'''''Rayman Legends''''' is a 2D platform game, and the fifth major game in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. It is a direct sequel to ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', and features similar gameplay. It was initially planned to be a release title for the Nintendo Wii U,<ref name="joystiqrelease">Joystiq (via archive.org), ''Rayman Legends a European Wii U launch title, dropping Nov. 30'', https://web.archive.org/web/20121029040202/http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/13/rayman-legends-a-european-wii-u-launch-title-launching-nov-30/</ref><ref name="exclusive">Kotaku, ''Wii U Exclusive Rayman Legends Looks So Lovely'', http://kotaku.com/5934894/wii-u-exclusive-rayman-legends-looks-so-lovely</ref> but [[Ubisoft]] delayed the game multiple times. [[Ubisoft]] would later announce ports for Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The Nintendo Wii U version and the ports were released on different dates in August, September and October 2013.

On November 23, 2021, the game was announced to be available on the Google Stadia platform. [[Online Challenges]] were included despite being disabled in the PC version of the game earlier on in the year.

A smartphone game based on the game's art style, ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', was developed by [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Casablanca]] and released for iOS and Android devices on November 7, 2013. It is the sequel to the previous title, ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', which was based off ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In 2015, another mobile spin-off was released, titled ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', which unlike the previous titles allowed the player to change direction while moving. In 2019, another mobile spin-off was released exclusively for Apple Arcade, titled ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', which went back to not allowing the player to change direction while moving, akin to the first two titles. In 2024, a tabletop board game almost entirely themed after ''Rayman Legends'', titled ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]'', raised funds on Kickstarter.

In January 2017, a remake, titled ''Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition'' was announced for the Nintendo Switch. This version utilizes touch screen controls for [[Murfy]], similarly to the Wii U and PlayStation Vita versions, while the console is in handheld mode through the new [[Murfy's Touch]] painting. Old features, such as the [[Online Challenges]], make a return with online leaderboards. Unlike the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions it does have loading screens between levels. Every [[List of heroes and costumes in UbiArt games|hero]] is available in this version, with the non-Nintendo console-exclusives unlocked from the start. The main difference is the inclusion of the [[Kung Foot|Kung Foot Tournament]] mode where players can play several rounds of the game in a tournament style. The game also features a new painting titled [[Murfy's Touch]] which can only be played in handheld mode. It included past sections involving [[Murfy]] and has 126 new [[Teensie]]s to free, making the total amount 826. The unlock requirements for the paintings has however not changed. Other changes include [[Kung Foot]] now having a Single Player mode and the ability to play local co-op using two systems.<ref>YouTube (via archive.org), ''Nintendo Direct 4.12.2017'', https://web.archive.org/web/20170412232700/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDedvre19es</ref><ref>Ubisoft.com (via archive.org), ''Rayman Legends Definitive Edition'', https://web.archive.org/web/20171018002252/https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/rayman-legends-definitive-edition/</ref> In July 2017 a free [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] was accidentally released with noticeable sound glitches.
