If you've already bought a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you're probably a bit antsy waiting for any new game to come out, let alone one as lovely as Rayman Legends. Ubisoft has good news on that front, at least, as it's quietly bumped Rayman's release forward by a week, to February 18.
Certainly more than any other big publisher, Ubisoft can still surprise us with unlikely games. Consider today's announcement of Valiant Hearts: The Great War, a 2D game blending puzzles, action, and caring for a dog on the battlefields of World War I. It's made on the UbiArt Framework by a small team at Rayman Legends developer Ubisoft Montpellier.
Oh, how you tutted and sighed when Ubisoft delayed the Wii U edition of Rayman Legends into September just so it could launch alongside its newly-announced Xbox 360 and PS3 siblings. The monsters! But hey, good news. Your wait is now slightly shorter, as Ubi has now said the delightful jump 'em up sequel will launch on August 27.
The delay of Rayman Legends for Wii U to September to coincide with its launch on other platforms may have been unpopular with fans, but the good news is that developer Ubisoft Montpellier has had time to add more new content to the game.
After Rayman Legends was delayed for Wii U until September to hold it for an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 version, Ubisoft promised a new demo for the game in early April. That demo will now come in late April with an exclusive level just for the Wii U.
When Ubisoft announced it was delaying the nearly-finished Wii U edition of Rayman Legends so it could launch alongside Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, it discovered fans--and even developers--weren't wholly satisfied with that. Quelle suprise! It hastily promised a second demo on Wii U, and has now revealed that'll actually be the full online challenge mode.
We get some hands-on time with the Wii U version of Rayman Legends at E3 2012, and come away surprised and impressed by the its innovative use of the tablet controller.
As promised, Ubisoft has scaled back From Dust's DRM so you can now play the PC edition whilst offline.
From Dust will have all of its online authentication DRM removed on PC, Ubisoft has revealed.
