Template:Game Kirby: Battle Royale (Japanese: カービィ バトルデラックス！ Kirby Battle Deluxe!) is an upcoming action-multiplayer spin-off game for the Nintendo 3DS. It is set to release on November 30th, 2017 in Japan and January 19th, 2018 in North America.

Overview

The basic premise of Battle Royale pits Kirby against several different clones of himself in various competitive games. These range from fights using Copy Abilities in the vain of Kirby Fighters Deluxe, but instead done in a 3-D space - to games where Kirbys try to collect gems and apples - to Boss battles where Kirbys compete to deal the most damage. At least 10 different game modes have been confirmed.

Each of these game-modes will feature both local and online multiplayer, making this the first entry in the Kirby series to have full online multiplayer, complete with matchmaking and a global ranking system. There will also be a single player adventure mode which features King Dedede in prominent speaking roles.

More information will surface as the release date approaches.

Copy Abilities

The following Copy Abilities have been confirmed to appear in this title:

• Beetle
• Bomb
• Cutter
• Doctor
• Fighter
• Hammer
• Ice
• Ninja
• Parasol
• Spear
• Sword
• Tornado
• Whip

Several of the abilities appear to be heavily re-worked for a 3-D space, including the Ice ability being able to create icy barriers, and the Tornado ability allowing Kirby to create a torrent that tosses other Kirbys around him into the air.
