Before he passed away, Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama was full of praise for action RPG Sand Land: "It greatly expands the worldview of the original manga"

The action RPG Sand Land is set to launch worldwide this week, but ahead of that, a statement on the game written by the late Dragon Ball creator, as well as writer and illustrator of the Sand Land manga, Akira Toriyama, has been shared.

Toriyama sadly passed away in March at the age of 68, but he was still able to see plenty of what Sand Land had in store, and he was full of praise for it. The statement shared today on the official Sand Land Twitter account was composed in January, at which point Toriyama admitted that he'd not "watched through all of the gameplay yet," but said that the game "greatly expands the worldview of the original manga with many new exciting elements. It is high-quality as a standalone game and I can tell it is a highly satisfying action RPG game!"
