As a game's release approaches, it's common for developers to release an Overview Trailer to give us a quick look at the many aspects the game has to offer, so we can understand what kind of title it is. Nintendo is now following suit with an Overview Trailer dedicated to Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.

It launches on May 21, and in the video overview, we get to check out the mysterious book that forms the basis of the story, as well as Yoshi's new abilities (including several features he hasn't had before), take a look at enemies, get a tour of the game world, and check out plenty of gameplay, and more. Plus, it looks like we can look forward to a very promising soundtrack.

Check out the video below. As mentioned, it premieres on May 21, exclusively on Switch 2.
