Although there are no current plans for Kirby Air Riders DLC, during the recent broadcast, game director Masahiro Sakurai has confirmed there will be a day one update.
Yes, like many other games nowadays, this patch will apparently be adding some of the “things” discussed during the latest broadcast.
Masahiro Sakurai: “Some of the things I covered today will be implemented via a day one update, so be sure to download the update if you’re planning to buy the physical version.”
Previous Nintendo releases, such as Mario Kart World, have sometimes released day one updates to enable access to online play and activate certain features. It seems like there might be a similar update for Kirby Air Riders, based on a translated message on the game’s Japanese store page listing:
Notice from the manufacturer “Update data is required to play via internet or local communication.”
So, if you are picking up a physical copy of Kirby’s new game, expect a download on release. And when Nintendo shares the official patch notes, we’ll provide an update.
