What’s next for Nintendo and Lego’s ongoing collaborations? Apparently, Mario’s dinosaur pal Yoshi! In a post on the Nintendo Today! app this morning, Lego teased a news post with the title, “New LEGO Super Mario Set Hatching Soon.” It has the hilarious subtitle of “Adults Welcome,” as if Yoshi has somehow entered into a world of crime or illicit activity. Maybe I’m just an idiot.

Anyway, the set has been confirmed to be part of the “Super Mario” line of Lego sets, so this isn’t a Yoshi-specific branding. The mention of adults also implies it will be a more complex set instead of something like the interactive Mario and Luigi or even the themed minifigures. Nintendo already has sets such as the Mario Kart one, so I’d imagine Yoshi will be along those lines.
While no specific release date was given, the copyright information pasted on the shared image shows 2027. I really doubt Lego would be holding off on releasing Yoshi until next December, so it’s probably safe to say this will be coming in early 2027.
