Rayman Legends is an upcoming 2D platform game, and a direct sequel to Rayman Origins.

Shortly after the game's November 2011 release, Michel Ancel stated 'One has to know that Rayman Origins isn't just one game – we plan to make others, with retro 2D gameplay, and to give more and more details on the story.'[1] In March 2012, artistic director Christophe Villez hinted that a new Rayman game would be revealed in June, at E3 2012.[2] Also in March 2012, Bertrant Chaverot, the general director of Ubisoft Brazil, stated that Rayman Origins would have a continuation, but did not reveal any details.[3]

On 23 April, 2012, a marketing survey containing information about Rayman Legends was leaked to the games media. The survey contained several pieces of information regarding the Rayman Origins sequel, along with two gameplay videos (though only screenshots of these were included in the leak). Like its predecessor, the game will feature co-operative gameplay with up to four players. It will also feature 'brand new settings: legendary worlds filled with castles, vampires, Ghosts, Greek Gods, or dragons...'[4] The following day, the videos from which the images were taken were uploaded to YouTube, but both were quickly taken down at the request of Ubisoft.[5]

On 26 April, 2012, Ubisoft registered the domain names 'RaymanLegends.com' and 'Rayman-Legends.com',[6] leading to speculation that Rayman Legends would be the title of the Rayman Origins sequel.

On 27 April, 2012, the first full-length trailer for the game was leaked to the public.[7] It features the aforementioned settings, gives more details on online gameplay and reveals a new playable character : a Betilla-like warrior girl. In the WiiU 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.
