Update:Nintendo has now confirmed that Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope will officially launch on October 20th, 2022 for Nintendo Switch. Similarly, Bowser was confirmed to be a new playable character. More details will be revealed during Ubisoft’s own showcase on July 29th,2022

Original Story:Ubisoft has seemingly leaked the release date for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope onNintendo Switchahead of today’s Nintendo Direct presentation.

It appears that the developer published the release date on itsofficial storeearlier than planned with anyone concerned that the upcoming Mario game wouldn’t make its intended 2022 release date, now able to rest easy. According to the page, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is scheduled to release on October 20th, 2022.

With Splatoon 3 set to launch in September and Pokémon Scarlet / Violet due for November, this date makes a lot of sense, as Nintendo likes to aim for at least one major release every month. The first game, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, originally launched in August 2017 and has gone on to accumulate at least two million sales in its first year.

October is now looking very stacked for major video game releases if this date proves true. A few examples of titles launching during the month include Overwatch 2, Forspoken, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2,Gotham Knights, A Plague Tale: Requiem and Marvel’s Midnight Suns. Throw in a Mario game and it’s going to be quite a busy few weeks.
