Only Tuesday I was lamenting the fact that Rayman Origins seemed to be on every platform but PC, and it would seem that Ubisoft heard my cries. Ubisoft Montpellier's charming jump 'em up will be leaping and lollygagging onto PC in March, the publisher announced today.

Rayman Origins is headed to PC both digitally and in boxes on March 29 at the friendly price of $29.99--not a full-price release like the console editions. Certain stores, including Ubisoft's own, are offering a downloadable copy of Rayman 2 as a pre-order bonus.

Retail editions will have "no DRM at all," Ubisoft told Rock, Paper, Shotgun, while digital versions will have a one-time online activation. What unexpectedly sensible DRM from Ubisoft! Of course, Ubisoft said the same of From Dust yet that initially required an online check every launch time the game launched, until it was patched out a few weeks later. Fingers crossed, gang.

And here are your system requirements:

  • Processor: Intel Pentium IV 3.00 Ghz or AMD Athlon64 3000+ @ 1.8 Ghz

          I don't believe that; how could a retail disc game not have DRM these days? Even Far Cry 2 had activation DRM on the disc. I'm waiting for first adopters to confirm whether the retail version truly has "no DRM", or if they're just saying that now, and it ends up being "no DRM, except for this, this, this...".

      If you like video games you should play this game. It's probably my favorite game last year.
