The Switch 2 game in question that’s about to reach the end of its post-launch support is that of Kirby Air Riders. The long-awaited sequel to the Nintendo GameCube game Kirby Air Ride launched last month on November 20th and, for the most part, has been quite well-received by fans. Despite this, the game’s director previously made clear that there would be no DLC for Kirby Air Riders that would come about after its release. Now, this limited post-launch support is known to also extend to future updates for the game.
In a recent post on social media, Kirby Air Riders director Masahiro Sakurai said that the development team behind the game is preparing to disband. Prior to doing so, though, a handful of additional updates for Air Riders will go live that will look to make the game as balanced as possible for those who play it in the years to come. Once these updates are released, though, this will be all that will be done with Kirby Air Riders for good.
“As discussed in Air Riders Direct 2, Kirby Air Riders does not have a production setup for DLC or anything like that. The team will be disbanding in the near future,” Sakurai said. “Therefore, while we still have a short period of time to make adjustments, we’re aiming for a balance that can be enjoyed without issues even years from now. We might be able to tweak it one more time or so, but after that, please enjoy it as the completed balance!”
