Rayman Legends gets console-specific preorder bonuses

Publisher cross-promotion dresses Rayman as other Ubisoft characters and is exclusive to Game stores in the UK.

Ubisoft has announced console-specific preorder bonuses for upcoming platformer Rayman Legends.

Wii U owners will get a skin of Assassin's Creed III: Liberation's Aveline De Grandpré for Rayman Legends co-star Barbara. PlayStation 3 owners will get to fashion Rayman in the garb of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag protagonist Edward Kenway, and Xbox 360 owners will get to dress their Rayman as if he was Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher, complete with iconic night vision goggles.

In the UK, the preorder skins will be available from retailer Game, and GameSpot has contacted Ubisoft to confirm North America availability.

Ubisoft has also unveiled details on Rayman Legends' "20,000 Lums under the Sea" world, an ocean setting that will feature stealth elements and allow players to manipulate the light and darkness of its levels.

Rayman Legends was scheduled to be released exclusively on the Wii U in February 2013, but was pushed back to September to make way for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the title. News of the delay caused some of the game's developers to protest outside Ubisoft Montpellier's offices, though Ubisoft later said the extra time has allowed for the creation of 30 new levels.

Rayman Legends will be released in North America on September 3, and in Europe on August 30.

I wished they just put some costumes on the marketplace and they include one code that make you to choose one of those costumes.



 

Wii U owners get a skin of a Vita game. Ok, I admit it, that's funny.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Wait, Wii U gets the Vita reference? Hahaha what's going on here??

I have the feeling that the rumored vita version has been scrapped and they just reused that preorder incentive for the Wii U version. I mean, who gives a fuck anyway.

It would have made more sense to swap the Wii U and PS3 bonuses.

Yeah but I think Sony rushed in to call dibs on the AC 4 skin. AC:L is an old hat now, Sony wants to promote AC 4 with that 60 minutes of exclusive content.

Wii U preorder is odd.....

*Preordered back in October*

Well better than nothing I guess....

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a ZombiU skin? Or any skin from a Ubisoft game that was actually on a Nintendo console?

A zombie Rayman skin would actually be pretty neat!
