Kirby Air Riders release date now confirmed

During today’s Kirby Air Riders Direct, a release date was given for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 game. It will be available on November 20, 2025.

Kirby Air Riders received a blowout of footage, details, and more as part of today’s presentation. It was our first proper look at the title following the original announcement in April.

Here’s an overview of the game:

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!
