We’ve seen quite a bit of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope since it was announced in June 2021, but the June 28 Nintendo Direct gave us our best look yet at the upcoming sequel to 2017s Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. There was a new trailer that showed off how Spark of Hope’s new free movement system will work, revealed Bowser as a playable squad member, and finally gave us an official release date — October 20, to be exact. It also signaled the start of preorders, and there are a couple of options to choose from.
