Rayman Legends Announced

A sequel to one of 2011's best games is on its way!
Anyone who followed On-Screen last year should recall that I dubbed the fantastic Rayman Origins one of my favourite games of 2011. There truly was so much to talk about, from the dazzling visual showcase on behalf of Ubisoft Framework to the sheer variety of levels and gameplay on offer throughout the lengthy and challenging campaign. Now, Ubisoft Montpellier have confirmed that a sequel to the game is in development. Rayman Legends is confirmed to be headed for PlayStation 3, Nintendo WiiU, Microsoft Xbox 360 and the 3DS, and feature new, darker levels than ever before. The reveal was prompted by a leak of a marketing trailer which showed off some possible features of the WiiU console like a Skylanders character toy hub with which to shift and alter gameplay, although the publisher Ubisoft does warn that this is not necessarily indicative of the final console or the game itself. Still, keep an eye on Rayman Legends, as it may just be one to watch when it ships at some undesignated point in the 2012 Autumn Of Gaming!
