It's a Rabbid, but Peach.

[FONT="]Update:
The full image for the now officially titled 'Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle' has been revealed, thanks to a source at Ubisoft and WWG:
Original:
It appears as though an image from the rumored Rabbid x Mario crossover game, allegedly titled Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, has leaked and it brings a mix of fear and hope for the game.
Whatever you imagined the crossover game from Nintendo and Ubisoft would be, you might not have expected this. Regardless, there isn't much else to expect from a Rabbid dressed as Princess Peach - their eyes were creepy to begin with.
The game, which has been rumored to be an RPG set to release sometime in August or September, is said to feature a turn-based combat system, two-player local co-op, and a humorous tone to its narrative (which is pretty much shown off in the image).
Whatever your feelings are on the image, whether it's real or fake, don't judge the game by the art - we haven't seen gameplay yet or official details.

Development history, character-unique skills, and more.
More details on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle have leaked via Comicbook.com, who first leaked the still unannounced Switch RPGs key art last week.
Heres everything the site knows, according to its sources:
HistoryRead More
Development
- Development began three years ago (2014). Ubisoft approached Nintendo with the proposal using the standard pitching process for a game to be greenlit at Nintendo.
- Multiple Ubisoft representatives have claimed that to see prototypes of a Wii U version of the game at various points in development, suggesting it was once planned for Wii U.
- While the game is being made by both Ubisoft Paris and Ubisoft Milan, the latter is handling the core creative direction.
Game Details
- Nintendo has closely overseen the project, and their approval is required for anything concerning the use of their characters, but most of Ubisofts ideas have been met with little resistance.
- In an early prototype, there was a boss battle against a Donkey Kong-themed rabbid, which has access to a pile of bananas it can use to replenish its health. Players need to cut off its banana supply to prevent it from replenishing its health before they can deal any real damage. The boss will dab periodically if it properly lands an attack. Once it is defeated, the Princess Peach-themed rabbid in the players party pulls out a smartphone and takes a selfie with the boss before it collapses.
Amiibo
- Each of the games eight playable characters has an individual skill tree through which they can develop their own special abilities. Each character starts with a base skill that they an later improve, and can also learn new skills.
- Mario has a passive ability which enables him to automatically fire at an enemy if they enter his field of vision during the enemys turn.
- Princess Peach has the powerful ability to inflate enemies using a foot pump until they explode.
- Some skills are common across multiple characters.
- The campaign is expected to be 20 hours or so long.
- Sources recall indications that an online mode was being tested several months back, although this mode was inaccessible in said test builds. The full game will at least offer two-player local co-op. An additional Arena mode was also spotted in the test user interface, promising local co-op action.
Reveal and Release
- Amiibo support is planned. There is an apparent Amiibo Machine feature, but its functionality is not yet clear.
- Multiple sources claim Ubisoft has been producing prototype figurines of some of the games characters.
- Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was originally intended to be unveiled in January during Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017, but was pushed back to receive further polish and will instead be revealed at E3 2017.
- The release date is currently scheduld for August, though it may slip into September depending on how the final months of development progress.

[FONT="]Despite quite a few rumors and leaks, many were still surprised about the reveal of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. Not only does it bring the denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom together with the former raving Rayman adversaries, but it’s wrapped in a visually striking strategy RPG package. Fans and journalists noticed quite a few similarities between this new title and the classic SRPG series XCOM, but Venture Beat managed to get a comment from an XCOM developer at Firaxis, Jake Solomon. Not only was he surprised to see elements of the series he himself helps shape, he also wants to introduce it to his children.[/FONT]There are few times in my career that I’ve been as surprised as when I was watching that presentation. Just like everyone else, my jaw dropped a little bit when I heard the phrase, ‘As you see, Luigi has taken half-cover.’ What world am I in right now? I couldn’t believe it. But I realized that this is finally how I can introduce XCOM to my daughters. I can finally play something like XCOM with my daughters, introduce the basic concepts. Then, when they’re old enough, maybe we can move on to XCOM together. That was really cool to see.[FONT="]Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is set to release exclusively for Nintendo Switch on August 31.[/FONT]

The most ingenuous of the Rabbid heroes.
The second character spotlight trailer for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle introduces Rabbid Luigi.
Heres an overview of the character, via Ubisoft:
Rabbid Luigi is the most ingenuous of the Rabbid heroes. Easily scared, he would always avoid conflict given the choice. Despite this, he has very strong powers, even if he doesnt really understand how to use them! He might not even seem very menacing at first, but his great defensive and elemental skills make him the wizard every team needs.If you missed it, the first trailer introduced Mario.
