The Rabbids of the Rayman Raving Rabbids series will star in their own adventure game developed by the team behind Beyond Good & Evil.
Ubisoft announced earlier this week that Rabbids Go Home, an adventure game starring the humorous characters from the Rayman Raving Rabbids series, will be released this holiday season. Developing the game is Ubisoft Montpellier, who are responsible for Beyond Good & Evil and the original Rayman Raving Rabbids.
Using a new engine specifically designed for Wii, Rabbids Go Home sees the titular characters tearing through the human world as they attempt to return to their home. According to a recent issue of Nintendo Power, the Rabbids believe that their home is the Moon. Players control two Rabbids, one inside of a shopping cart and another pushing it, and collect enough junk to build a tower to reach the Moon. There are different items that players can collect to give the Rabbids new abilities and power-ups that allow them to collect more junk.

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.
