The past several months have been tremendously kind to Ubisoft. After welcoming a surprise hit with Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora back in December, which followed the successful release of Assassin's Creed: Mirage, and with an nth potential success in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown waiting on the wings, it appears that one of its previous titles is late bloomer as well.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, a third-party Nintendo Switch exclusive title, is apparently closing in on 3 million copies sold - a big win after Ubisoft initially expressed disappointment in its sales in its initial launch back in October 2022.
Sparks of Hope is a sequel to the original crossover title, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which launched in 2017. The surprising collaboration between Nintendo and Ubisoft, saw the usually protective console maker temporarily sign over the keys to the Mario universe to Ubisoft in a fun turn-based tactical adventure title. The two combine to be one of the best-selling third-party Switch titles, but the latest numbers of Sparks of Hope suggest Ubisoft might want to heavily consider working on a third title as well as a potential re-release for the next Nintendo console.
