Mario & Luigi's Dev May Be The Team Behind Octopath Traveler

The mystery surrounding the developer of the upcoming game "Mario & Luigi: Brothership" has finally been solved. Contrary to popular speculation suggesting studios like ILCA or Next Level games, the co-developer has been confirmed as Acquire, known for its work on titles such as "Octopath Traveler" and "Tenchu: Stealth Assassins." This revelation arises from screenshots revealing copyright information, which remains credible as similar methods confirmed the developers behind other Nintendo titles. Acquire has a rich history with several collaborations and releases over the years, and this marks its first venture into developing a first-party Nintendo title. This shift indicates Nintendo's willingness to explore partnerships with external developers beyond its traditional collaborators.

The developer of Mario & Luigi: Brothership is Acquire, a studio known for co-developing popular titles like Octopath Traveler.

Acquire has been active since 1994 and has been instrumental in various gaming genres. The studio gained notable recognition for its contributions to the PlayStation platform and is now entering a new realm by working on Nintendo's first-party titles. Their experience, especially in turn-based role-playing games, gives fans high expectations for the direction of Brothership.
