Who would want to co-opt Ubisoft’s bothersome mascots, the Raving Rabbids? Russian salad maker Belaya Dacha, apparently, who have swiped the leporine mischief makers – or a very, very close approximation – to shill their pre-packaged salad greens. More »

Unless Ubisoft has been holding out Rayman’s Raving Israeli Lottery Balls on us, the company responsible for these Israeli lottery commercials has some explaining to do. More »
Drink up! Starting this summer, Ubisoft’s Raving Rabbids are appearing on Coca-Cola Zero cans in France as part of a “Lapins Crétins” (stupid rabbits) campaign. More »
Earlier this year, Crecente got hold of some delightful little Raving Rabbids figures from Ubisoft. Figures I tried to swipe, before he smacked the back of my hand and sand “no, naughty”. Well fuck you, Crecente, you and your patronising hand-slapping. I’ll just go buy my own, because Ubisoft have announced that the figures – made by NECA – will soon be made available to the public. What’s more, there’ll be five figures available: the four we’ve already seen (Sam Fisher, Prince, Altair and vanilla Rabbid) plus a new one, the screaming/plunger-wielding Rabbid, which you can see (along with the classy packaging) after the jump.
Ubisoft handed out packs of these four Raving Rabbids at this year’s Ubidays. I’m not a huge schwag fan myself, but these managed to melt even my cold heart. And yes, we’re sorry Ubisoft, turns out Sam Fischer did make an appearance at your show.
We haven’t heard squat from Ubisoft on the next Raving Rabbids game. No announcement, no screens, no carefully-worded press release, nothing. Just this video. But after watching it, is it safe to assume that Ubisoft know which of Nintendo’s cash-making coattails to grab next, and will be making the next Rabbids game at least partially compatible with the Wii Fit Board? You know the answer.
It’s by no means a magical experience, but I did get a smirk out of Ubisoft’s Christmas video, which arrived in my inbox not too long ago.
I should warn you it has rabbids in it. Raving rabbids, as they’re called. I think they’re the freakiest creatures I’ve ever seen, ignoring my brother’s ex-girlfriend.
We called her “Eggface”. More »
