The Daily Bubble

The teaser image released prior to the first issue of The Daily Bubble.

The Daily Bubble was an interactive online magazine created to promote Rayman Origins. The magazine was written from the perspective of an inhabitant of the Glade of Dreams. Each issue contained music, gameplay clips and story snippets relating to the game, including several scrapped elements, sketches and artworks. The magazine could be read on the official UbiArt blog, which has since been taken down. The issues can now be read via the Rayman Pirate-Community archive links below.

Issue descriptions

Some of the Daily Bubble issues have descriptions that are not present in the articles themselves, instead being shown on the official UbiArt blog. Since that was taken down, they can now only be viewed through a Web Inspector or DevTools.

When asked, 'What advice would you give to an inexperienced explorer?', Commander Osteaucay replied, 'Learn to swim... very, very fast!', then after a brief moment of reflection he added: 'After all, Red Wizards are not lizards! If you bite off our tail, it won't grow back.'
