The latest collaboration between Nintendo and Ubisoft is here, and once again it sees both companies’ mascots team up for a turn-based tactical shooter in a similar vein to the XCOM series.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope follows on from Kingdom Battle (£18.95, Amazon.co.uk) and sees the infamous plumber and his friends jet off away from the Mushroom Kingdom to a new galactic setting to save their Spark companions.

The game was recently featured in the Ubisoft Forward event that also saw announcements for new Assassin’s Creed games as well as the upcoming Skull and Bones pirate-themed action-adventure.

At the event, it was also announced that additional content would be coming to the Nintendo Switch game that would feature one of Ubisoft’s other longstanding mascots, Rayman.

The game is scheduled to be released on 20 October 2022 for Nintendo Switch platforms and in the mean time we’ve found some of the best pre-order deals for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Keep reading to find out more.
