News: The Rabbids ride again, this time with their sights set on Earth.

Ubisoft has announced that Rayman and the Rabbids will be returning to the Wii and DS this fall in Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. The sequel is being developed by Ubisoft Paris and the company promises it will have more mini-games than before and that it will be "a hilarious sequel."

This time the Rabbids will stop at nothing short of world domination... of the world Earth... where we live! So once again, Rayman sets out to stop them by disguising himself as a Rabbid to take them down from within.

"The first Rayman Raving Rabbids was a huge critical and commercial success worldwide," said Helene Juguet, director of marketing for Ubisoft. "Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is poised to continue that success, as gamers can't seem to get enough of those crazy bunnies; they're just so popular!"
