Bandai Namco :

 
Welcome to the Sand Box! To get ready for SAND LAND, the upcoming action RPG based on the manga by Akira Toriyama, creator of DRAGON BALL™ and DR. SLUMP, Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. has a dev diary for players to learn the ins and outs of the game prior to its launch. Featuring  an insider look at the game from producer Keishu Minami, the dev diaries give behind-the-scenes looks and insight into  adapting  Toriyama-sensei's classic manga into an open-world, post-apocalyptic adventure featuring an unlikely group of demons and humans trying to save humanity (and get their hands on the latest game system). SAND LAND is coming to PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam®. For more information, visit www.bandainamcoent.com/games/sand-land. 
 
The first episode of The Sand Box gave an overview of the enemies and vehicles that roam the parched wasteland of SAND LAND. Watch the first episode here. 
 
The latest dev diary is available to watch now here (ready for embedding): https://youtu.be/eYixMQ4EZok 
In the latest episode, Minami goes into detail for what players can expect from exploring dungeons and embarking on subquests in the game. Learn all about crafting materials, interacting with other inhabitants, and exploring the game’s desert landscape. 
 
In SAND LAND, Beelzebub and his rag-tag crew of demons and humans must roam the wastelands on foot or in various combat-capable vehicles to uncover the many secrets dragging down this post-apocalyptic world. Traverse the desert on foot or in vehicles, experience an exciting mix of action, with hand to hand- and vehicular combat, uncover secrets to overcome obstacles, and take on a diverse assortment of mighty foes in order to save the day – and ultimately get un-grounded by your father, Lucifer, so you can play video games again. 
 
In Spring 2024, SAND LAND: THE SERIES is bringing this exhilarating new anime universe exclusively to Disney streaming platforms. The project is a collaboration between Sunrise, which produced numerous works including the MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM and LOVE LIVE! SERIES, Kamikaze Douga, the animation studio which has gained attention for the opening animation for the JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE series and POPTEPIC, and ANIMA, which specializes in high quality 3DCG animation. A retelling of the hit 2023  anime feature film of the same name, SAND LAND: THE SERIES will build upon the original universe from the manga and film, telling new stories featuring the beloved Fiend Prince Beelzebub, Rao, and Thief.
