The game will feature "evolved Bros. moves", as well as new locations.[3]

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."[4]

Development

After series creator AlphaDream filed for bankruptcy in 2019, Nintendo filed a new trademark for Mario and Luigi in January 2020.[5] In June 2024, following the reveal of the game, Nintendo noted that "some of the original developers" from the franchise are involved in the development of Brothership.[6]
