Sand Land
A new bit of the story for Sand Land is here as it comes to the upcoming video game version of Sand Land
Since we had Sand Land announced not too long ago, I know there have been a few out there looking to get more of this story to see if it is going to be something worth our time to dig into. Granted, one could just dive into the Manga series to get all of that, but some might think that Bandai Namco will be looking to shake things up when the game lands on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Now will be the time for us all to see what is on the way with a new story trailer for Sand Land that has been released. Get ready to dive in and see just how close or far they are coming to the source material of it all. In a two-minute little video, at least.
Here we get to see the world of Sand Land and how the scorching deserts of the world have affected everyone. A greedy king has hoarded away all of the water and makes this life-giving substance hard to acquire. That is where our heroes step in as we see humans and demons team up to find a different source of it all so the water can be shared with everyone. Not wanting that to happen, the King has put out the army to stop them as they go upon their quest. There we go with the basics of Sand Land with the humor and weirdness of it all mixed in too. Have a look and see what is in the works for when the game lands out there.
Sand Land — Story
How did this unlikely alliance between humans and demons come to be and what is their goal?
A new trailer of Sand Land shows more about this world turned into a scorching desert, where the greed of the King makes life impossible for its inhabitants by controlling access to water. Sheriff Rao strongly believes another oasis, capable of ending the terrible drought, is here somewhere…
In order to find this Legendary Spring, Rao knows he cannot undertake this dangerous journey alone and travels to the Demon Village to seek help. With the consent of the King of Demons, Beelzebub the Friend Prince and his chaperone Thief join Sheriff Rao on their thirstiest adventure ever, searching the world for this life-saving spring.
As they progress in their journey, the group realizes they shouldn’t let their guard down as heat and thirst are not their only enemies. General Are, accompanied by the Royal Army, will pursue Beelzebub and his companions around the world and try to stop them.
Sand Land is set to release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
All in all, Sand Land sounds like the story of Mad Max: Fury Road and other stories like it. Nothing too insane but nothing we have not heard or seen in mass before. Granted, the timeline of when all of the stories came out can mix things up, so I use the other title as a point of reference for those that are not up on the manga or the series Sand Land is working with. It is not like we have not seen this in the past, so we can just look forward to seeing this story expanded and maybe the gameplay of it all offering up a different bit of fun that the other titles have not yet. We are trying to be less cynical over here if possible…
How does the story of Sand Land hit you and is it going to be more that Mad Max with demons? Will it stick close to the manga series or will it only use the basics as a reference to build from along the way? Do you think it should lean more into the gameplay with the story as a secondary bit or will this new telling be worth it in general? Drive on into the comments below to discuss all of this and everything else that we have to offer up out there. We will keep sharing all we can for Sand Land as we get it, so please keep on checking in here for those updates and more.
