Kirby: Event Horizon is an upcoming Kirby game for the Wii U. It is to be released on 2017.

The game introduces a fully three-dimensional plane for areas for the first time, while past Kirby games were always sidescrolling platformers. As in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby Triple Deluxe, the game also features a special, strong ability that is often required to be used to progress in the game, known as Void.

Story

TBA

Gameplay

The game takes place on a three-dimensional plane, which has not been seen in a Kirby game before. The concept is partially inspired by the cancelled Kirby GCN.

The game's worlds feature structures similar to the world in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror; there the area is a large stage consisting of a large amount of rooms connected by many doors. Unlike Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, however, the game does feature seperate levels.

Another feature is the inclusion of 4 player characters as in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, taking the same 4 characters. Instead of being limited to only Kirby in single player mode, the player may now choose any of the 4 characters before starting a level.

Characters

Four playable characters are featured in Kirby: Event Horizon, being the same four that were playable in Kirby’s Return to Dream Land. However, in this game, the player may choose any of the four to play as which means player 1 is no longer forced to play as Kirby. Every character has their own strengths and weaknesses, and some of these may be required to reach special locations or treasures.

Playable Characters
Kirby can inhale enemies to get a Copy Ability based on their powers. He can also fly without limit.	Meta Knight shares most of his move with the Sword ability, although he is slightly faster. His jump is not as high as Kirby's, however. He can fly without limit as well. Other moves include sliding on the floor, which also deals damage to enemies.	King Dedede shares most of his moves with the Hammer ability. He can also inhale enemies, although it won't grant him their powers. He can jump without limit.	Waddle Dee's moves are mostly the same as that of the Spear ability. Unlike the others, he can only jump twice; however, he can twirl his spear around to fly, even for a longer time than the Spear ability is able to do so.

Copy Abilities

New Abilities

The game features three new Copy Abilities, being Bone, Thunder, and Scissors.

New Abilities

Void Kirby

Void Kirby is a major, new, special ability that Kirby can use occasionally throughout the game. It is similar to Hypernova, Robobot Armour, or the Super Abilities, in that it provides Kirby of a great strength that he needs to use to progress through certain parts in specific stages. The Void ability can collide with regular enemies and absorb their abilities, which will give Void Kirby new mixed abilities.

Bolide	A combination of Fire and Void, Bolide will give Kirby tremendous Fire powers. Being in this form will melt any ice, and will weaken enemies by getting nearby.
