RAYMAN FANS REJOICE! Today Ubisoft announced that its forthcoming title Rayman Legends, already announced for the Wii U, will indeed make its way to the Xbox 360 and PS3. All versions of the game will hit shelves in early September 2013.
The Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation® 3 versions of Rayman Legends are being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, the same team behind the Nintendo Wii U game. Rayman Legends has been praised for its stunning visuals and innovative gameplay by media around the world and labeled as one of the most anticipated platformers of 2013.
“We heard from many Xbox & Playstation owners and Rayman fans who told us they really wanted to play Rayman Legends on their current system”, says Geoffroy Sardin, EMEA Chief Marketing & Sales Officer. ”We decided to give the fans what they wanted while at the same time broadening the audience exposed to this innovative and memorable game.”
Rayman Legends retains the fantasy appeal of its predecessor while adding a multitude of clever and entertaining gaming modes, new characters, new environments and a new soundtrack. The award-winning team of artists, designers and composers from Origins has also returned with an advanced UbiArt engine to include multi-dimension gameplay elements, an improved lighting system and updated game rendering that elevate Rayman’s graphics to the next level.

Rayman Origins was a fantastic game -platforming at its best. The game was colorful, funny, and an all-out blast. I am thrilled to see Rayman Legends lose its Wii U exclusivity, allowing for a wider audience. As sadistic as it sounds, I’m a big fan of violent videogames. However games like Rayman Origins made it very apparent that you don’t need over-the-top violence to make a great game; I expect nothing less from Rayman Legends.[/box]
