What Is Kirby and the Forgotten Land?

In the initial trailer, the world of Kirby and the Forgotten Land looks very much like our own, but the buildings and public spaces are overgrown with plant life. Animals roam freely, but no humans appear to be anywhere around. Cut to waves lapping on a beach, and Kirby wakes up on the sand as though just washed ashore.

Kirby then wanders into the overgrown urban landscape, and we see parts of the road are destroyed, as are the walls of some buildings, leaving rubble and rebar strewn about. Despite the apparent destruction, animals and standard Kirby enemies appear. The music is still the typical upbeat, joyful type from previous non-apocalyptic Kirby games.

And perhaps strangest of all, the whole colorful world is 3D. This is the first time we've gotten a full 3D Kirby platformer. It's like Mario going 3D in the '90s or Dylan going electric in the '60s. It's a big deal for longtime Kirby fans.
