The game was originally set to be released as a WiiU exclusive in February 2013, but a couple weeks before its release date Creator/{{Ubisoft}} announced that it would be delayed until September in order to have a simultaneous multiplatform launch on XBox360 and {{Playstation 3}} as well. As an apology, the WiiU will be getting the game's Challenge Mode as a free download in April. The sequel retains the first game's gameplay, art style (though the characters have a more painted look to them), and 4-Player co-op, but goes in a more fantasy-based direction, with worlds based off fairy tales and GreekMythology.

''Rayman Legends'' is the upcoming sequel to the critically acclaimed RaymanOrigins.The story goes that one day, Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies are taking a stroll through the forest, when they stumble upon a tent filled with several beautiful paintings that seem to tell the story of a mythical land. As they're taking a closer look at a medieval themed picture, it suddenly sucks them up, and our heros find themselves in the mythical world depicted in the paintings. With this, Rayman and the gang's newest adventure begins, as our heroes set out to discover the secrets of this mythical land.

The game is currently set to be released in September 2013 as a multiplatform title for Wii U, X-Box 360, and Playstation 3. The sequel retains the first game's gameplay, art style (though the characters have a more painted look to them), and 4-Player co-op, but goes in a more fantasy-based direction, with worlds based off fairy tales and GreekMythology.
