vehicles that they can customize and accessorize to traverse the desert, overcome obstacles, and take on a variety of powerful enemies.
The Sand Land manga is a series of short stories that Toriyama serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from May to August 2000. Shueisha published a compilation volume of the manga in November 2000.
The manga inspired an anime film adaptation that opened in Japan in August 2023. The film had its world premiere at San Diego Comic-Con International in July 2023 and is expected to ants in North America this year. The manga will also be adapted into an anime series on Disney+ and Hulu on March 20.
