Kirby Star Allies[a] is an upcoming platform game part of the Kirby series. Developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo, the game is due for release on the Nintendo Switch game console in 2018.

Gameplay

Kirby Star Allies is a platform game played from a side-down perspective. Players control the series' titular protagonist Kirby who can be accompanied by up to three companions. Kirby can throw hearts at enemies to turn them into his allies. The game can be played alone with the game's AI controlling companions or cooperatively with other players controlling companions. When Kirby has companions, new special attacks become available which allow Kirby to combine his abilities with those of his allies'.[1] The Nintendo Direct presentation also shows some puzzle stages, which require Kirby to outrun a moving obstacle. Classic bosses, such as King Dedede, are shown to be stronger due to being possessed by a dark force with effects similar to Dark Matter from the Kirby's Dream Land series.

Development and release

Kirby Star Allies is being developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo.[2] The game was initially teased under the tentative title Kirby during the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2017. In September 2017, the game's official title was announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation. The game is scheduled to be released for the Nintendo Switch game console in 2018.[3]
