Ubisoft adds Rabbids Go Home to Holiday 09 lineup

More On: Rabbids Go Home
When Ubisoft originally released the Rabbids back in Rayman: Raving Rabbids a few years ago I didn't suspect that the Rabbids would become a franchise in and of themselves.  Three years later and the doofy characters are entrenched in Ubisoft's cadre of characters.  This year they'll be seen in Rabbids Go Home which is being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and which will hit stores this Holiday season.  Ubi didn't provide a lot of detail on the game other than this screenshot and that they'll be providing information in an upcoming issue of Nintendo Power Magazine.  I really enjoyed the original game and hopefully they can keep the franchise interesting.
UBISOFT® SAYS RABBIDS GO HOME

Raving Rabbids Break Out with First Standalone Title

SAN FRANCISCO – April 9, 2009 – Today Ubisoft announced that the Rabbids will receive their own standalone brand with the Holiday 2009 release of the comedy-adventure Rabbids Go Home. Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, the team behind Beyond Good & Evil®, Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie and the original Rayman Raving Rabbids®, the game will benefit from a new engine designed specifically for the Wii(TM) home video game system from Nintendo, offering the Rabbids a hilarious adventure in a brand new universe.

The Rabbids are already beloved the world over, selling 6.5 million copies of their raving adventures and starring in their own series of videos that have kept web surfers laughing for years. Moving up to top billing with their own brand of games was a logical next step and fans will now be able to enjoy the fun in this humorous adventure game where the Rabbids unleash their insanity onto the human world as they attempt to return to their Rabbid home.

Look for more information on Rabbids Go Home in the May issue of Nintendo Power magazine.
