'''''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.
 
A PlayStation Vita version was confirmed by [[Ubisoft]] to be released at the same time as the other three versions, but with five exclusive levels, and two exclusive [[List of heroes and costumes in UbiArt games|skins]], on May 28, 2013. A Microsoft Windows release was also confirmed on July 25, 2013.
 
The game was also released on the Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One in February 2014.<ref name="NeoGAF">NeoGAF, ''Rayman Legends confirmed for Vita'', http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=59607797&postcount=34</ref> The versions come with new features like no loading times and added [[List of heroes and costumes in UbiArt games|costumes]].
 
An enhanced port, titled ''Rayman Legends Definitive Edition'', was announced to release on the Nintendo Switch on September 12, 2017.<ref name="Ubiblog">UbiBlog (via archive.org), ''Ubisoft reveals Nintendo Switch lineup'', https://web.archive.org/web/20170115163830/https://blog.ubi.com/ubisoft-reveals-nintendo-switch-lineup/</ref> This version includes an expanded [[Kung Foot]] mode and the [[Murfy's Touch]] painting, as well as the console-exclusive [[List of heroes and costumes in UbiArt games|heroes]].
 
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.

==Plot==
<blockquote>Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies are off wandering through an enchanted forest when they discover a mysterious tent filled with a series of captivating paintings. As they look more closely, they notice each painting seems to tell the story of a mythical world. While focusing on a painting that shows a medieval land, they are suddenly sucked into the painting, entering the world, and the adventure begins. The gang must run, jump and fight their way through each world to save the day and discover the secrets of every legendary painting.</blockquote>
{{Quote|text=
[[The Glade of Dreams]] is in trouble once again! During a 100-year nap, the nightmares multiplied, they spread, they created new monsters even more terrifying than before.
 
These creatures are the stuff of legends... [[dragon]]s, [[Armored Toad|giant]] [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|toads]], [[Seabreather|sea monsters]] and even evil [[luchador]]es. They created elaborate worlds within the [[Glade of Dreams]] and wreaked havoc by capturing every [[Teensie|Teensy]] in sight. Finally, with the help of [[Murfy]], [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] are awoken to help fight these nightmares and save the [[Teensie]]s. When they awake, they see that their old friend [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] has filled his home with a series of magical paintings that reveal the worlds the nightmares have created.
 
In fact, each painting is actually a portal to travel to these worlds, so the gang jumps in and the adventure begins. They must run, jump and fight their way through each world to save the day, discover new friends and unlock the secrets of each legendary painting.}}
 
===Intro===
The game opens with a cut scene explaining the events that have transpired since ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]] explains to [[Murfy]] that [[Rayman]] and his friends have been asleep on [[the Snoring Tree]] for 100 years. During that time, the nightmares have multiplied and spread, including [[the Magician]], who has turned into 5 [[Dark Teensy|Dark Teensies]]. As such the [[Glade of Dreams]] is in great danger, and the [[Teensie]]s and their royalty, who inhabit it, are captured. To this end, he commands [[Murfy]] to awaken the heroes, and begin an adventure anew.
 
In ''Rayman Legends'', all of the worlds, except for the final unlockable bonus world, feature themes inspired by real-world myths and tropes, from the medieval castles of [[Teensies In Trouble]] to the classical Greek architecture of [[Olympus Maximus]].

{{Quote|text=Where best to start an adventure than in the middle of a forest with magic all around? Of course whoever says adventure means princesses to rescue, powerful [[Forest dragon|dragons]] and haunted castle [sic] to explore! Well, be ready because [[Teensie]]s are in trouble and waiting for their knight in shining armor to rescue them, and guess who this knight is: you!|sign=Xbox e-manual|source=''Rayman Legends''}}
 
The nightmares are invading the area and are capturing [[Teensie]]s as they do so, it is here that the heroes have slept for many years, and are finally awoken by [[Murfy]]. After explaining the situation, [[Murfy]] and the heroes go forth to save the [[Teensie]]s. The area contains various castle structures and deep forestry to progress through. The heroes also encounter the first [[Dark Teensy]], and chase him through a desert landscape. The heroes enter a castle-like area, where they encounter many strange beasts. Later on, the heroes will encounter the [[Dark Teensy]] once again, where he will summon dragons to keep the heroes at bay, the last of which, [[Grunderbite]], serving as the boss of this world, once bested, the heroes can then defeat the [[Dark Teensy]], and send him flying to the [[moon]]. The world ends with the musical level of [[Castle Rock]], a parody of the song ''Black Betty'' by Ram Jam.

