Kirby And The Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World Debuts Enhanced Features Ahead of August 2025 Release

Nintendo has officially released a comprehensive overview trailer for Kirby And The Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World, providing fans with an in-depth look at the highly anticipated paid upgrade launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.

The updated edition is scheduled for release on August 28, 2025, and builds upon the widely acclaimed platformer originally developed by HAL Laboratory for the Nintendo Switch. The newly released footage showcases several of the key enhancements that set the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition apart.

Notably, players can expect improved performance thanks to the Switch 2's advanced hardware, including smoother framerates and higher-resolution visuals.

The trailer also highlights the addition of Starry Stages, a brand-new set of levels that expands the original game's content and challenges long-time fans to explore creative platforming mechanics. In a translation and summary of Nintendo's announcement, company representatives detailed three additional "Mouthful Modes" being introduced in this upgrade—features that first appeared in Japanese promotional materials.

These new transformations are designed to further diversify gameplay and offer fresh ways for players to interact with the whimsical world of Kirby. To encourage players to revisit the game or discover it for the first time, Nintendo of America has also released a special Present Code: READYTOGO.

By entering this code directly in-game, players can receive a range of bonuses, including 800 Star Coins, 1 Rare Stone, and a Life Up.

Details of this promotion were shared via the official Nintendo of America X (formerly Twitter) account on August 5, 2025. Kirby And The Forgotten Land has enjoyed significant commercial and critical success since its initial launch, quickly becoming one of the best-selling titles in the Kirby series.

This paid expansion and Switch 2 re-release mark the next chapter in the franchise's storied history, showing Nintendo's ongoing commitment to supporting its core properties with new content and technology advancements. Players can pick up Kirby And The Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World from August 28, 2025, via the Nintendo eShop and retail stores.
