Kirby Air Riders Direct taking place (very) late tonight

Staying up late? Setting an alarm? Or just waiting for a recap tomorrow?

A special Kirby Air Riders Direct will take place in the later hours of this evening, Nintendo has today confirmed.

The direct, as hosted with director Masahiro Sakurai, will start at 11.00 pm AEST tonight, 19 August, and run for 45 minutes total.

As far as what viewers can expect? Well, Nintendo’s not saying much.

“Watch this Kirby Air Riders Direct with director Masahiro Sakurai,” reads a statement from Nintendo. “The presentation lasts roughly 45 minutes and offers an in-depth look at the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 game.”

Regardless of whether you’re planning on staying up, waking up, or just watching this direct tomorrow after you wake up proper, you can check out the direct above.

Kirby Air Riders is expected sometime in 2025 on Switch 2. Maybe we’re getting a release date overnight?
