One of the latest titles based on Akira Toriyama’s work was Sand Land, developed by Ilca and distributed by Bandai Namco. In a recent interview with FandomWire, the producer of the game, Keishu Minami, talked about how honored he was to work on a project based on a manga by Toriyama.
In the game, the main focus is desert and vehicular warfare and combat, but at some point, in the title, this changes. Minami discussed these changes and was eager for the fans to see the differences once the map completely changed after the first half of the game.

One of late Akira Toriyama’s most interesting Japanese manga series Sand Land might have been fairly underrated or neglected in the past. However, that has changed in the past couple of years. The attempt to celebrate Toriyama’s work includes the release of a movie and an anime that has helped push the series.

Another latest endeavor to further expand the reach of the series is the upcoming video game adaptation. The game adaptation of Sand Land is being developed by Ilca. Interestingly, it is the team that worked on last year’s One Piece Odyssey. The upcoming game will explore how Fiend Prince and his companion’s adventures bring life back to a desolate wasteland.
Makers want Sand Land to reach a larger audience
In an interview with The Gamer, Sand Land‘s producer, Keishu Minami, spilled the tea about adapting and expanding Akira Toriyama’s manga.

Japanese manga artist and character designer, Akira Toriyama, suddenly passed away earlier last month. After his death, the popular creator will be receiving his first posthumous tribute in the upcoming Sand Land game. The game is based on Toriyama’s manga series of the same name.
Sand Land Manga
The game is developed by Ilca and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It will bring Toriyama’s manga to life on April 25, 2024, on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC.
The original Sand Land story has been expanded
Sand Land being adapted into a game is not surprising since it is the legendary Toriyama’s work. However, when the news of its adaptation first broke out, it raised some eyebrows. This was mainly because Sand Land is relatively short. It is based on a deliberately brief and linear plot with only 14 chapters.

Sand Land, an upcoming open-world action-adventure game from Bandai Namco, honors the legendary Akira Toriyama by joining a long line of games featuring characters created by the artist. With Toriyama’s recent passing, the game takes on special meaning as it might be the last game to include his one-of-a-kind character designs outside new Dragon Ball Z or Dragon Quest titles.
Toriyama’s characters are famous for their expressive faces, which makes bringing his 2D drawings into 3D a tricky task. The game’s creators recently shed light on what they encountered while taking on the challenge.
