News: Mario and the Rabbids have teamed up in a new adventure to try and save the Mushroom Kingdom.

Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is now available on the Nintendo Switch. This new Switch game follows Mario and the irreverent Rabbids on a journey to save the Mushroom Kingdom, in a new turn-based combat adventure.

“Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is truly a passion project from the development team and we can’t wait for players to get their hands on the game,” said Tony Key, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Consumer Experience, Ubisoft. “The response from fans has been tremendous and we believe the game is a must-have for Nintendo Switch owners.”

Developed by Ubisoft Milan and Ubisoft Paris, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle features Mario, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Luigi and four Rabbid heroes taking on combat, puzzles and exploration across four iconic worlds. In the campaign, players will form a team of three heroes from a roster of eight diverse characters, each with their own unique personalities and skill sets, ensuring that battles play out differently with each team combination. Using strategic vision and a collection of more than 250 weapons with unique characteristics, players have multiple ways to secure victory.

The game’s additional local co-op challenges, available in two levels of difficulty, allows players to join forces with a friend and take on new challenges with a team of four heroes. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle takes full advantage of the play anywhere, anytime ability of the Nintendo Switch, with battles playable on-the-go or at home. In addition, players will be able to unlock new in-game features with their amiibo figures.
