Nintendo reconfirms that Kirby Air Riders will release this year

There are still no gameplay trailers, no screenshots and just about no details out there for Masahiro Sakurai's upcoming Kirby Air Riders, but Nintendo has once again reiterated that the game will release this year.

In Nintendo's latest financial report, the company once again listed Kirby Air Riders as a software title scheduled for release in 2025. Check out the page from the Financial Results Explanatory Material document below.

While fans have been skeptical of Air Riders releasing this year, it should be noted that Nintendo is historically a company that announces release dates typically three months before the launch of a major title. Additionally, Nintendo has yet to declare its autumn and winter release schedule. Aside from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, no other major 2025 first-party game release has been locked in with a launch date. This even includes Metroid Prime 4 and Splatoon Raiders.

When an official Kirby Air Riders release date is revealed, we will keep you all informed! In the meantime, when do you think the game will release? Are you a fan who thinks a delay will be announced? Let us know in the comments!
