## [](#hal-laboratory-about-2021-plans)HAL Laboratory about 2021 plans

**Tadashi Kawai** We at HAL Laboratory will continue to deliver games in 2021 filled with three key values: surprise, fun, and warmth. Thank you very much.

**Teruhiko Suzuki** In 2021, I want to release another kind of weird game from HAL Egg! And please play Part-Time UFO! It’s a fun game that you’ll absolutely enjoy! Let me know what you think!

**Yumi Todo** We’ll keep working hard on our goal in 2021. That is, for as many people as possible to enjoy Kirby \[games\]. We have plans not only for games but also for merchandise, books, and a variety of events like with the Kirby Cafe. We hope you’ll continue to support both Kirby and HAL Laboratory in 2021!

### [](#hal-means-kirby)HAL means Kirby

Let’s be honest when we say HAL we all think about one specific pink pluff, the beloved Kirby. What could he get up to in 2021? He has already been up to a lot on Nintendo Switch, at least if you consider him also being on Nintendo Switch Online, where he is available in his best SNES games; Kirby’s Dream Land 3, Kirby’s Dream Course, Kirby Super Star.

What are you hoping for when it comes to Kirby?
