'''''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 it features very similar gameplay as such. It was initially planned to be a release title for the Wii U, but on the 8th October 2012, Ubisoft stated that ''Rayman Legends'' had been delayed to the first quarter of 2013. By the end of 2012, Ubisoft had confirmed that the new release dates for the game would be the 26th February 2013 for North America and the 1st March 2013 for Europe, 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 PS3 and Xbox 360 version under development, consequently causing a delay for the second time and pushing the release date to September of 2013. On the 25th April 2013, Ubisoft decided to release the game at the end of August 2013 for Europe and the beginning of September in North America in order to avoid competition from other upcoming high-profile games titles from other companies. 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 skins, on 28th May 2013. A PC release was also confirmed on 25th July. The game was also released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in February 2014. In 2017, an enhanced port, titled ''Rayman Legends Definitive Edition'', was announced to release on the Nintendo Switch.
'''The Desert of the Knaaren''' is the fifth of the nine levels of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. It is a harsh, scorching plain of sand, dotted by rocky outcrops and yawning chasms. The huge dinosaur-like skeletons which lie on the sand resemble those seen in [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]] in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''. The desert looks hellish at first sight. However, beneath the barren, lifeless surface is a vast tunnel and cave system that delves deep into the rocky under-layers. This is where the native species of this land, the [[Knaaren]], dwell.

A smartphone game based on Legends' art style, ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', was developed by UbiSoft Casablanca and released for iOS and Android devices on 7 November 2013.

The Desert of the Knaaren

The Desert of the Knaaren is the fifth of the nine levels of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. It is a harsh, scorching plain of sand, dotted by rocky outcrops and yawning chasms. The huge dinosaur-like skeletons which lie on the sand resemble those seen in the Cave of Bad Dreams in Rayman 2. The desert looks hellish at first sight. However, beneath the barren, lifeless surface is a vast tunnel and cave system that delves deep into the rocky under-layers. This is where the native species of this land, the Knaaren, dwell. The Knaaren carved their tunnels out of the solid rock, and they guard their domain fiercely and effectively, constantly patrolling the many passages.

Rayman is sent here from the Land of the Livid Dead by the second Teensie Doctor, Roméo Patti. Like Otto Psi, Roméo was unable to extract the Black Lum André from Globox's body, so Roméo sends Rayman and Globox to the Desert of the Knaaren, where the third Teensie Doctor, Gonzo, has his office. Along the way, Rayman and Globox fall into the tunnels, and Globox is captured by the Knaaren. Rayman must fight his way past Knaaren and Zombie Chickens, and solve many puzzles along the way. Eventually he is captured by Reflux, the champion of the Knaaren, who challenges him to a duel in the arena. Once Rayman succeeds, Globox is freed, and Gumsi, the child-king of the Knaaren, uses the Sceptre of the Leptys to their god, the Leptys, who grants Rayman the Grimace ability as a reward. The heroes then meet up with Gonzo, who summons the other two doctors. Together they finally manage to extract André, who escapes and tracks down the humiliated Reflux. André promises Reflux the opportunity to destroy Rayman once and for all if he will steal the Sceptre of the Leptys for him, and his promise is fulfilled in the Tower of the Leptys, the game's final level.
