Nintendo’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was very successful at launch. Its gameplay was familiar yet innovative and, by nature, this game naturally attracted players. But it was a Nintendo Switch Re-release of a Wii U game.

Fans who were loving their time with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe recently started wondering if Nintendo is actually working on a new game in the series. There were numerous rumors and a number of leaks too. And indeed, Nintendo was working on something Mario Kart-related, but it was a DLC pass for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and not a new game altogether.
