What's Happening?
The development team behind Kirby Air Riders, a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, is set to disband soon, according to a social media post by the game's director, Masahiro Sakurai. The team recently released a major update, Version 1.2.0, which may be one of the last significant patches for the game. Sakurai mentioned that there might be one more round of balance adjustments, but no further updates or DLC are planned. The game was designed to include all content from the start, and the latest patch includes general updates, balance adjustments, and bug fixes.
Why It's Important?
The disbanding of the Kirby Air Riders development team marks the end of ongoing support and updates for the game, which could impact its longevity and player engagement. For fans of the game, this
means that any existing issues or desired features will likely remain unaddressed. The decision to end updates reflects a broader industry trend where game developers move on to new projects after initial post-launch support. This development may influence consumer expectations regarding long-term support for future Nintendo titles.
