Update 6/12/21 at 4:30pm EDT: It’s official, Ubisoft announces Mario + Rabbids sequel. New details added to original leak.

It’s not a party until something is leaked and this one came before E3 kicked off. Mario and those crazy Rabbids are teaming back up for the Nintendo Switch since its first game, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle in 2017. Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope announced to release in 2022 for the Nintendo Switch. The game leaked before Ubisoft’s E3 2021 event from Nintendo’s product page (oops!) but now it’s official on Ubisoft’s website.

Players will 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 eclectic 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 your allies, and hide behind covers.
