New Kirby Air Riders Trailer Showcases Action-Packed Racing and Ability Copying on November 20th

Nintendo is promoting a new exclusive title, Kirby Air Riders, slated for release on November 20th. The announcement follows the launch of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity on Nintendo Switch 2. A seven-minute trailer highlights the key features of the game, developed by Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Kirby and Super Smash Bros. Kirby Air Riders is an action-packed racer—not merely a Mario Kart clone—that incorporates Kirby's signature ability-copying mechanic. Players can race as Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Magolor, and more than 20 other characters, using a simplified two-button control scheme. Characters can copy enemies' abilities to attack opponents and gain a competitive edge. Fans can view the trailer to see the game in action.
