Rayman (series): Difference between revisions

The ''Rayman'' series began in 1995 with the release of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], a 2D sidescrolling platformer set in a region known as [[the valley]]. This was followed in 1999 by ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', a 3D platformer sequel. The year 2003 saw the release of another 3D platformer, ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. In 2005, Phoenix Interactive attempted to develop a new 3D platformer under the title ''[[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|Rayman 4]]''; however, this was cancelled in favour of ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype)|Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', a different 3D platformer which was being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier. However, it was similarly cancelled. Many of its elements were recycled into a spin-off party game, also titled ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', which went on to spawn its own [[Rabbids (series)|series]] of sequels, which bore progressively less resemblance to the ''Rayman'' series. In 2011, ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', a side-scrolling 2D platformer sequel, was released. In 2012, a direct sequel, ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', was announced.

==Backstory==

===''Rayman Adventures''===

''[[Rayman Adventures]]'' is, similarly to ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'' and ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', a 2D running game. Unlike the previous games, the player can now freely change direction, and if a gamepad is connected, have complete free control of the character. The game is available for free on iOS and Android devices, and therefor focuses on micro-transactions in the form of [[gems]], which can be used to purchase items and speed of waiting times, and costume packs. The game has received the most updates out of any Rayman game, and is as of writing still being updated with new content.
