Well it's official the Rabbids are teaming up with Mario and Friends
for branding new adventure Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
and to find out more about this game I traveled all around the world
and I interviewed a lot of different people like this guy.
but before I got here I had to go to where it all began in Italy.
yep that Italy!
I'm here to visit Ubisoft Milan the team that along with Ubisoft Paris
has been pouring their hearts into Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
Where did the idea for this begin?
This is Davide Soliani the game's creative director
Once the pitch was approved, it was time to start the real work of putting these two worlds together
to make something new.
In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
you and your unlikely team of heroes explore the mixed-up Mushroom Kingdom.
collecting coins, seeking out hidden treasures
and solving puzzles of all shapes and sizes.
your intrepid crew is trying to set things right again.
but you won't be able to do so without a fight.
In combat you and the enemy team take turns maneuvering around the battlefield
attacking each other with ranged and melee weapons
and using special abilities to try to gain an edge.
You need to make clever use of the environment and play to your hero's individual strengths as you fight your way through each mixed-up world
from the rabbids shape pipes to the diverse array of weapons
Your journey is chock-full of creative colorful and comical designs
that are a testament to how hard the artistic team has worked to make two great looks look good together.
But it's not just Ubisoft Milan who's been pouring their hearts into helping these two iconic franchises come together.
To talk with the rest of the animators, designers, engineers and producers on the project,
I flew to Paris.
That Paris!
Where they told us not to use accordion music in this video.
much better!
Now, that I knew more about Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle,

influenced how the game took shape
