Kirby Air Riders Soundtrack Arrives Early on Nintendo Music App Ahead of November Release

Nintendo has taken an innovative approach in promoting its upcoming release, Kirby Air Riders, by unveiling a partial soundtrack on the Nintendo Music app well ahead of the game's official launch.

Fans can now enjoy a curated selection of seven tracks from the anticipated title, offering a unique glimpse into its musical direction and environmental themes before the game debuts in November 2024. Kirby Air Riders is developed by HAL Laboratory, the renowned studio behind the celebrated Kirby franchise.

Since its reveal, the game has generated considerable buzz among fans eager to experience Kirby’s return to high-speed, airborne racing on the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo's latest move to deliver select tracks through its proprietary music platform demonstrates a fresh level of engagement with its core audience, providing players with more content well before release day. The seven available tracks—"Starlit Journey (JP ver.)", "Floria Fields", "Waveflow Waters", "Steamgust Forge", "Mount Amberfalls", "Starlit Journey (EN ver.)", and a "Bonus Track"—showcase a variety of moods and settings emblematic of the Kirby universe.

These pieces offer a sample of what players can expect from the full Kirby Air Riders soundtrack, noted for its dynamic melodies and whimsical tones. A representative from Nintendo described the release as an opportunity for fans to connect with the game’s "musical landscape ahead of its official debut," highlighting the company’s commitment to enhancing the fan experience through digital access. The Nintendo Music app is accessible on both Android and iOS devices.

Subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online can download the app at no additional cost, ensuring easy access to the newly released Kirby Air Riders tracks and an ever-expanding catalog of Nintendo game music.

As of June 2024, the service continues to receive regular updates and has become a central hub for fans seeking official soundtracks from Nintendo’s diverse library of titles. While it has not yet been confirmed if the entire Kirby Air Riders soundtrack will be added to the app in the lead-up to launch, Nintendo has indicated that additional updates are possible.

The music drop aligns with Nintendo’s evolving approach to digital content distribution and community engagement, reinforcing its position at the forefront of the industry.

Fans can stay informed about further soundtrack releases and developments through official Nintendo channels and the Nintendo Music app’s dedicated update section.
