Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is an upcoming role-playing video game, and the sixth main installment in the Mario & Luigi series of video games. It will be the first original entry in the series since Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam (2015), the first that is not developed by AlphaDream, the first that features fully 3D gameplay, and the first for a home console. The game was announced in a Nintendo Direct on June 18, 2024, and is scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch on November 7, 2024.

Gameplay
The game will feature "evolved Bros. moves", as well as new locations.

Setting
The game takes place on the sea of the world of Concordia and its islands, which Mario and Luigi traverse on Shipshape Island, a structure that is described as "part ship, part island."

Development
After series creator AlphaDream filed for bankruptcy in 2019, Nintendo filed a new trademark for Mario & Luigi in January 2020. In June 2024, following the reveal of the game in a Nintendo Direct, Nintendo noted that "some of the original developers" from the franchise are involved in the development of Brothership. The game is currently scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch on November 7, 2024.
