Action-RPG Sand Land, from manga legend Akira Toriyama, releases in just a few months from now on April 26.

Sand Land will be a day one launch for PC,PS5, andXbox Series X/S, as well as the last-gen PS4 and Xbox One systems. It might be an action-RPG, but apparentlyBandai Namco’s new game has a lot of vehicle-based combat, and not just in land dominated by sand, if the clip below is anything to go by.

That’s the ‘Hovercar’ you can see in the brief clip, according to thePlayStation Blog. This sort of seems like the base vehicle in Sand Land - it can cover gaps in the land with pretty decent speed, and can drive through tough terrain, but it also has miniguns for rapid suppressing fire.

The heavier version of this is the ‘Hover Tank,’ complete with its big cannon. The blog post claims vehicles can be customized with “hundreds” of parts, including primary and secondary weapons, engines, and even suspension parts. You can uncover new vehicle parts from dungeons and treasure chests as well.
