Nintendo Reveals Kirby Air Riders, 2025 Nintendo Switch 2 Release Set

The Nintendo Switch 2 is already shaping up to be one of the most eventful releases for a platform. At launch, players can already expect big releases such as Mario Kart World. That is not all: there is also the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack exclusive perk, GameCube Virtual Library. That is also launching this June as well.

In terms of new releases, Nintendo already revealed that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is on the way for Nintendo Switch 2 also. Aiming for a winter release follows more of the Warriors-like game play of the prior entries. And, in 2026 FromSoftware is set to launch its new IP exclusive for Nintendo Switch 2, The Duskbloods. From the footage, it answers the cries for Bloodborne that has been echoing for nearly a decade.

Additionally, Nintendo also reveals a new installment in the Kirby Air Rider series is on the way, Kirby Air Riders. You can watch the reveal trailer in the video below:

“Kirby Air Riders, a brand-new title originated from the Nintendo GameCube classic racing-action game Kirby Air Ride, and Masahiro Sakurai, the director of the Super Smash Bros. series, was announced for release this year. The trailer revealed a dramatic introduction of Kirby on his Warp Star machine and other Kirby air riders on a variety of unique machines, as they joined together on a racetrack,” the press release shares.

Also this year, Nintendo is set to launch Drag x Drive as well for Nintendo Switch 2. In the new basketball title, the system’s mouse controls will go hand-in-hand with the new experience coming later this summer. You can read the full report by heading here.
