The Tokyo Game Show 2023 presents a significant opportunity for "Sand Land," a short manga by Akira Toriyama released at the beginning of the 2000s. This time, instead of detailing gameplay mechanics, a Story Trailer is being showcased that outlines the stakes, introduces characters, and develops the narrative plot. The trailer also provides an appreciation for the visual style, which adheres closely to traditional manga aesthetics with a pronounced cel-shading effect, contributing to visually appealing graphics. What remains is to be convinced by the gameplay and its apparently open-world environment. While there is no release date available at this time, it has been confirmed that "Sand Land" will be released on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, and Xbox One.
