Nintendo first showcased their newest addition to the Super Mario series, Super Mario Odyssey, in October of 2016. During E3, the Japanese company also told us we’ll be able to play it on October 27th, 2017.
The game follows a similar formula as Super Mario 64, with an open-world atmosphere, lots of secrets and unlockables and plenty of exploring to do after Mario leaves the Mushroom Kingdom to explore the urban jungle of skyscrapers.
When is Super Mario Odyssey coming out?
During the E3 Press Conference, Nintendo finally told us that the game is coming out on October 27, 2017. They also showed us a new trailer that showed a lot of cool new features to the game, like Mario throwing his hat onto enemies to change his positioning, and a new Amiibo to be released alongside the main game.
