Sand Land Demo Now Available on PC and Consoles

Today, Bandai Namco has released a demo for the upcoming open world action RPG Sand Land. Developed by ILCA, the same studio that made One Piece Odyssey, Sand Land is based on a manga series created in 2000 by Akira Toriyama. Given the recent passing of the legendary artist, the game slated to launch in five weeks will be all the more special.

The demo includes only a limited part of the explorable world. There's no story, either, but you can check out playable characters like Beelzebub, Rao, and Thief, as well as vehicles like Battle Tank, Battle Armor, and Motorbike.

The demo can be downloaded now on PC via Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The full game will be available on April 26.

Consumable items can increase your attack, defense, and help you recover power of darkness, so make sure to stock up. Also, water is an important resource that you can restock in water supply points and will be consumed to heal your health in case you are about to be defeated.

All vehicles in Sand Land have unique features. The jump bot will bounce over high cliffs, the hover car can float over water to cross dangerous rivers, and the battle armor can move heavy obstacles to open blocked paths. Remember: you can carry up
