''[[Rayman Legends]]'' had a bunch of changes made during early production, most which has been seen through early leak of the game.

== Leaks ==

''[[Rayman Legends]]'' was first leaked on April 23, 2012 in a marketing survey with screenshots from two early trailers. The following day, the trailers were uploaded to YouTube, but both were quickly taken down at the request of [[Ubisoft]]. On 26 April, 2012, [[Ubisoft]] registered the domain names 'RaymanLegends.com' and 'Rayman-Legends.com', confirming the name of the game.

On 27 April, 2012, the first full-length trailer for the game was leaked to the public. [[Ubisoft]] initially attempted to suppress the videos, but after a few hours they released an official statement, confirming that ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' was being developed by [[Michel Ancel]] and [[Ubisoft Montpellier]].

=== Gameplay ===

Early gameplay leaks shows that the game was originally more similar to ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.

=== Wii U functionality ===

[[File:Early Wii U touch feature.png|thumb|right|[[Murfy]] did originally not appear in the game.]]

One of the leaked trailers show an early Wii U feature where the player can put a figure, such as a [[Rabbid]] figure, on the Wii U gamepad to effect the game in various ways. It is not known in which way they effect the game. The Rabbids as seen appearing in the game were later used in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'' for its [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|event]]s.

=== Online features ===

[[File:Social gaming challenge.png|thumb|right|A cut social feature where players could send each other challenges.]]

According to the leaked trailers, ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' was originally going to feature several more online features. One of these seems to have been a feature in which players could send challenges to each other to earn rubis, a form a currency not used in the final game. One of the locations the challenges could have taken place in is the Ghost's Pit, which is supposedly the original name for [[the Neverending Pit]].

It also seems that [[Kung Foot]] was originally planned to be played online, rather than locally.

== E3 trailer ==

During E3 2012, an official trailer was revealed showing what would later become the level [[Once upon a Time]]. There are several differences throughout the level, and the final area was later used in [[How to Shoot your Dragon]] instead. One of the biggest differences is the first challenges room which features a new type of minigame known as Catch 'em All, a reference to Pokemon. This challenge would have seen one player controlling [[Murfy]] on the touchpad and moving over [[creature]]s to the other players before the time runs out. Other differences include [[cage]]s containing two trapped [[Teensie]]s, different ways which [[Murfy]] could interact with the environment and unused music.

~~On April 23rd 2012, four screenshots of an alleged sequel to ''~~[[~~Rayman Origins~~]]'~~' were leaked, along~~ with ~~the information that the game would be set in a new, darker universe, with watercolour art style and polygonal models, feature ghosts, dragons and Greek gods, and contain online mini-games~~. ~~On April 24th, another set of eight screenshots was leaked~~.
