Ubisoft Milan has dated the third paid DLC for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Rayman in the Phantom Show releases on August 30th for Nintendo Switch and is a standalone adventure starring Ubisoft’s bygone platforming mascot, Rayman (played by the returning David Gasman). Check out the reveal trailer below.
The DLC sees Rayman teaming with Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach in a battle against the Phantom (who appeared in Kingdom Battle). The latter now has a television studio and news “true stars” to help low ratings. Cue the trio to lend their expertise across new levels with new music by Grant Kirkhope and Christophe Heral (known for Rayman Origins and Legends).
With vertical traversal being important, Rayman’s Haircopter comes in handy and can carry his allies. You also have the Plunger Blaster for some new tactics. Stay tuned for more details ahead of the DLC’s release. Check out our review for the base game here in the meantime.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope hasn’t worked out as well for Ubisoft as the company would have expected after the success of its predecessor. Where Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle pulled in over 10 million players in its lifetime, Sparks of Hope hasn’t gained nearly as much traction. Shortly after its release, Ubisoft confirmed that it had performed below expectations, and more recently, suggested that it would likely have sold better if it had released for Nintendo’s next platform instead of for the Switch.
