Mario & Rabbids Spark of Hope is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2022, but we weren’t supposed to know until (presumably) Ubisoft Forward. The news came via industry insider Nibel on Twitter who shared a link to the game on the official Nintendo website on Saturday afternoon. Thus proving that when it comes to E3 leaks Ubisoft really can’t catch a break.
The now removed listing contained a handful of screenshots alongside the briefest bit of information that we have transcribed below:
Team up with Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Luigi, and their friends on a galactic journey to defeat a malevolent entity and save your Spark companions. Explore planets throughout the galaxy as you uncover mysterious secrets and compelling quests!
- Build your dream team with three heroes from an electric roster of nine.
- Take down all new bosses, along with some familiar enemies throughout the galaxy
- Rescue the adorable Sparks throughout the galaxy, who provide distinct powers that will help you in battle.
- Unleash your heroes skills but be strategic as you dash your enemies, team jump on our allies, and hide behind covers.
A sequel to the surprising, Xcom-like, strategy game hit Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle which was released in 2017, Spark of Hope looks set to send Mario and friends on a space-faring adventure with the same silliness that could be found in the original game.
