Sand Land Unsurprisingly Changes One Of The Manga's Best Easter Eggs

What a week it has been, with the sun finally showing its face again after a chilly April for the UK. We’ve still had plenty of time to play games though, and I’ve been continuing to plug away at Fallout 4 and No Rest for the Wicked, as well as taking some time to chill out with Endless Ocean: Luminous which is just a little bit too calm for its own good. Besides that I’ve made a start on Sand Land for our review which will appear after the weekend.

One observant Starfield player has discovered a new Easter egg that pays homage to one of gaming's most popular inside jokes. While the developers at Bethesda Game Studios have included a lot of references, big and small, to remind players that Starfield takes place in a future version of this universe, most of them aren't a direct nod-and-a-wink to the gaming community.

We’re only one night's sleep away from the release of Bandai Namco’s new RPG based on the late Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama’s underappreciated wasteland series, Sand Land. To celebrate the occasion, the game’s developers have shared a message written by the renowned manga creator before his passing in March.

Earlier this year, famous mangaka and Dragon Quest co-creator Akira Toriyama passed away at the age of 68. But before he did, he had the chance to try out the new Sand Land game, based on his one-shot manga series from 24 years ago.

Originally published all the way back in 2000 as a standalone manga, it's strange, but not unwelcome, to see Sand Land be revived as both an anime series and a video game almost a quarter of a century later. Authored by the late and legendary Akira Toriyama, Sand Land is an incredibly charming story about a post-apocalyptic world, where a cocky demon prince is roped into helping out what's left of humanity.

the video game is both an adaptation of the late Akira Toriyama's work and a revised and expanded edition of the beloved manga from 2000., published by Bandai Namco, is developed by ILCA, the studio behind Bandai Namco's own and the Toriyama-art-filled from Square Enix. This really shows in its art style, cel-shading that looks like Toriyama's illustrations come to life, and in the gameplay.
