The game later spawned a subseries, with the first sequel, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, being released in November 2007. A PlayStation Portable version was planned, but was later cancelled. The game was released for the Wii (as launch game, lately also in the Wii U eShop on July 6, 2017), PlayStation 2, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox 360 systems, with a different version released for Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and mobile phones.

The game is a spinoff in the Rayman series, and was released in November 2006. Rayman and the Rabbids are then led into an airborne submarine, taking him to a location for invasion.Rayman Raving Rabbids is a party video game developed and published by Ubisoft. Thinking quickly, Rayman screams "BWAAAAAAAAH!", convincing the Rabbids that he is one of their own. Taking a look at the cover, it seems to recognize Rayman. A Rabbid with split color eyes (also known as Professor Barranco 3) walks up to him and whips out a European Wii copy of the first Raving Rabbids game. Accidentally, he falls into the mall and is spotted. Seconds later, one of the Rabbids jerks its head, noticing Rayman's presence. Rayman climbs to the roof of the facility and peers through a skylight, where he observes the Rabbids watching a montage of everyday human life. He then picks up a soda can and throws it to distract two guard Rabbids and steals one of their plungers. As he's about to sneak in, he disguises himself wearing two socks on his head, a headband, two makeshift eyes, and inhaling helium into his lungs (in order to disguise his voice, thus blending in more with the other Rabbids). The game starts with Rayman infiltrating a mall overrun by Rabbids. It is followed by Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party. This is the first Rayman game to have an E10+ rating by the ESRB, a greater emphasis on simultaneous multiplayer gameplay compared to the original game, and online leaderboards.

Players have the option to play as a Rabbid or as Rayman, who has disguised himself as a Rabbid to infiltrate their plans. Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is the second installment of the Raving Rabbids party franchise, in which the Rabbids attempt to invade Earth and have set up headquarters near a local shopping mall.
