Developer interested in more Rabbids Go Home-like titles
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Jacques Exertier, the Creative Director of Rabbids Go Home had this to say when asked if there will be any other adventure games with the Rabbids…
“We hope so, yes. You’d have to ask the bigwigs at Ubisoft though. All sorts of different factors have to be taken into account before a decision like that is made.”
I’m sure that we’re going to see the Rabbids appear in additional titles – It’s just a matter of which genre they’ll be involved with. I’m not such a huge fan of the Rayman Raving Rabbids minigame compilations, but I’d definitely be open to seeing more games like Rabbids Go Home.
