Ubisoft Reveals New Character for Rayman Legends on Wii U

Developer and publisher Ubisoft will be bringing their upcoming title Rayman Legends to Gamescon this year, and they've already made an exciting character reveal before the event even gets under way. In the new trailer below, you can see Barbra tear through her opponents with ease and even fight alongside the iconic Rayman in the upcoming Wii U exclusive. In Rayman Legends, the Rayman story continues when the group of Rayman, Globox and the Teensies come across a tent full of magical paintings that will transport them to other worlds in need of saving. Rayman Legends will utilize the advanced technology capabilities of the Wii U, and you can read on to learn more details on the upcoming title.

Wii U Showcase: Rayman Legends takes full advantage of the Wii U and its new controller’s capabilities. Use the touch screen to take out enemies, manipulate platforms, cut ropes to clear a path and much more. With the gyroscope technology, you can move rotating platform and there are many more surprises to come!

The Game Must Go On: The Wii U allows you to keep playing the game even when your television is off. You will be able to continue Rayman’s adventure on the screen of the Wii U’s new wireless controller.

5-Player Co-op Gameplay:Now more players can join in on the fun! With 4 Wii Remotes and the new Wii U controller, up to 5 players can play at once. At any time if someone wants to leave or join in, the game will continue without interruption.

3D Boss Battles: The bosses have a big advantage over Rayman’s gang… an extra dimension! Dragons and other epic creatures can attack from all angles, so you’ll have to be on top of your game to defeat them.
 
New Challenges: Connect with your friends through a variety of challenges that will test your skill and speed. Check the leaderboards to see where you rank around the world.  

Rayman Rocks!: Jump to the beat of a drum, punch to the bass line, even zip-line during a guitar sustain. Timing and rhythm are the key to beat these maps set to music. See if you have what it takes to be a Platforming Hero.  

UbiArt Engine Advancements: The UbiArt engine has expanded its abilities to now include 3D gameplay elements, a new lighting design, and a new rendering system which take Rayman’s award-winning graphics to the next level.  

The Award-Winning Team Is Back: The legendary team of decorated artists, designers and composers are teaming up again to create new worlds, new characters and a new soundtrack. Rayman Legends is now available for preorder from select retailers and is scheduled to release later this year exclusively for Wii U. Rayman Legends is not yet rated.