===[[Toad Story]]===
{{Quote|text=The fairy tales continue, but this time, we'll take you to the top of the Giant beanstalk. Play with the aerial currents to climb this giant beanstalk. Beware of the nasty [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|toads]] that are ready to [sic] just about anything to stop you from climbing the beanstalk...|sign=Xbox e-manual|source=''Rayman Legends''}}
 
This world contains many tall beanstalk areas to traverse through, as well as floating castle ruins caught within strong wind currents. Another [[Dark Teensy]] resides in this world, and has fitted the boss of this world with mechanical armaments to fight the heroes, as an [[Armored Toad]]. Once the [[Armored Toad]] is beaten, it suffers the fate of crashing into a castle. The [[Dark Teensy]] of this world is sent to the [[moon]] to resign to a similar fate as the first. The world ends with the musical level of [[Orchestral Chaos]], which apart from [[Grannies World Tour]] is the only piece of music in such levels that is original and not licensed.

===[[Fiesta de los Muertos]]===
{{Quote|text=Fiesta is the Spanish for Party... Welcome to a Hell of a Party! Close your eyes and listen to the [[Mariachi|marriachis]] [sic], you can almost smell the spices all around you. But don't forget to open them again rapidly because traps are around every corners [sic], [[Luchador]]s will hunt you down, and even if it looks yummy the salsa is burning hot!|sign=Xbox e-manual|source=''Rayman Legends''}}
 
A food world not unlike the [[Gourmand Land]] of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', and [[Candy Château]] of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], this world is inhabited by [[Mariachi|Mexican-inspired skeletons]], and giant [[Luchador]]es. The [[Dark Teensy]] of this world shows some of the magic abilities he now possesses, by turning the heroes into ducks in some levels, requiring [[Murfy]] to aid the heroes in surpassing the various obstacles the world features. Once the [[Dark Teensy]] is cornered, he will call upon a large [[Luchador]] to give chase to the heroes, who only escape him once they reach a lava pit that the [[Luchador]] fall into it, thus defeating it. The boss of this world is [[El Luchador]], whose fight takes place within an arena. By defeating him, the [[Dark Teensy]] of this world can be sent to the [[moon]], joining his other like minded selves. The world ends with the musical level of [[Mariachi Madness]], which is a parody of the song ''Eye of the Tiger'' by Survivor.

===[[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]]===
{{Quote|text=Dive in the depth [sic] of the ocean, in this spy world. Enemies are not a joke and you'll need stealth and skill to infiltrate the Ocean base. Be careful, the detections systems are top of the lines [sic] with [[Dark Sentry|laser beams detecting motions]] and patrolling [[Spy Toad|toads]] equipped with night goggles. Be quick, be smart, play with the lights and the shadows to infiltrate this enemy base.|sign=Xbox e-manual|source=''Rayman Legends''}}
 
