I didn’t have to play a lot of Mario Kart Tour to search out out it’s not for me: however even if you happen to’re nonetheless having fun with it, the race is coming to an finish within the close to future. In accordance with a brand new in-game notification straight from Nintendo (by way of OatmealDome), new content material for Mario Kart Tour will stop to return out from October 4, 2023 onward.

Right here’s the complete wording from Nintendo:

“From 10/04/2023 (Wed) on, excursions will include content material from excursions which have appeared earlier than. Notice: No new programs, drivers, karts, or gliders will likely be added following the Battle Tour beginning 10/04/2023 (Wed). We hope you proceed to get pleasure from enjoying Mario Kart Tour.”

Nicely, that’s fairly definitive! I really like how Nintendo clarified “programs, drivers, karts, or gliders” simply to let of us know that there is no such thing as a hope of recent content material coming to the sport post-October. That is only a few weeks following the fourth anniversary of the sport’s launch on September 25, 2019.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will keep on the legacy of Mario Kart Tour’s few vivid spots

Funnily sufficient, chunk of the sport’s programs have already been ported over to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, so even when the microtransaction-filled sport goes offline completely, its legacy will nonetheless dwell on in some kind. Although it kicked off years in the past, it’s nonetheless so bizarre to see Nintendo entering into the cellular sport with gacha fodder and loot bins.
