Rayman Legends 2013

About

Rayman Legends came out on August 29, 2013 for Wii U, then for PlayStation Vita on September 3, 2013. The main story takes about 10 hours, doing everything about 32 hours.

Originally thought as an exclusive title, Rayman Legends used the Wii U Gamepad for some functionalities. After going multiplatform, the Wii U and PlayStation Vita versions of Rayman Legends gave the ability to control Murphy in certain stages through touch controls. This interaction was removed from the other versions.

Story

A full century has passed since the last great adventure, and Rayman, his friend Globox, and the little Teensies have spent the long years fast asleep. But while the heroes slumbered, danger quietly took root. The Bubble Dreamer's nightmares grew ever stronger and more numerous, fueled by the return of the wicked Magician, who has split himself into five Dark Teensies to spread his mischief. Worse still, the nightmares have captured Barbara and her fellow warrior princesses. When Murfy discovers the threat, he rushes to rouse Rayman and company from their sleep and warn them of the chaos spreading across the land. Wasting no time, the heroes set off through a host of fantastical worlds to rescue the captured princesses and put an end to the growing menace.

What is happening now

Rayman Legends Retold is Ubisoft's remake of the 2013 platformer, bringing the colorful adventure to current platforms. The publisher has been promoting the remake with crossover content, including a skin based on Assassin's Creed protagonist Edward Kenway. However, development has hit a slight snag - Ubisoft pushed the release date back by two months to December 3rd, citing the need to ensure quality across all aspects of the game. The delay reflects the company's stated commitment to polish rather than rush the remake to market.
