Ubisoft just released a brand new update for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle following the previous patch for Versus Mode and video capture. Version 1.5.447393 has started distribution.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle now has loading and game over tips and direct access to Battle HQ during the preparation phase. Additionally, Ubisoft has adjusted the difficulty of two battles and implemented bug fixes.
Here’s the full overview of the update from Ubisoft:
Gamereactor published a new interview today with Cristina Nava from Ubisoft Milan. Nava acted as the associate producer on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
During the interview, Nava talked about Mario IP, the game’s script, the flexibility of the Snowdrop engine, and why Donkey Kong wasn’t truly in the game. Regarding the final point, she explains that the concept of Mario + Rabbids is more about combining and fusing elements. They included the Rabbid Kong boss as more of a nod/reference with the shape, tie, and music instead of a Rabbid version of Donkey Kong.
