London, United Kingdom - 24 MAY 2007 - Yesterday, Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 exclusively for the Wii and Nintendo DS systems. Those mischievous bunnies are back in a hilarious sequel, a party comedy game that is guaranteed to be even crazier and funnier than the first with even more insane games to play. Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 will push the envelope of the Wii gameplay experience by continuing to make innovative use of the Wii Remote.

In development at Ubisoft's Paris studio, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is scheduled for a fall 2007 release.
"The first Rayman Raving Rabbids was a huge critical and commercial success worldwide," said John Parkes, 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!"
