This year marked 40 years since HAL Laboratory – the Japanese developer behind the long-running Kirby series.
In 2020, it was launched Kirby Fighters 2 on Switch and brought over the title Part-time UFO to the hybrid system. What happens then for 2021?
In a recent interview with 4Gamer, three company executives teased new games, merchandise and even events. Here is the translation from Siliconera (thanks, Oni_Dino):
Tadashi Kawai:
“We at HAL Lab will continue to deliver games in 2021, full of three key values: surprise, fun and warmth. Thank you very much”.
Teruhiko Suzuki:
“In 2021, I want to launch another weird type of game from HAL Egg! And please play Part-time UFO! It’s a fun game that you will absolutely enjoy! Tell me what you think! “
Yumi Everything:
“We will continue to work hard on our goal in 2021. That is, to make as many people as possible happy. Kirby [games]. We have plans not only for games, but also for merchandise, books and a variety of events, such as Kirby Cafe. We hope you will continue to support both Kirby Lab and HAL Lab in 2021! “
