Sand Land Soundtrack:- Developed by ILCA and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, Sand Land is an action role-playing video game based on the 2000 manga of the same name by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. It was released on April 26, 2024, following the 2023 Sand Land anime film adaptation that preceded it.
Sand Land is set in a desert world where humans and demons alike are suffering from a severe water shortage. The story follows the demon prince Beelzebub as he joins Sheriff Rao and the demon Thief in a search for a Legendary Spring rumored to hold the key to saving the land.
The game’s release carried extra weight for fans: Akira Toriyama passed away on March 1, 2024, roughly eight weeks before Sand Land launched, and Bandai Namco shared a final message he had written about the project shortly before his death.
