The New Mario Game Could Be Made Using Unreal Engine 4
As the rumor goes, the game is labeled as ‘brand new' and ‘significant,' and it's being developed using Unreal Engine 4. This is supposedly part of a broader partnership between Nintendo and the creators of Unreal Engine, Epic Games. The source indicates that this collaboration will lead to the production of additional Nintendo titles that will harness the capabilities of Unreal Engine.

“A little birdie has told me that a brand new major Mario title in the works for Nintendo's next system will be using Unreal Engine 4,” the insider said. “Here's hoping that's one of the first games we see running on this thing.”
Who Made The Leak?
These claims have been made by Zippo, who has a remarkable track record of making high-profile Nintendo leaks. He successfully predicted the schedule for the first Nintendo Direct in 2022, for example, but also drew severe backlash for some wrong predictions like the announcement of the Chrono Trigger remake in the latest Nintendo Direct. We, therefore, advise you to take this information with a grain of salt. Nintendo is yet to address these claims.
