Attack of the Killer Rabbids from Outer Space, later retitled Killer Freaks from Outer Space was a first-person shooter that was developed by Ubisoft Montpellier in 2011. The game was planned for PS3, Xbox 360 and WiiU, later was turned into a WiiU exclusive. The game was originally intended to be a part of the Rayman spinoff series Raving Rabbids wherein earth was attacked by a much more frightening “cousin” of the Rabbids.
Gameplay
"While the Freaks remained very similar to the Rabbids in size and stature they were given a much more reptilian appearance to differentiate them from their earlier counterparts. Set in a post-apocalyptic London, the game pitted 1-4 players against hordes of the Freaks with an arcade run n gun style of gameplay complete with a point system. An early trailer and gameplay video revealed a variety of weapons that could be used against the Freaks ranging from handguns and shotguns to a buzzsaw launcher and electricity gun."[1]
