Ubisoft has announced a brand new Rayman game without Raving Rabbids in the title called Rayman Origins. No platforms were announced, but it looks to be a downloadable HD title for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
Rayman creator Michel Ancel is developing the 2D platformer Rayman Origins as an episodic saga. Michel Ancel’s ubi-art.com framework was touted as responsible for the game’s visuals and small development team size of only five people. The below trailer also shows co-op gaming as Rayman is joined by his bloodbrother Globox.
The story goes as follows: “Rayman Origins is the story of two friends, or rather two outrageous scoundrels that spend their time pestering the little magical folk. Yes, in the beginning Rayman was more into handing out free slaps than into world saving. Strangely enough it is this very eventful story we are interested in: how did this uncontrollable individual and his grotesque companion become the heroes that we know? Patience, the answers will come…”
