==History==

Initially, it was announced that ''Rayman Origins'' would be an episodic release, and that the first episode would be released in late 2010. This approach was eventually scrapped after a delay: the game would instead be given a retail release in late 2011, in order that it might be a 'real sequel', in the words of Ancel. ''Rayman Origins'' was originally announced as a prequel to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], intended to explore how ‘...this uncontrollable individual ([[Rayman]]) and his grotesque companion ([[Globox]]) become the heroes that we know...’ However, the prequel approach appears to have been disregarded at some point in the game's development: the final version contains many references to the previous games, suggesting that it is a sequel which takes place after the other instalments. The game's first trailer finally reveals Rayman's origins, which were hinted at in [[the Knowledge of the World]] in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'' eleven years before: ‘Conjured from the magnificent moonbeams of the second summer solstice, woven together by [the] nymphs, destined to preserve the equilibrium of the sacred universe: the one we call... Rayman!’ The ‘nymph’ who creates Rayman in this flashback is ~~a younger version of~~ [[Betilla the Fairy]].
