Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope was revealed at E3 digital event and it looks great. Development seems to be going quite good as well.
Italian website Multiplayer got a chance to chat with Davide Soliani, the Creative Director of Ubisoft Milan, and Associate Producer at Ubisoft, Cristina Nava, about the project.
2022 is still a vague release date but both Ubisoft employees shared a little about what fans can expect from the sequel to the well-received Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.Â
Highlights from the Multiplayer interview
- The team composition doesn’t have any limits this time around, you can go all rabbids or all mushroom kingdom if you so chose (this was said to be one of multiple fan demands/suggestions the team took very seriously).
- The player seemingly has no limit of movement within the movement range.
- The development team and general scope of the project as stated previously has grown considerably, the previous game was handled by Ubisoft Milan and Paris with a team of just over 100 devs, this time around other Ubisoft subsidiaries are involved and the team is three times as big.
- Free camera.
- The exploration element is less linear, but the game isn’t Open World.
