A flurry of speculations had erupted following the leak of a supposed trailer of Rayman Legends for the Wii U, until Ubisoft through a statement, confirmed that the title is indeed under development. This video was first outed by French gaming website, Gamekult and it was quick to spread around the Internet.
Through a statement sent to VG247, Ubisoft has said that the leaked video was meant for internal production teams, and does not represent the final game. However, the company has verified that this title is under development. From all that’s being made out through the video, the most prominent talking point is the supposed NFC capabilities of Nintendo’s next generation console. Have a look at the video to see what we’re talking about.
“An internal video showing images of Rayman Origins’ sequel has leaked over the Internet. This video was intended as a purely internal demonstrative video, and in NO way represents the final game, the final console or their features. This video was destined for internal production teams who often create game prototypes with work in progress development kits. Ubisoft confirms the development of Rayman Legends handled by Michel Ancel and his team in Montpellier,” read a declaration from Ubisoft.
The last title in the much loved series was Rayman Origins, which was initially released for the PS3, Xbox 360 and the Wii, following which, it made its debut on the PS Vita and PC. Moreover, it is also slated to be launched for the 3DS in June this year. The game revolves around the story of Rayman, his friend Globox and two teensies, as they fight Darktoons that have infected the Glade of Dreams.
