Ubisoft CEO admits Mario + Rabbids sequel 'should have waited' for next Nintendo console
At the time, Guillemot suggested the publisher's disappointing financial results reflected a consumer"shift towards mega-brands and long-lasting titles", but the CEO has now acknowledged Sparks of Hope's commercial failure was likely down to a"different issue"., Guillemot explained,"We had already released a Mario Rabbids game [on Switch], so by doing another we had two similar experiences on one machine. On Nintendo, games like this never die.
"Nintendo [has advised] that it's better to do one iteration on each machine," Guillemot continued."We were a bit too early, we should have waited for [the next console]." "Because you could play a great game," he added."And we think it will last for ten years, because we will update it for the new machine that will come in the future."
Ubisoft still has two more Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope expansions to release before development on the title comes to an end. Its second Season Pass DLC, The Last Spark Hunter, is "mid-2023" and a third, featuring the publisher's beloved limb-flinging mascot Rayman, launches toward the end of the year.Eurogamer welcomes videogamers of all types, so sign in and join our community!
