Ubisoft leaks Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope release date

Nintendo is set to go live with a 25 minute long 3rd-party Nintendo Direct later today. Unfortunately, it seems one of the planned announcements leaked ahead of time, by none other than the game’s publisher. Ubisoft seemingly accidentally announced the release date of the upcoming Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope.

Though it has since been taken down (and archived by Twitter user Nibel), Ubisoft updated its store front to reveal that Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is launching exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on the 20th of October 2022, just 4 short months away.

What’s more, the game is set to get a ‘GOLD EDITION’ as is typical with most Ubisoft titles. Though no price was shown, the Gold Edition will come with the base game as well as “the Galactic Prestige Pack, with three exclusive and supremely stylish weapon skins for your team, unlockable right away. Save the galaxy, but do it with pizzazz!”

More interestingly however, the Gold Edition also includes the game’s Season Pass, which is said to contain “upcoming DLC packs, including additional story content featuring new heroes, quests, and battles.”

2017’s Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle saw its fair share of downloadable content released in the form of the rather expansive Donkey Kong Adventure DLC. Initially, this DLC was planned to be quite small in nature, before the game’s success led to the team expanding its scope. With Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope already looking to be bigger and better than the first game, hopefully its DLC is equally as elevated.
