The Mario x Rabbids RPG is coming to Switch!

Among many games going to be released for the Switch, Mario x Rabbids Kingdom Battle is among the big ones and is very anticipated. The game itself has been speculated for a while, and has been recently confirmed with the released art. The concept of the Mario x Rabbids RPG game is that it will blend Nintendo’s famous plumber (and his friends) with characters from Ubisoft’s Rabbids series, which is also a very popular one.

Back in August and September last year, the first rumors about this collaboration of a game came about. Back then, it was considered a “bizarre” project, with strange choice of collaboration. According to what was hinted back then, Ubisoft was the one to develop this game, using Snowdrop engine. The game’s main attractions are: a turn-based combat, a local two-player co-op mode, and of course, a kind of goofy sense of humor, befitting the characters included in the game. The arts, which were not revealed, are said to illustrate Mario and his pals wielding laser beam-shooting guns.

Apparently, these are the characters that have been confirmed to be featured in the game: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, and four Rabbids dressed as the formers. Which is quite a unique design choice. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was first reported by Laura Kate Dale, who became famous for leaking a lot of details about the Nintendo Switch, and many of that became true when the device launched. At about the same time, a French website GameBlog also reported this, calling the game a “Yoshi / Rabbid Rabbits crossover”. It is likely this game will be introduced firstly at E3 this year.
