Donkey Kong has been slated to participate in Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle for quite some time now, but the details of when it would happen and exactly what that entails were unclear. Thanks to a recent Ubisoft announcement, we now know that the "Donkey Kong Adventure" DLC is due out sometime in June, as well as a few other things.
Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a match made in heaven, if heaven was some sort of madman's laboratory in France. Despite a bit of understandable confusion when the game was first announced, it was met with delight when it released back in August. Between the tight "X-COM lite" gameplay and playful interpretation of the Mario universe, there was a lot to love.
Mario and his Rabbid friends will be duking it out XCom style with a bunch of evil Rabbids next Tuesday in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and yesterday Ubisoft just revealed plans for some additional content that will be arriving after its release. The good news is that there will be additional co-op challenges as part of all this.
Ubisoft's venture into the world of Mario took us all a little bit by surprise when it was finally unveiled at this year's E3. The rumors and leaks prior to the event had many wondering what Nintendo was thinking, but seeing Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle in action eased many of those anxieties. We only got a little tease of the co-op mode at that time, but now, a new gameplay video provides the pertinent details.
It's been rumored for some time with a lot of folks asking "is this for real," and Ubisoft finally answered all of that during their E3 press conference today. Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle is an actual thing and it is coming to the Nintendo Switch this August.
