Ubisoft has announced that Rayman Legends is no longer a Wii U exclusive and will be released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in addition to Nintendo's new console. The game was scheduled for release in less than a month, but the company has pushed the release date back to September 2013 for all three versions.
Ubisoft Montpellier, the development studio behind the Wii U version, will be working on all three versions themselves. Here's an excerpt from the press release on why the game is no longer exclusive to the Wii U.
“We heard from many Xbox & Playstation owners and Rayman fans who told us they really wanted to play Rayman Legends on their current system”, says Geoffroy Sardin EMEA Chief Marketing & Sales Officer at Ubisoft. ”We decided to give the fans what they wanted while at the same time broadening the audience exposed to this innovative and memorable game.”
Many aspects of Rayman Legends were designed around the Wii U GamePad, such as five-player multiplayer and touchscreen controls in some levels. Ubisoft has made no mention of how the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will differ from the Wii U version. You can watch 23 minutes of gameplay footage after the break.
