New Rayman Announced, Probably Not What You're Hoping For

Ubisoft has announced Rayman Adventures, an all-new platformer coming soon to smartphones and tablets, not console.

Adventures sees players venturing into an enchanted forest to reclaim ancient eggs that sustain the life of a "sacred tree." These eggs were stolen by some jerk, of course.

You'll visit haunted medieval castles along with the mythical worlds of Olympus. Rayman is the star of the game, but he's joined by Barbara, his Viking companion.

The game's announcement trailer shows off some very gorgeous visuals that don't look all that different from the most recent console games, Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends.

Adventures is not the first Rayman game for mobile devices. Ubisoft previously released two autorunners based on the franchise: Rayman Jungle Run and Rayman Fiesta Run.

Ubisoft did not announce specific platforms for Adventures, but iOS and Android are safe bets. We also don't know yet if Adventures is a free-to-play or paid game. We'll have more information on the game as it becomes available.