This world starts out like the water levels featured in the [[Sea of Serendipity]], but soon takes a darker edge, and resembles a part of the [[Moody Clouds]]. Inspired by the themes involved in spy movies, the heroes will need to avoid many elaborate traps and obstacles created to prevent them from infiltrating the mechanical facilities that the [[Dark Teensy]] of this world has built. The latter has also tamed a dragon called [[Seabreather]], and will use it to fend off the heroes when chased by them. In addition, the [[Dark Teensy]] has enlisted the help of [[Underwater Toad|Toads in spy gear]], and [[Sharkman|Sharkmen]] to secure his facilities. Both make for dangerous opponents due to their capability of using ranged attacks, meaning the heroes must watch themselves to prevent bubblization. Finally, the [[Dark Teensy]] has built a giant [[Mechanical Dragon]] to serve as the boss for this world. The heroes fight it near the end of their time in the world, after they accidentally activate a giant button that causes a red alert and the structure to collapse and destroy itself. After a ferocious battle, the [[Dark Teensy]] is, ironically, trapped by the body of his creation, and sent to the [[moon]]. The world ends with the musical level of [[Gloo Gloo]], which is a parody of the song ''Woo Hoo'' by The 5.6.7.8's, as featured in the film ''Kill Bill: Volume 1''.

===[[Olympus Maximus]]===
{{Quote|text=What would be the legends without the Greeks' tragedy? This world will expose you to various classical myths, but treated through a raymanesque perspective... The [[minotaur]]s almost lovable in their pocket size format, [[The Amazing Maze|the amazing maze]] and the bubbling lava make it a Hell of a world...|sign=Xbox e-manual|source=''Rayman Legends''}}
 
This world is inspired by Ancient Greece, and is set atop high up mountains, deep caverns, and ancient Greco-Roman buildings. The heroes of this world come across many obstacles, such as a mysterious floating hand, which shoots down thunder upon them, swarms of [[dark creature]]s that cannot be harmed physically by the heroes, and [[Minotaur]]s, some of which can shoot fire from their mouths. The [[Dark Teensy]] of this world will summon dragons when being encountered for the first time, who will chase the heroes through various labyrinthine corridors and chasms. To end, a mysterious [[Hades' Hand|Dark Cloud]] serves as the boss of this world, going through various forms, each requiring extreme tenacity and skill to beat, once beaten, the heroes are awarded with a vast amount of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], before finally sending the final [[Dark Teensy]] to the [[moon]], creating a complete musical and visual homage to the 1902 French sci-fi silent film ''A Trip to the Moon'' (''Le Voyage dans la Lune''). The heroes celebrate the new age of peace in the [[Glade of Dreams|Glade]]. The world ends with the musical level of [[Dragon Slayer]], which is a parody of the song ''Antisocial'' originally by Trust.

===[[Living Dead Party]]===
Once 400 [[Teensie]]s are freed, this world unlocks, allowing the heroes to traverse [[Grannies World Tour]], a remix of the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] theme of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and "8 bit" versions of each musical level. The 8-bit levels are carbon copies of the previous music levels, but with added visual effects and filters that greatly increase the difficulty.

==Gameplay==
[[File:RaymanLegends Screenshot LushJungle.jpeg|320px|thumb|right|From left to right: The new adventurer [[Barbara]], [[Globox]], [[Murfy]], [[Rayman]] and the [[Grand Minimus]].]]
 
The game carries on the style of gameplay from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' in which up to four players (depending on the format) simultaneously make their way through various levels. [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] can be collected by finding them in levels, defeating enemies, freeing [[Teensie]]s, and performing other actions. Collecting [[Teensie]]s unlocks new worlds, which can be played in any order once they are available. Along with [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], and the [[Teensie]]s returning as playable characters, players can now control new female character [[Barbara]] and her sisters, once they are rescued from certain stages.
 
In addition to the main playable characters, [[Murfy]] appears as an assist character in certain levels and can be controlled by a 5th player (on the Wii U version). [[Murfy]] can perform various actions such as cutting through ropes, activating mechanisms, grabbing hold of enemies and assisting in gathering [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]]. These offer a range of levels in which co-operation is required to progress. In the PlayStation Vita and Wii U versions of the game, an additional player can control [[Murfy]] directly with touch controls, using either the Wii U GamePad or the Vita's touch screen. In single-player mode, control will switch over to [[Murfy]] during certain sections whilst the computer controls the player's character. In the other versions of the game, [[Murfy]] moves automatically and can be prompted to interact with certain objects with button controls while the player continues to play normally. Other new features include rhythm based levels set to covers of songs such as "Black Betty" in [[Castle Rock]] and "Eye of the Tiger" in [[Mariachi Madness]].
 
