Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is an upcoming remaster of a 2011 Wii game, a fan favorite 4-player co-op platformer done in a classic Kirby style. Last year, Kirby and the Forgotten Land brought a lot of innovation and changes to this classic Nintendo franchise, but if the new 3D world wasn’t to your taste and you want more classic 2.5D Kirby action to play with family or friends, the Deluxe version of Return to Dream Land is coming out just for you on February 24, 2023.
