Mario & Luigi: Brothership announced for Switch
The Mario & Luigi series is making a comeback on Switch as Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Nintendo just revealed. It will launch on November 7, 2024.
This announcement comes as a surprise as the series’ main developer, AlphaDream, previously shut down. It’s the first new entry in almost nine years. It’s currently unclear which team is handling development.
Here’s what Nintendo has shared thus far:
All aboard for an island-hopping RPG adventure starring Mario and Luigi! The brothers are back for a brand-new entry in the Mario & Luigi series, where they set sail on Shipshape Island (part ship, part island) to navigate the vast world of Concordia. Play as the moustachioed pair and explore islands that range from tropical rainforests to bustling cities. Along the way, meet new friends to help you on your journey and encounter familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom like Peach and Bowser. Keep the “Brothership” afloat and rely on Mario and Luigi’s bond to save the day by employing Bros. Moves to get past obstacles and powerful Bros. Attacks to claim victory in a dynamic twist on turn-based combat.
A first look at Mario & Luigi: Brothership is available below.
