Nintendo fans may not know exactly what is on the way in 2021 quite yet, withThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2’s release date still unknown and plenty of games not yet announced. One Nintendo hero looks to still be here to save the day in 2021:Kirby. Thanks to a recent 4Gamer published series, a Japanese website that was then translated by Siliconera, it looks likeKirbyis on the menuin 2021.
Director Yumi Todo told 4Gamer that HAL Laboratory is working hard on its 2021 plans to bringKirbygames, merchandise, books, and event events to fans throughout the year. Just two months ago,HAL Laboratory surprised launchedPart-Time UFOon the Switch, and Todo also encouraged players to try that out.

The most recentKirbytitle to launch wasKirby Fighters 2on the Switchin September. Perhaps more than any other Nintendo franchise, Kirby is an experimental series. Many of the games are spin-offs, mini-game compilations, and things of that nature, likeKirby Fighters 2, for example. WithKirby Star Allieslaunching in 2018 and being the most recent mainline title, it may be about time for the next mainline entry, and Todo’s statement seems to alludes to that.
We’ll keep working hard on our goal in 2021. That is, for as many people as possible to enjoy Kirby. We have plans not only for games but also for merchandise, books, and a variety of events like with the Kirby Cafe. We hope you’ll continue to support both Kirby and HAL Laboratory in 2021!
It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that moreKirbyis on the way. Whether it is a mainline title or something of an experimental spin-off, there seems to be a newKirbytitle about every year. Another possibility with a 2021Kirbygame is aremastered version of a classicKirbygame. There are many options to choose from, 2021 should be very interesting.
