Rayman Legends slips to 2013

The Wii U has lost one of its most promising launch titles.

Ubisoft has confirmed that Rayman Legends will now miss its previous November 30th release date and instead arrive in the New Year.

Rayman Legends will launch worldwide in the first quarter of 2013,” a Ubisoft spokesperson told MCV.

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.”

Fortunately Wii U buyers have another platformer to fall back on – Nintendo’s own New Super Mario Bros U. Disney’s Epic Mickey 2 is also scheduled for the console’s launch.
