VGS: 'Rayman Origins released in late 2011, initially for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii. In Europe, buyers could also purchase a special collector’s edition, for Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. This is the Xbox 360 version.'
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
Ubisoft is giving away Rayman Origins for free and although it is a decade old, it is still one of the greatest classic platformer titles.
i think they should try to make a rayman 3D open world game for PS5 & Xbox Series X
Still waiting for an origins and legends successor. My wife and i were addicted to these games at the time.
I'll be curious if they make one. If they do, it won't look like they did, at least. Ubisoft retired the UbiArt framework used to make these games, apparently because the tools were too hard to work with across their many studios. Which is a bummer for sure, as I feel those games having a fairly unique aesthetic also benefitted them.
EDIT: Apparently I misremembered. They did say "hence the decision to temporarily put it aside", but they also said "it’s still there, and you will see other things using it". So it sounds like a new game could possibly still use UbiArt.
Fantastic game. Have great memories playing Origins on the Vita.
I will say though, around 2/3s of Origins' levels can actually be unlocked in the even better Rayman Legends which you can find dirt cheap these days.
Legends has so much variety and those music levels are amazing.

Damn, wish I'd seen that when I bought my copy. Love Rayman and that is one cool CE.
i just picked this game up for my Vita. im enjoying it so far
Yeh at the time of the game's release. I had no idea this collectors edition was released. Until if was perusing through games at a shop one day and came across it.
What a great article! Not all of us can afford or have the opportunity to buy a collectors edition, so this is a great way to see these editions in more intimate detail.
Keep it up mate!
You should stick at it, it's more a case of finding a way to get your work out there. If you ever fancy writing a guest post for us at infiniterobots.co.uk to promote your collection, give me a shout.
