Kirby Air Riders is set to receive a second Kirby Air Riders Direct hosted by Masahiro Sakurai, Nintendo confirmed. This announcement was made during today’s Nintendo Direct. No specific date was shared at this time, but Nintendo will share information on the timing on social media at a later date.

This successor to 2003’s Kirby Air Ride offers many new features, including a wide range of playable characters across the Kirby series, a variety of machines, and more. City Trial is set to return, and there are likely more surprises in store that we’ll learn about in the second Direct presentation.

An overview of the game can be found below via Nintendo:

“Pick your rider, pick your machine, and mount up for competition! Take on your rivals in frantic arena battles or fast-paced races on the ground and in the air. Use the Boost Charge button to brake and control your turns as your machine automatically fights for top speed. Fill your Boost Charge Gauge as you drift around the bend and release it to trigger an explosive dash!”

Kirby Air Riders is set to launch on November 20 for Nintendo Switch 2.
