The Nintendo site leaking this title did little to dampen the excitement of fans as Ubisoft has announced that Mario, Rabbid Peach, and their friends are back in a cosmic adventure in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, which will be available on the Nintendo Switch in 2022.

Players will embark on an epic journey to restore order as Cursa, a mysterious and malevolent entity, twists the planets with its evil influence. They will explore incredible worlds and fight enemies in innovative combats mixing turn-based tactics and real-time movements with their extravagant team of heroes.

On your adventure, travel and explore a variety of planets filled with strange inhabitants and hilarious secrets. Outwit enemies along the way in an innovative combat system mixing turn-based tactics and real-time action. Take control of your Heroes to dash enemies, team jump on allies, hide behind cover… and make the most out of each turn in tactical and dynamic fights.

During the recently concluded Ubisoft Forward livestream, a short gameplay sneak peek trailer was unveiled, giving us a look at how this new adventure will unfold as players can create their dream team of three Heroes from an eclectic roster of nine to face surprising bosses, familiar enemies from the Mario universe and exceptional Rabbids in their cosmic quest.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope will launch in 2022 for the Nintendo Switch.
