The news constitutes the biggest new Switch game announcement in over a year.
The Origami King is the latest entry in the Paper Mario series, a spin-off of Nintendo’s hit Mario franchise, focusing on the platforming adventures of a fantastical plumber.
Along with the announcement, Nintendo released the first trailer for the game, which included some gameplay footage.
Rumours of The Origami King’s development had been swirling for a while, leaving many gamers wondering if another rumoured Nintendo release, titled “Super Mario All-Stars 2”, could soon follow.
The Origami King is set to arrive the same day as Sony’s Japan-set epic Ghost of Tsushima.
It’s not the first time Nintendo has scheduled one of its releases to coincide with another big competitor; earlier this year, Animal Crossing: New Horizons went toe-to-toe with violent shooter Doom Eternal.
