Nintendo has announced that the upcoming Battle Tour will be the last update for Mario Kart Tour, signaling the end of new content for the mobile game. However, the game will still be accessible and playable on mobile devices. This news, coupled with rumors of an upcoming Nintendo Direct, has sparked speculation about the future of the Mario Kart series.
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| Oct. 4 | Battle Tour begins |
| Oct. 18 | Halloween Tour starts |
Despite the lack of new updates, players can still enjoy Mario Kart Tour through online play or solo mode. Additionally, some of the game’s tracks have been incorporated into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe via the Booster Course Pass, available for purchase on the Nintendo eShop.
The final wave of the Booster Course Pass for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has yet to be released, leaving fans curious about its contents. Previous waves have included two courses from Mario Kart Tour, suggesting that the mobile game will continue to thrive through its Switch counterpart.
In previous Battle Tours, players had to choose a side led by two characters and earn points in races to contribute to their team’s overall score. It remains unknown which characters will be featured in the final Tour.
Nintendo has also announced a Halloween Tour starting on Oct. 18, following the Battle Tour. Although it will not introduce new content, it is expected to offer Halloween-themed racers, cosmetics, and courses from previous years. The company has not provided a schedule for future repeated tours, but the end of new content may result in longer tour seasons.
While there is no official announcement about an upcoming Nintendo Direct, it is likely that one will reveal the details of the last wave of the Booster Course Pass. However, news regarding the future of the franchise may not be ready for release at this time.
