Kirby and the Forgotten World beats Elden Ring in Japan

Kirby and the Forgotten World beats Elden Ring in Japan

Being the best in class isn't bad but that wasn't enough for Kirby and the Forgotten World which, not content with being the best launch of its saga, even came to take first place from Elden Ring in Japan!

Beneath its innocent and cute looks, our little pink ball actually seems ready to devour the whole world. Kirby and the Forgotten World had a decent start worldwide, but in Japan it got off to an explosive start that risks going down in the history of video games in the archipelago!

Recently we shared with you HAL Laboratory 's decision to always want to innovate more in the future to create unique gaming experiences on Kirby , and that was already the ambition in the Forgotten World, hence the move to 3D . It seems to be a winning bet and that the studio finds its audience without any problem!

However, we will have to work twice as hard to compete with Pokémon and take the lead in the rankings when the next opus is launched. Beware Game Freak: Kirby is hungry.
