Wowie zowie! Wrong Mario game, we know, but there's been quite a deluge of Mario & Luigi: Brothership details over the last 24 hours. After last night's new screenshots, Nintendo has dropped a brief but delightful new trailer for the upcoming RPG.
Titled 'Greetings from Concordia' — a slightly unfortunate name (and timing) given some extremely fresh Playstation game news — the new trailer gives us a look at the brand new world, that Mario and Luigi will be exploring.
Framed like a little tour guide, it showcases just how lovely Brothership is look. All of your typical Mario biomes are here — volcanoes, deserts, green fields, and snowy fields — and there are plenty of puzzles which the brothers will need to team up to solve.
Over on Twitter, Nintendo has revealed some of the names of these locations, too: Rumbla Island, Twistee Island, Lottacoins Island, and Desolatt Island. We're sure there are a few places we haven't seen yet, buwe don't have too long to wait.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is fast approaching — the game launches on 7th November 2024. That's only two months away! Will you be visiting Concordia in November? Let us know in the comments.

The absolute insanity of the timing of this announcement. You just know some intern is fist pumping the air.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership of the Mustache. Can't wait!
Not Concord again!
Hmm...that name reminds me of something...eh, I forget. (Seriously though, the timing is so perfect it's cosmic.)
No relation to Sony and Bungies recent monstrosity.
I honestly thought of the Costa first, if you know what I mean ...but Sony pulled a fast one on me.
Nintendo revealing this on the same day as Sony's GAAS implosion has to be one of the most unintentionally hilarious things I've ever seen.
Brothership's looking just as crisp as ever though! I am a bit concerned at the pretty homogenous area theming (grass, desert, lava; its all pretty bog-standard Mario to be honest) but the areas themselves look stunning and full of charm/life. Besides that then, everything else is pretty much perfect: the animations, the music, the battles; its all looking like a great return for the series. November 7th can't come soon enough!
I'm really liking the look of this game. It feels like they're putting extra effort into the animations and environments.
@Fizza Superstar Saga and to a greater extent Bowser's Inside Story has a good amount of typical, albeit unique variations of those themes. Dream Team as well.
Keeps on looking lovely, can't wait to explore Concordia myself as soon as my ticket for it (i.e. my discounted physical copy) arrives!
@Fizza I don't really mind the typical areas as long as they're framed in a way that makes them interesting to explore(Dream Team being a great example of this).
@Fizza I believe all Mario and Luigi games tend to have areas that fit those categories. It's just depending on if they actually do anything interesting with them or not. I know the desert seemed to have gears around one of the towns, so maybe it'll be more interesting.
Really hype for this! Knowing that ex AlphaDream employees are involved shouldn't make this a surprise, but I'm impressed and so glad it have that vibes from the previous games worlds!
The game's looking fantastic so far, excited to get around to playing it.
On a different note, I was surprised that Nintendo did the timing pretty much the exact same time as the Concord shutdown announcement. I hope this is a sign that Nintendo won't fall into the live service trap with Switch 2.
Jeez, this looks beautiful.
They knew what they were doing releasing that little clip...lol
Can’t wait! This looks awesome. the characters look neat too, pretty much the Beanish equivalent for Brothership! This is the game I'm most hyped for right now!
Mario and Luigi welcome you to Concordia.
Meanwhile Sony kicks you out of Concord.
Hilarious. Concord really was an eight year and nine figure investment that went down the drain in less than two weeks. Modern day E.T
Mama Mia!
Wahooo!
Freakin' awesome that we're getting a new Mario RPG! Looking forward to the 🏝️ adventure
On a separate, semi-unrelated note, I do hope that Sony is able to cobble together something with the mess of a launch from Concord. I very rarely get any joy over a game failure since so many regular working people put their lives into creating something they thought would be fun. The reveal trailer made it seem like a pretty fun GotG style single player game and then they mentioned arena/hero shooter and instantly killed my interest. Will be curious to see where it all ends up.
@Bass_X0 Your comment pairs perfectly with your profile picture.
Concordia in Mario & Luigi: Brothership is shaping up to be what looks like a beautiful, fun romp.
...Unlike
DiscordConcord. Seriously, who even asked for another generic FPS?It looks nice
I'm already liking the environments of this game based on the snippets the've shown. Alpha dream may be no more, but you can tell ex AD devs. worked on this.
Impeccable timing from Nintendo too, lol. That Concord game turned out to be a complete disaster. What on earth was Sony thinking?!
This feels like they're trolling Sony rn
Hopefully this kingdom won’t get shut down after two weeks!
@Fizza I feel like that's selling the game short, especially since it's already clear Brothership is not pulling a Paper Jam and deriving everything from New Super Mario Bros. It's closer to Odyssey, putting its own spin on the tropes (Rumbla Island, for instance, is a fire/ice area, which I don't think we've seen since the Galaxy Games, while the desert seems to have a scrappy town theme and there's an entire city area)
This is the first M&L game since BiS I've been looking forward to. And I still refuse to watch any trailers beyond the announcement lol
Why wallet has been crying from catching up on the switch games I’ve forgotten to get so I might pass on this one for a few months
So far, so good. This is still likely going to be my GOTY. It's been too long for a new Mario & Luigi game, and a home console game at that!
I've only ever played Superstar Saga, but I thought the gameplay was a great new take on an RPG. Can't wait for this one; it's looking good!
I need another game annouced at the next Nintendo Direct so I can pick up another voucher set. This game is that first game in that set. Maybe allow us to preorder Metroid 4 or the Zelda Double pack or something lol.
"Concordia" was the name of my old VBS program.
Looking good! I'm getting it not long after release, but Dragon Quest III and AC Shadows come first.
@batmanbud2 Last I checked, Bungie wasn't heavily involved in the game that went down faster than the Costa Concordia...
@Alpha008 At absolute worst, you'll still be able to play Brothership after two weeks have passed. And given the Mario name power, there's probably more pre-orders for Brothership at the outlets allowed to offer them than Concord ever had players...
Can Mario & Luigi: Brothership get more than 25,000 sales?
Concord...ia? Hahaha! 🤣 Take the L, Sony.
The names of the islands are definitely not subtle at all but I love them all the same.
Can't wait to finally get into Concordia soon. Nintendo really knows how to get creative with their name. Delfino, New Donk City, and now Concordia.
@Bass_X0
Pre-ordered yesterday and can’t wait!
I'd never heard of this Sony Concord game up to now. Hey it's a shooter 😴
Looking good!
Also the thing about Concord is precisely that absolutely no one cares about it so I doubt most people will notice the timing there.
The only concord that I like, also the other concord is closing lol.
@wiiware the other concord closed so the new concord could open.
Insert Concord joke here
I'm not up to speed on this Concord joke, so I have no idea what this comment section is talking about.
@abbyhitter I don't know much about it myself but as I understand it there was a very recently released unpopular Sony-published game called "Concord" that was just shut down after like only 2 weeks.
@abbyhitter pretty much what @SuperBro64 said is the gist. If you want more details, it was sold on PS5 and Steam, apparently sold only 25,000 copies and its peak of players on Steam being 697, seemingly lower that the beta.
And keep in mind, Concord was a $40 live-service hero shooter (much like Overwatch or Apex Legends) that spent 8 years in development, only to be shut down 2 weeks after release - the game came out on August 23rd, the shut down will take place on September 6th.
The funny thing most make out of it is that the announcement of Concord shutting down came hours (I'm not kidding) before Nintendo uploaded the Concordia trailer of M&L.