[[File:Swinging Caves - Back to Origins 2.jpg|320px|thumb|right|[[Back to Origins]] makes changes to the original ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' levels.]]
 
The game features over 120 levels, including [[Back to Origins|40 remastered levels]] from the original ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', which are unlocked by scratching [[Lucky ticket|Lucky Tickets]]. [[Lucky ticket|Tickets]] are earned by collecting a certain amount of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] in a level, and each ticket is a guaranteed win of either [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], an ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'' painting, a [[Teensie]], or a [[Creature]]. Most new levels feature remixed 'Invaded' versions, which must be completed as quickly as possible. The game also offers daily and weekly [[Online Challenges|challenge stages]], in which players can compete with other players via leaderboards in challenges such as collecting a certain number of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] in a short time, or surviving the longest on a stage. More [[Online Challenges|challenge stages]] can be accessed by raising the player's 'awesomeness' rating, which increases by collecting trophies earned by rescuing [[Teensie]]s, collecting a high number of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] in each level or by having a high leaderboard position at the end of a [[Online Challenges|challenge]]. A local multiplayer soccer game, [[Kung Foot]], is also featured, in which players use attacks to knock a soccer ball into the opponent's goal.
 
Compared to ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', ''Rayman Legends'' features heavier shading on most sprites and even makes use of several 3D models (for the bosses of each world and several level elements). ''Legends'' also features real-time lighting, which was not present in ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]''; this new technology allowed for levels to employ a light/dark motif, seen especially in levels from [[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]]. Overall, the graphics, while still rendered with the 2D UbiArt engine that was also used in ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'', look more realistic, taking a step away from the slapstick, exaggerated cartoon visuals in ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]''. In addition to graphics, the physics were slightly altered, resulting in more precise movement and less "floaty" jumping.

On 27 April, 2012, the first full-length trailer for the game was leaked to the public.<ref>MCV, ''VIDEO: Rayman Legends trailer confirms special Wii U functionality'', http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/video-rayman-legends-trailer-confirms-special-wii-u-functionality/095175</ref> It features the aforementioned settings, gives more details on online gameplay and reveals a new playable character: a [[Betilla the Fairy|Betilla]]-like warrior girl known as [[Barbara]]. <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&v=gmx17Mwo-2c</ref> In the Wii U version of the game, the player will be able to use certain physical toys to interact with the game world; this is similar to the premise of ''Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure''. The trailer shows a player scanning a [[Rabbid]] toy to enter a level where [[Rayman]] must fight Rabbids, and hints that similar functionality will be possible with toys based on other [[Ubisoft]] characters, such as Ezio from the ''Assassin's Creed'' series. Ubisoft initially attempted to suppress the videos, but after a few hours they released an official statement, confirming that ''Rayman Legends'' was being developed by [[Michel Ancel]] and Ubisoft Montpellier, but downplaying the video's accuracy, claiming that 'This video was intended as a purely internal demonstrative video, and in NO way represents the final game, the final console or their features. The game was officially unveiled with a gameplay demonstration at the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo, showcasing Murphy, a new playable character, controlled via the Wii U system's touch screen on the tablet controller. It also showed medieval-themed stages as well as a rhythm-based map of [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman Origins)|the Land of the Livid Dead]] from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' featuring remixed music.  '<ref>Wii News at IGN, ''Wii U Details Revealed By Leaked Rayman Trailer'', http://ie.wii.ign.com/articles/122/1223893p1.html</ref>

