Rayman Legends delayed until 2013

Rayman Legends Small

Ubisoft has confirmed that Rayman Legends will not be released this year. Instead, the game is set for a worldwide launch in the first quarter of 2013. Here’s the official quote:

Rayman Legends will launch worldwide in the first quarter of 2013. We’re happy that fans are excited about the game, and we are taking the time to make sure we deliver a game that lives up to and hopefully exceeds their expectations. We’ll have more details to share soon.

There’s still a lot of launch titles to spend time with, of course, but this is still a bummer.

    Nooooo! Not the game I was going to get on launch day! D’:
    Well, I guess that’s alright. I don’t mind waiting until then.

    On the bright side….At least we have more time to save up money!

      Came in to say that exact thing, wonder what I’ll put my Rayman Legends money to…

    i think they didn’t want to go head to head with mario personly

  • Luciano Fran

    that giant megatron head looks like its compensating for something

  • Marty

    At least its not second or third quarter.

    Aw, I was really looking forward to this as a launch title. It make a significant difference in the selection quality. But oh well, I would rather them take their time than release some half-assed piece of crap.
    *Quotes overly-used quote by Miyamoto* “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is bad forever”.

      Of course delaying doesn’t always make a good game though. Just look at Duke Nukem Forever. However in this case as many people have already played the game and said its good, it probably will be.

      I think this might have been delayed so it didn’t launch at the same time as Mario though, using “we wanted to make it better” as an excuse.

      How on earth do you have several YEARS to develop a game and end up making it suck???

      they probably didn’t keep what made the game famous in the first place… or they added so much bs to the game that the famous part got placed into obscurity

    Well that sort of sucks!

    Maybe they’re changing the game so an AI doesn’t control Rayman for most of the game.

    the sales would have been decimated by everything else at launch and they know that, NSMBU in particular wasn’t the best game for it to go up against.

      And it’s own games

    I see this as a good thing mainly because they’ve got more time to fine-tune the game, add in anything they deign the game, plus its to optimize on sales since it would’ve been going up against big titles like ZombiU and NSMBU.

    A shame but perhaps for the best, they will have more time to work on the game improving the overall experience :)

    Ah well I wanted it, but it was on the bottom of my list anyway.

  • coolsarahkry

    WHAT? Delaying a launch title? Bummer…

  • RayMarioSonicU

    I saw this coming. Especially after Origins for the 3DS has been delayed a lot. Hopefully the same doesn’t happen for this game.
