Mario + Rapids sparks of hope It will make a huge difference to Ubisoft’s beloved rabbits. Rabbids are an incredibly cool species, spawning from the Raymen series. They are these psychotic bunnies that scream and make strange noises, but they are very cute. They basically had the less intelligent minion character out long before the Despicable Me movies came out. Ubisoft eventually decided to turn it into their own games that didn’t fit into one genre. Some of them are team games or adventure games, but the most interesting one is a real-time strategy game that crosses with Mario. first game, Mario + Rapids Kingdom Battle It debuted a few years ago on the Nintendo Switch so it’s not lacking in success and it looks like the sequel will raise the bar.
When talking to IGNIn this article, Creative Director David Soliani explained how the team developed the characterization of Rabbids to make them less annoying and more unique. One of the basic rules of Ubisoft about kingdom battle is that they can’t talk…but Sulliani found a loophole and made them sing instead. However, due to the success of the first game and the ambition of the sequel, Ubisoft allowed Sulliani and the team to make the talk about Rabbids in sparks of hope.
“I have gained confidence from Ubisoft to venture towards new horizons…everything we do, is part of the evolution process that will lead us elsewhere,” said Soliani. “I think as a team, we really love the experience and will continue to do that in the DLC. And then, who knows what will happen in the future?”
So yeah, expect the Rapids to speak. It’s unclear exactly how loud they are, although it has been noted that they will talk as much as, if not more, as Nintendo characters. Either way, it should give them more characterization and make them more than just gimmick characters. Only time will tell how effective this is in reality.