On 27 April 2012, the first full-length trailer for the game was leaked to the public.<ref>MCV, ''VIDEO: Rayman Legends trailer confirms special Wii U functionality'', http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/video-rayman-legends-trailer-confirms-special-wii-u-functionality/095175</ref> It features the aforementioned settings, gives more details on online gameplay and reveals a new playable character: a [[Betilla]] the Fairy-like warrior girl known as [[Barbara]].<ref>YouTube, ''Rayman Legends: Introducing Barbara [EUROPE]'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmx17Mwo-2c</ref> In the Wii U version of the game, the player will be able to use certain physical toys to interact with the game world; this is similar to the premise of ''Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure''. The trailer shows a player scanning a [[Rabbid]] toy to enter a level where [[Rayman]] must fight [[Rabbid]]s, and hints that similar functionality will be possible with toys based on other [[Ubisoft]] characters, such as Ezio from the ''Assassin's Creed'' series. However, according to one of the developers, the demonstration of this function was just a joke due to the growing popularity of such toys. [[Ubisoft]] initially attempted to suppress the videos, but after a few hours they released an official statement, confirming that ''Rayman Legends'' was being developed by [[Michel Ancel]] and [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier]], but downplaying the video's accuracy, claiming that 'This video was intended as a purely internal demonstrative video, and in NO way represents the final game, the final console or their features. The game was officially unveiled with a gameplay demonstration at the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo, showcasing [[Murfy]], a new playable character, controlled via the Wii U system's touch screen on the tablet controller. It also showed medieval-themed stages as well as a rhythm-based map of the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' featuring remixed music.'<ref>Wii News at IGN, ''Wii U Details Revealed By Leaked Rayman Trailer'', http://ie.wii.ign.com/articles/122/1223893p1.html</ref>

Initially, when the ''Rayman Legends'' website was unveiled, it showed a different plot summary to what was seen in the final game:
File:Image rayman legends-19433-2528 0005.jpg
<blockquote>[[Rayman]], [[Globox]], and the [[Teensie]]s are off wandering through an enchanted forest when they discover a mysterious tent filled with a series of captivating paintings. As they look more closely, they notice each painting seems to tell the story of a mythical world. While focusing on a painting that shows a medieval land, they are suddenly sucked into the painting, entering the world, and the adventure begins. The gang must run, jump and fight their way through each world to save the day and discover the secrets of every legendary painting.</blockquote>

=== Delay ===
File:Rayman-legends-wii-u-wiiu-1338989906-023.jpg
It was originally set to be released on November 30, 2012, as a Wii U launch title. However, on October 8, 2012, it was reported to be delayed to the first quarter of 2013. On December 13, 2012, a [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] of the game was released on the eShop. The official release date was revealed to be February 26, 2013 for North America and the 1st March 2013 for Europe, still exclusively for the Wii U. However, on the 7th February 2013, [[Ubisoft]] revealed that the game was no longer a Wii U exclusive, and that there was a Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 version under development, consequently causing a delay for the second time and pushing the release date to September 2013.<ref name="IGN">IGN, ''DICE: Rayman Legends Delayed, No Longer Wii U Exclusive'', http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/02/07/rayman-legends-delayed-no-longer-wii-u-exclusive</ref> This delay was negatively received by gamers and critics since the developer stated that the Wii U version was finished. Fans started a petition for the game to be released on the original date on the Wii U, which at one point had over 11,000 people signed onto it. To appease fans, [[Ubisoft]] said the Wii U would get another exclusive [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] in the future, however this was just as negatively received. Developers that worked on the game have also expressed their distaste for the delay, with creator [[Michel Ancel]] also protesting for the release of the game.
File:Rayman-legends-wii-u-wiiu-1338989906-028.jpg
 
File:Raymanlegends01.jpg‎
In response to the delay, the development team have announced that they will be releasing the game's [[Online Challenges]] mode for free via the Nintendo eShop, which released on April 25, 2013. This mode features daily challenges based on one of five scenarios, one of which is exclusive to Wii U, and features online leaderboards and ghost functionality. They also stated that with the extra development time, they would be adding new levels, enemies and more to the game. Pre-orders of certain versions of the game come with a bonus costume for [[Barbara]], inspired by Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. On August 7, 2013, in a Nintendo Direct presentation, 2 new costumes were announced for the Wii U version: a [[Ray Plumber|Mario costume for Rayman]], and a [[Glob Plumber|Luigi costume for Globox]].

