Just off the backs of the recent release date announcement for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope during the Nintendo Direct Mini, Ubisoft has unveiled some brand new tactical gameplay for the sequel. The news came about during a follow-up showcase event earlier today, which was entirely focused on showing off the game’s combat, as well as a few other surprises.
In the videos below, Ubisoft displayed some of the exciting new worlds that players will be able to explore, which include new side stories, full exploration, and a gaggle of interesting new playable characters and enemy Cursa.
