For those who haven’t had their fill of Kirby Air Riders information ahead of its launch next month, Nintendo has announced a second dedicated Direct for the racing title. It airs on October 23rd at 6 AM PT and lasts about 60 minutes. Once again, director Masahiro Sakurai will be on hand to discuss the title.

It’s intriguing considering the last Direct ran for about 45 minutes and offered tons of information, including a peek at the different racers, their abilities, various Machines, and a few tracks. Sakurai even delved into the returning City Trial, which supports up to 16 players and mixes battle royale mechanics with competitive mini-games.

What could the next Direct have in store? Time will tell, so stay tuned for more details later this week. Kirby Air Riders launches on November 20th for Nintendo Switch 2. It retails for $69.99 and will launch alongside new amiibo for Kirby and Bandana Dee with swappable vehicles. Head here for more details.
