Ubisoft may have just dropped a big hint that the Nintendo Switch 2 is real and set to release in the near future while discussing the sluggish sales of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope.
During an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot indicated that Nintendo had advised the French publisher to wait to release the sequel to 2017’s Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle until the Nintendo Switch’s successor was available. This was advice Ubisoft ultimately ignored, as Sparks of Hope launched in December 2022 to strong reviews but lackluster sales.
