Rayman is invoked by the Fairy Council to save the Glade of Dream from “nefurrious” Darktoons. To help him, he teams up with his best friend, Globox, and two crafty wizards, the Teensies.

Players can control Rayman in the solo campaign, or have up to three friends join in or leave any time the game as Globox or as one of the two Teensies in the offline multiplayer mode using four controllers on one computer. There are 60 vast levels of 2D platforming gameplay to explore suited for all ages and all playing styles.  Players can unlock new abilities progressively and return to previous levels to discover new paths and secrets.

Rayman Origins PC will be available in retail stores and as well as on e-shops and Ubishop. Fans who pre-order Rayman Origins PC through any e-shop will receive a free downloadable copy of Rayman 2. Ubishop link: www.ubishop.com/raymanoriginspc
