Ubisoft’s much loved 2011 title, Rayman Origins, is all set to make its debut on PC as well as the PS Vita. While the PC version won’t be out until March 30, its Vita counterpart is slated to hit store shelves on February 14, that’s the day on which the handheld’s First Edition bundles will be launched.
The PC version of this game will enable players to control Rayman in the solo campaign. Moreover, up to three friends would be able to join in or leave the game anytime in the offline multiplayer mode. They can either play as Globox or as one of the two Teensies, using four controllers on one computer. Meanwhile, Ubisoft has revealed on the official PlayStation blog that this title will be released for the Vita along with several exclusive features.
Alex Monney, PR Specialist, Ubisoft, wrote on the blog, “We also have some great PS Vita-specific features available for Rayman Origins. First, for those looking to really appreciate all the hand-drawn art of Rayman Origins, players can pinch the front touchscreen to zoom in, so you can better appreciate the detailed character and level design that our studio in Montpellier worked so hard to deliver. Playing with a zoomed-in camera view also delivers a new experience and is critical in discovering the game’s many hidden secrets.”
Furthermore, the developer has infused the PS Vita version of Rayman Origins with a new mode called Ghost mode which allows players to challenge their friends in fast-paced speed runs. Required configurations for the PC version of this game were also announced by the developer. A minimum of a 1.8GHz processor, 1.5GB of memory and 128MB of graphic capabilities are some of the highlights.
Rayman Origins is slated to release for PC on March 30, 2012, whereas it will go on sale for the PS Vita on February 14. The latter version is currently available for pre-order at a price of 39.99 USD (approx. Rs. 2,010).
