Kirby Air Riders Music Confirmed for Nintendo Music Ahead of Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 Details Revealed

Nintendo fans are gearing up for the much-anticipated Kirby Air Riders-themed Nintendo Direct, set to stream today at 2pm UK time and 6am PT.

As excitement builds around this latest showcase, dedicated followers of the Kirby franchise and Nintendo hardware developments have even more reason to tune in, thanks to an unintentional early reveal from Nintendo. Earlier in the day, Nintendo inadvertently disclosed that the musical tracks from Kirby Air Riders, the flagship title developed for the Nintendo Switch 2, will soon be available through the Nintendo Music application.

This official confirmation means players will be able to enjoy the new soundtrack ahead of the game’s full debut, a move that often precedes imminent game launches in Nintendo's established marketing cycle. While Nintendo has not officially confirmed a firm release date for Kirby Air Riders, the sudden appearance of the game’s music assets on Nintendo Music strongly suggests that the launch date is approaching rapidly.

Historically, Nintendo has synced the introduction of in-game soundtracks into its platforms with near-term release timelines, signaling that fans may not have to wait long to play the new title on Nintendo Switch 2. According to statements available from Nintendo’s official channels, the company emphasized their enthusiasm for integrating Kirby Air Riders music into the Nintendo Music application, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the creative score even before the game's release.

This practice highlights Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to delivering robust entertainment experiences through its digital platforms and supporting content like Nintendo Music. Kirby Air Riders marks a significant addition to the Nintendo Switch 2’s growing portfolio of exclusive titles.

Developed and published by Nintendo, the game continues the legacy of Kirby’s dynamic, fast-paced racing adventures, a tradition dating back to the GameCube era.

The Switch 2 hardware introduces enhanced performance capabilities that promise richer visuals and smoother multiplayer experiences, leveraging the platform's next-generation features. With the arrival of today’s Nintendo Direct, further details—including possible launch dates, gameplay features, and insight into the Kirby Air Riders development process—are expected to be revealed.

As always, major announcements will be available through official Nintendo Direct streams and the Nintendo eShop for global audiences. For now, the confirmed addition of Kirby Air Riders music to Nintendo Music signals an exciting step closer to one of this year’s most awaited releases.
