Surprising no one, but delighting every Vita owner around the
world, Ubisoft announced today that Rayman Legends is coming to the
PlayStation Vita. The sequel to
what's arguably one of the finest Vita games so far (at least
according to this gamer), Rayman Legends takes the formula that was
reinvigorated with Rayman Origins and tosses in even more wonder
and delight. Along with some toe-tapping music levels that'll test
your rhythm and timing (check out "Eye of the Tiger" in Mariachi Madness), Rayman
Legends comes with full Vita functionality - including clever use
of the handheld's touchscreen and gyroscope tech (see below video
for more).
Even better, Rayman Legends on Vita includes five exclusive
maps that feature the green bottle fly Murphy and use the system's
rear touch pad for a new way to play. Legends on Vita also comes
with two exclusive costumes. That's right - now you can help
Rayman, Globox and the rest of crew as they explore new worlds,
each one nestled within a collection of legendary paintings. And
you can do it as "Ray of Persia" or "Glob Cell" (from Prince of
Persia and Splinter Cell, natch). But don't go it
alone. Take on the challenges ahead of you with the help of another
player. All you need is a WiFi connection, and one player can
barrel ahead using classic controls while the other focuses on
helping out as Murphy using the touchscreen. Rayman Legends
on PlayStation Vita will release alongside the previously announced
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U versions on September 3, 2013.
