Recently, it was confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will no longer be a Nintendo Switch launch title, and that the next Mario game might mark the release for Nintendo’s big device. It’s possible that we know what that game might be, after all.
According to a report by LetsPlayVideoGames, the Switch will launch alongside a turn-based RPG which is possibly a Raving Rabbigs x Mario crossover, currently under development by Ubisoft.
There is no official title yet, but the codename/working title for the game seems to be Mario RPG: Invasion of the Rabbids. The game is closely monitored by Nintendo to ensure that it’s ready by the launch day and adheres to the Mario maker’s specifications regarding the depiction of Mario characters and assets.
The report continues to say that the game will focus on the Mario universe being attacked by Ubisoft’s Rabbids, and will feature a new form of Bowser based on the Rabbids’ design. There will also be appearances by other beloved Mario characters, with a focus on Yoshi as a special party member.
The game will have a playable demo in January when Nintendo reveals more details about the Switch. It will include the controllers vibrating to indicate that the Rabbids jumping into and out of them to the screen, the idea being that your system is infested with Rabbids that can interfere with the gameplay at any time.
