Nintendo's announced Western release date for the third title in the Boxboy franchise reveals that the game is coming soon, but it might be the final title for the puzzle-platformer.

Bye-Bye Boxboy! is HAL Laboratory's third, and possibly last, installment in the puzzle-platforming series. Launching exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS eShop, Bye-Bye Boxboy! will be released on March 23.

Nintendo's announcement on Twitter also points out that the game is number three in the Boxboy trilogy, which would suggest it's going to be the last title in the series.

Bye-Bye Boxboy! follows Qbby, a square-shaped character who must be guided through levels by solving box-connecting puzzles. The game released in Japan on February 2, 2017.

Previous installments in the franchise, Boxboy and BoxBoxBoy released in 2015 and 2016 respectively. In February, Qbby got his own amiibo, but it has yet to come to the West.
