Synopsis :
Rayman Legends is a platform video game developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by Ubisoft. It is the fifth main title in the Rayman series and the direct sequel to the 2011 game Rayman Origins. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PlayStation Vita platforms in August and September 2013. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were released in February 2014, with a Stadia version released in November 2021. A Nintendo Switch port, titled Rayman Legends Definitive Edition, was released in North America, Europe and Australia on September 12, 2017.
Rayman Legends was announced at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2012 for Wii U and was planned for release during the console’s launch window. However, the game was delayed to February 2013 in order to finish the game on time, and due to the financial failure of ZombiU, the release was delayed again by six months and the game was made multi-platform.
Rayman Legends received critical acclaim upon release. Critics praised the game’s visuals, level design, controls, soundtrack, overall gameplay, and the large amount of content, with some calling it one of the best platforming video games ever made. Rayman Legends won several awards from numerous gaming publications. The game experienced slow sales on release, but sold over a million copies by 2014.
Its plot takes place one century after the events of Rayman Origins. Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies have been asleep ever since. During that time, the Bubble Dreamer’s nightmares grew in strength and numbers, and so has the Magician (who has survived the explosion in Rayman Origins), who has split into five “Dark Teensies”. Rayman and friends are awakened by their friend Murfy who tells them about the bad news and tells them that the ten princesses of the land (including Barbara) and the Teensies have been captured by the nightmares and the Dark Teensies. Rayman, Globox, the Teensies, and Murfy set out to defeat these new threats. After defeating four of the Dark Teensies and fighting the worst of the nightmares, including a mechanical dragon built and controlled by the fourth Dark Teensie in his underwater base, Rayman and friends go to Olympus Maximus and confront a giant cloud composed of little ferocious dark creatures of dark energy known as Hades’ Hand. After the creature has been destroyed and the last Dark Teensie is sent to the moon, the credits roll. If four hundred teensies are saved, the player unlocks the last world of the game, Living Dead Party. Once completed, the nightmares are defeated and the player is awarded ten thousand lums and six new invasion paintings. Once the player saves all seven hundred (or eight hundred and twenty-six in the Nintendo Switch version) Teensies, they unlock the Golden Teensie.
