Mario+Rabbids Creative Director Davide Soliani Exits Ubisoft

In a new post on X today, Mario+Rabbids veteran Davide Soliani announced they are leaving Ubisoft after 25 years.

Soliani thanked the “incredible community of players,” and explained they left Ubisoft “to embark on a new adventure.” At this time, they did not elaborate on the details of their plans.

Soliani served as the creative director on Mario+ Rabbids Kingdom Battle and the most recent Mario+ Rabbids Sparks of Hope.

Overall, Soliani worked on the Mario+Rabbids series for 11 years. Gaming fans might also recognize Soliani for their tender moment at the 2017 E3 event.

Hi all folks. After 25 years, 11 of which beautifully spent working with Nintendo on Mario+Rabbids along the company of our incredible community of players, I have decided to leave Ubisoft to embark on a new adventure. I can’t say more now. Thanks a lot for everything, truly 🙏❤️ pic.twitter.com/nafgBC2bu8

Ubisoft promptly replied to Soliani via X, with “best wishes for the worlds you’ll journey through next.” Soliani worked at Ubisoft Milan in Italy.

Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle first launched in 2017, while Sparks of Hope released in 2022. Just weeks ago, Nintendo also briefly offered a free trial of Mario+Rabbids Sparks of Hope for Nintendo Switch Online users.

Mario fans can still look forward to Super Mario Party Jamboree, and pre-orders are available now. During the latest Nintendo Direct showcase, Nintnedo also announced Mario & Luigi Brothership for November 7, 2024.
