Rayman Legends Now Available on Next Gen consoles!

Today, 18^th Februry 2014, Ubisoft have announced that Rayman Legends, the award-winning platformer from 2013, is now available in the US for the Next-gen consoles and will hit the shelves on 21^st February in the UK.

Rayman Legends was released in 2013 on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, PS Vita and PC. By then, it was already one of the best rated games of 2013; with Metacritic scoring it 90% on Xbox 360, 91% on PS3 and 92% on Wii U.

Praised for its originality, its stunning graphics and its fresh tone; Rayman Legends is now even better on net-gen with exclusive content and features. The visuals have been enhanced to show the gorgeous hand-drawn artwork and fluid animations in even sharper details, while loading time between maps has been suppressed.

Each platform will have a set of exclusive playable characters to unlock in the Heroes Gallery, which means that you won’t have the same characters in both next-gen consoles. For example: On the Xbox One there are 2 characters designed after the infamous villain from Far Cry 3, Ray Vaas and Far Glob, as well as Splinter Ray, inspired by Sam Fisher. On the PS4, players will have access to Assassin Ray, inspired by Edward Kenway from Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag, which will be granted to the most active and highest-ranked players in the Online Challenges. This character will also be available to players who are actively involved in the Rayman Legends community. So, there is an incentive to play this game to unlock and achieve certain playable characters.

In addition to the different playable characters between the 2 consoles, there will also be a set of exclusive gameplay features. The Xbox One version will include 10 exclusive challenges to unlock new achievements. These challenges will require you to perform specific actions during a limited amount of time and are associated with various aspects of the game. This could range from player skills, co-op play, Kung Foot and more. On the PS4 version, it will incorporate the use of the controller’s touchpad for actions such as scratching Lucky Tickets, as well as a new Camera Mode. In this mode, players use the touchpad to freeze the screen and zoom in and out of the picture. Focusing on the hand-drawn visuals and animated-nuisances created during development, camera mode allows the player to share these moments with the rest of the community. In addition, Rayman Legends will also support Remote Play with the PS4, so you can continue the game on your PS Vita while the TV is turned off.