Additionally, during the delay, an assortment of 40 levels from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' were redone and added to ''Rayman Legends'' in the [[Back to Origins]] mode.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 8 - Rayman Legends: Rock Ancel Festival continues</ref>

On 23 August 2013, the [[Rayman Legends Beatbox|''Rayman Legends'' Beatbox App]] became available on the internet, iTunes, and Android devices. This app allows users to create their own songs from scratch, or by using Legendary Mode, which allows them to edit the game songs with 3 choices: [[Teensies In Trouble]], [[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]], and [[Fiesta de los Muertos]]. On 28 August 2013, [[Ubisoft]] announced on the ''Rayman Legends'' site that the European PlayStation Vita Version has been delayed to 12 September 2013 to apply the "Final level of polish" players expect from a [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' game]].

The game features various improvements to the Ubi Art Framework engine used in ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]''. These include a new dynamic lighting system, which lightens or silhouettes characters based on their environment, along with stealth sections that make use of light and shadow, and the seamless integration of 3D elements in 2D environments, made prominent in the game's 3D modelled bosses and monsters. Further improvements were made in the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, which uses upgraded graphics and has decreased load times.<ref>Polygon, ''Rayman Legends headed to PS4, Xbox One Feb. 25'', http://www.polygon.com/2013/12/11/5200310/rayman-legends-ps4-xbox-one-release-date</ref>

At one point, during an interview, [[Michel Ancel]] revealed some concept art for an unreleased world, named [[Drak's Nightmare]], and stating that maybe one day they would release it, thus suggesting DLC in the future.<ref>YouTube, ''Rayman Presentation - Unreleased Dracula Castle Level Concept'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d27RbKZi8gM</ref> This theme was later implemented into ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', a mobile spin-off.

== Ports ==
=== PlayStation Vita ===
A PlayStation Vita port<ref>YouTube, ''Rayman Legends - PS Vita Trailer [UK]'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXlsVfpuL0w</ref> was released in September 2013. This version has the player control [[Murfy]] on the touch-screen like on the Wii U version. A new painting, titled [[Murfy's Challenges]], was added with new levels and two new costumes. Several other stages have minor changes made to them. This version supports 2-player co-op, in which the second player controls [[Murfy]]. This is the only version to not have the [[Online Challenges]] go through Uplay. At launch the game didn't come with any Invasion levels. These were however added in the 1.02 patch in November 2013.

=== PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ===
In December 2013, a next-gen port was announced for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.<ref>YouTube, ''Rayman Legends Next Gen Announcement Trailer [North America]'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2dLyui0Vek</ref> These versions were released in February 2014 with the removal of loading screens and various other new features, such as being able to scratch [[Lucky ticket]]s using the touch-pad on the DualShock 4 and being able to enter a new photo mode. New [[List of heroes and costumes in UbiArt games|costumes]] were also added.

[[File:Rayman Definitive Edition logo.png|420px|thumb|right|The Definitive Edition's logo.]]
 
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. Within a few hours the [[List of Rayman demos|demo]] was removed from the eShop. On July 25, 2017, the game was officially announced to be launching on September 12, 2017 in both North America and Europe with the [[List of Rayman demos#Nintendo Switch|demo]] stated to be properly release later in Summer 2017. The demo was released close thereafter with the same content as the previously released one, though without the sound glitches.

=== Mainland China (Tencent Switch) ===
In mainland China, Nintendo partnered with Tencent to gain the necessary approvals to release the Switch there.<ref>Reuters, ''Tencent wins key approval to sell Nintendo's Switch in China'', https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tencent-nintendo-china/tencent-wins-key-approval-to-sell-nintendos-switch-in-china-idUSKCN1RU0YK/</ref> In order to meet the requirements of China's National Radio and Television Administration, the version of ''Rayman Legends'' distributed on this closed system has undergone a variety of minor changes. Some of the levels have different names than those found in the simplified Chinese localization of the multilingual version, and [[Assassin Ray]] is now called "Invisible Rayman". Visual modifications have also been made to remove skulls in some places.

