Kirby Air Riders was announced during the Direct for the Nintendo Switch 2 on April 2, 2025. The game will be directed by Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of the Kirby series. Sakurai hasn’t been a director for a Kirby game since the release of Kirby Air Ride in 2003. His return to the series could help draw in more customers who are fans of the series.
Kirby Air Riders doesn’t have a release date, with Nintendo only revealing it will launch sometime this year. Tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct will likely provide gamers with a hard release date for the game, as well as additional information.
