Ubisoft’s E3 2017 press conference is just on the horizon. The briefing begins at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM in the UK / 10 PM in Europe.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle has been one of Ubisoft’s worst-kept secrets over the past few months. Now the game has suffered from another leak, this time from a retailer. Walmart is listing the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Day 1 Edition.

We might be hearing about Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle later today. Ubisoft could be unveiling the game during its press conference this afternoon. What’s included in the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Day 1 Edition should be made known as well.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle should finally be announced at E3 this week. Before that game existed though, Ubisoft apparently had interest in mashing the two franchises together during the Wii era.

It seems that a formal pitch was never actually made to Nintendo, and it ended up as nothing more than an internal concept at Ubisoft. Nintendo may have shut things down before talks ever progressed in the slightest.

Liam Robertson has the full report on the concept below.
