New media: Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc

Ubi Soft has released a new movie and screenshots from Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc, the next installment in its popular platforming franchise. The game will feature Ubi Soft's limbless mascot, but focus of the series' gameplay has been changed to concentrate more on combat. In order to facilitate the change, Ubi Soft has included five special abilities that Rayman may acquire throughout the game. In addition, some of Rayman's prior abilities have been altered--he can now shoot fireballs from both hands.

With its increased emphasis on action and the stunning graphics the franchise is known for, Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc should be closely watched. We'll have much more on the game in the near future.
