While sand can, at times, be coarse, rough, and irritating (getting everywhere), this couldn't be further from the case with the upcoming RPG, Sand Land. Courtesy of IGN, we got a look at 12 minutes of silky-smooth, buttery-soft PS5 gameplay from San Diego Comic-Con that's just brimming with Akira Toriyama's trademark charm.
We see our Buu-like demonic protagonist, Beelzebub, and friends journeying through the arid wastes, encountering all kinds of aggressive fauna in various different vehicles. Dismounting, we get to see the kind of on-foot action RPG combat in-store, which doesn't seem too taxing, and very Dragon Ball, at times.
Sand Land is based on a one-shot manga of the same name, written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama in the early 2000s. It's really cool to see this one brought to life, and we'll be looking forward to playing whenever it launches (Bandai Namco has its release date listed, maddeningly, as "To Be Revealed").
What do you think of Sand Land? How do you feel about sand, in general? Wash off thoroughly before entering the comments section below.

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
Looks very charming. I'll never get enough of Toriyama's art style.
Still can’t believe a game and a movie is being made after all these years. It’s one of the early mangas I read back in the day.
Looks nice enough but please don’t let EVERY review include a Star Wars related sand “joke” that the reviewer thought was not only extremely clever but also highly original and THEY were the first ones to use it so they’re definitely not copying …
Beating up drifters, stealing tanks and taking down dinosaurs with rockets. Sounds too fun to me so I'll go back to my Call of Duty.
I came to this article to make a Star Wars joke and was dismayed to see that the author and another commenter had got there first
Pushsquare articles seriously really need “ “ around the game’s name in their articles, I shouldn’t have to read 1 sentence 4 times to figure out what it is I’m reading.😝
Looks charming and fun enough! In an era of indie slash AA gaming rising, I def keeping an eye on this one!
The Doom-esque music during the chase scene caught me off guard lol.
The game looks like a fun time.
Its DBZ meeting Mad Max in an action RPG, this wll be really fun.
Take my wife take my children! Give me the game now!
Definitely something I'm willing to play
Borderlands hack and slash?
looks surprisingly competent for a lisensed game... one of which just dropped out of the blue recently with little to no marketing. this could be a surprise hit for dbz fans. that said, the opening setpiece with the sandworm — did that really need to be such a tedious, by the numbers gameplay sequence? hopefully the game isn't littered with such scenarios where the player has "control" but there is nothing to do or engage with haha.
