The rumored Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope game has just been leaked by none other than Nintendo through its own website, as noticed on ResetEra before the page was taken down.
A sequel to the critically acclaimed XCOM-like Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, it is expected to be fully unveiled later today during the Ubisoft Forward conference. However, Nintendo’s listing included a brief overview and a few screenshots of Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. We also learned that Ubisoft is targeting next year as release date win on the Nintendo Switch.
- 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.
When Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle launched in September 2017, we rated it 7.8 out of 10.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle looks, plays and sounds better than you would’ve ever expected from such a confusing crossover - an interesting take on the X-COM formula that can start to feel tedious, but starts amazingly and will keep many players stuck into the turn-based strategy shooter.