== Reception ==
''Rayman Legends'' received critical acclaim from critics. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the Wii U version 92.59% and 91/100,the PlayStation 3 version 92.06% and 91/100,the PC version 90.00% and 88/100,the Xbox 360 version 88.88% and 90/100 and the PlayStation Vita version 83.33% and 87/100.
 
Edge gave the game a 9/10 praising it by saying "One of the most jubilant, vividly imagined and open-hearted platformers to come along in a long time".
 
GamesRadar gave the game a score of 4.5 out of 5 stars, praising the level variety and presentation, whilst criticizing the sometimes chaotic multiplayer and some of the touchscreen sections during solo play.
 
Tom McShea of GameSpot rated the game a 9.0/10 praising the game mechanics, the level design and the local co-op.
 
GameTrailers gave the game a score of 9.1/10, stating that the co-operative play on the Wii U GamePad "only serves to complement the game design."
 
Jose Otero of IGN rated the game a 9.5/10, praising the gameplay and the design of the levels, saying that "Naturally, [[Rayman]] starts out with simple running, jumping, and punching, but before you know it you’re sneaking past dozens of deadly traps, battling huge bosses, or playing through awesome challenge levels that look like '90s music videos. Every time I thought I found a personal favorite stage, the next one came along and replaced it", but criticized the absence of online co-op.
 
Danielle Riendeau of Polygon rated the game a 8.5/10 saying that it is "a beautifully designed gauntlet".
 
Although ''Legends'' outsold ''[[Rayman Origins|Origins]]'' in its first week from international sales with the Wii U version performing well, the game failed to meet sales expectations mostly due to the fact that it was released in the same month that Grand Theft Auto V came out, as well as the relatively un-established state of the Wii U user base. In early November 2014, [[Ubisoft]] reported that ''Rayman Legends'' was still selling well and contributing to the company's earnings.
 
''Rayman Legends Definitive Edition'' received generally favourable reviews,<ref>Metacritic, ''Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch Critic Reviews'', https://www.metacritic.com/game/rayman-legends-definitive-edition/critic-reviews/?platform=nintendo-switch</ref> however, some critics noted that the changes made to the game were not noteworthy enough to warrant the "Definitive" title. Digital Foundry also noted longer loading times and slight frame-rate drops not present in other versions, speculating that the cause was due to the compression used to reduce the size of the game.<ref>YouTube, ''Switch's Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition Is Not Really Definitive'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BENbHo5cvck</ref>
 
==Trivia==
*There are two music levels planned for the game that ended up getting scrapped: one would have used music from the 1973 movie ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mad_Adventures_of_Rabbi_Jacob The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob]'', and another would have been named "I'm [[Teensie]] & I Know It", a parody of a song by LMFAO that would have had the noses of the [[Teensie]]s sway to the rhythm of the song.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 8 - Rayman Legends: Rock Ancel Festival continues</ref>
*A companion app for the game, similar to the one made for ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed_IV:_Black_Flag Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]'', was originally meant to release in 2013. However, deadlines forced this idea to be scrapped.<ref>''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'', Chapter 8 - Rayman Legends: Rock Ancel Festival continues</ref>
*When playing in handheld mode on the Nintendo Switch version, similarly to the Wii U and Playstation Vita versions of the game, if two or more players are playing, tapping the screen will turn the first player into [[Murfy]], allowing him to perform actions previously exclusive to the aforementioned versions. Pressing one of the Joy-Con buttons on Player 1's controller will revert them to their character, albeit in a [[Bubble#Vitality|bubblized]] state. This function does not work in normal versions of levels that require [[Murfy]] (i.e. levels like [[Ropes Course]] or [[the Winds of Strange]], although he can be used in the invaded versions of these types of levels) or in boss battles.
