It’s been an extremely long time coming but Rayman Legends is FINALLY upon us. We know Ubisoft is being legit with us this time because we’re getting a launch trailer so there’s no turning back now. I’m sure we’re all still pretty pissed off about the various delays but at the end of the day, Rayman Legends is a better game for it.
Here’s the usual press release to fill up this post.
Following Rayman Origins, our heroes take a 100-year nap, allowing nightmares to infest the Glade of Dreams. Once Rayman awakes from this mysterious sleep, he must set off on a new adventure with his friends to restore order in the universe. Rayman Legends features a wide range of gameplay, including traditional Rayman platforming action and new music rhythm-based stages. The award-winning team of artists, designers and composers 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 previous graphics to the next level. A fifth player can join in on the fun by taking on the role of Murfy exclusively on the Nintendo Wii U™ GamePad controller. All of the game’s adventures can be played by up to five players on Nintendo Wii U™.
Reviews for Rayman Legends thus far have been very positive and I’m hoping to bring you my own personal review in the near future. There are demos available on Wii U, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 so you’re more than welcome to check out the game before you decide to buy it although I wouldn’t hesitate to pick this one up.
Rayman Legends is available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, PC and Vita. It launches on August 30th in Europe and September 3rd in North America. The Vita version of the game will arrive slightly later on September 13th.
To those of you wondering which version to pick up, the choice is easy and it’s Wii U as the game was designed around the GamePad. Regardless the game is worth picking up no matter which system you own.
