Line 103:

It didn't take Rayman long to convince the people of [[the Glade of Dreams]] of his good intentions. His energy and good humour, his fantastical powers and love of life and nature won over even the most distrustful of creatures. And when he triumphed over the evil [[Mr Dark|Mister Dark]], the truth was undeniable: Rayman was the bravest of them all, the ideal hero, the man for whom friendship and laughter are more important than anything else, for whom the greatest victory is measured by the extent of the celebrations that follow it.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman 2]]''}}

A revised origin story for Rayman was revealed at the E3 expo of 2010, when [[Ubisoft]] showed a trailer for the upcoming game ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. The trailer showed the creation of Rayman by [[Betilla]] the Fairy. At this point in its development, ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' was intended as a two-player episodic downloadable prequel to the series, but it was eventually retooled into a four-player sequel with a retail release. A final, slightly modified version of Rayman's origin story was eventually offered on the official ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' website in November 2011, and can also be found in the game's manual.
