På trods af flotte anmeldelser og det stærke Mario-brand at læne sig op ad, har strategispillet Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope ikke været den salgssucces, som Ubisoft havde håbet på. I et nyt interview med VGC fortæller udviklerne fra Ubisoft Milan, at de dog stadig har tiltro til, at spillets vil genere gode salg på den lange bane.
"Even though it's Mario, it's also a genre game: turn-based tactical adventure. So we cannot expect to sell high numbers at the very beginning, because a game like that is a slow burner," fortæller series producer Cristina Nava. "Even if at the beginning it seemed like Sparks of Hope didn't meet expectations, we are confident that over a number of years it will grow. Because it's been received, by both the press and the public, very, very well. It's just a matter of giving it time."
Den tredje og sidste DLC-pakke til Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope udkommer den 30. august og byder på et comeback til den klassiske platformhelt Rayman.
