Rayman Origins

Game Overview

Rayman Origins marks a triumphant return to traditional two-dimensional platforming action for the legendary Ubisoft franchise. When the loud snoring of Rayman and his friends disturbs an old neighbor in the Underworld, an army of malicious Darktoons and nightmare creatures is unleashed to conquer the Glade of Dreams. Rayman and his companions must venture across diverse lands to liberate the Electoons and restore peace to their home world.

The gameplay focuses on tight, momentum-based platforming across more than 60 meticulously designed levels. As players progress through the campaign, they unlock iconic hero abilities—including running on walls, hovering using Rayman’s hair helicopter, diving underwater, and shrinking in size. Each level is packed with hidden Electoon cages, Lum collectibles, and challenging speed-run trials that test platforming precision and timing.

Designed to accommodate solo players as well as groups, Rayman Origins features seamless drop-in/drop-out local cooperative play for up to four players simultaneously. Players can slap each other, combine abilities to reach high secret areas, and rescue bubble-trapped teammates, creating a fun balance of teamwork and chaotic platforming action.
