Released on Nintendo Switch in 2022, *Kirby and the Forgotten Land* left a significant mark. This debut 3D adventure for the iconic pink hero offered a substantial campaign, rich in features, alongside ample post-game activities. The experience is now further enhanced by the *Star-Crossed World* expansion, which provides even more content for players who own a Nintendo Switch 2.
The *Star-Crossed World* expansion invites players to revisit familiar levels, now reimagined with new pathways and environments, all while unraveling the secrets of a mysterious fallen meteor. However, access to this DLC isn`t immediate; you`ll first need to advance a certain degree into *Kirby and the Forgotten Land*`s main story.
Accessing the Star-Crossed World DLC in Kirby and the Forgotten Land
To dive into *Star-Crossed World*, you must first acquire the *Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World* package for Nintendo Switch 2. Existing owners of the original game can upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, which bundles the DLC, for $20. New players can purchase the complete package, including both the base game and the expansion, for $80.
After securing the game, your initial task is to progress through the prologue and then fully complete the Natural Plains biome. This biome represents the game`s opening set of levels and concludes with a definitive boss encounter against a formidable giant gorilla, signaling its completion.
Upon successfully clearing Natural Plains, you will gain access to the Starry Stages. These stages are the central feature of the *Star-Crossed World* expansion, offering fresh challenges and new collectibles that will undoubtedly provide you and Kirby with plenty of engagement. Enjoy your new adventures!
*Kirby and the Forgotten Land* is currently available for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. However, the *Star-Crossed World* expansion is an exclusive feature for the Nintendo Switch 2.
