Rayman Origins sequel outed

Purported Ubisoft marketing survey polls gamers on follow-up to 2011 platformer with ghosts, Greek gods, and dragons.

Rayman Origins may be getting a mythology-focused sequel. An anonymous tipster sent Kotaku screengrabs from an Arkenford marketing survey, which indicate Ubisoft is preparing a Rayman Origins follow-up with a range of fictional creatures

The survey reportedly indicates that a Rayman Origins sequel will bundle a number of new features including "legendary worlds" brimming with castles, vampires, ghosts, Greek gods, or dragons.

On top of the fresh additions, the survey indicated that a Rayman Origins sequel would retain the original's four-player drop-in, drop-out co-op and 2D visuals.

Rayman Origins shipped last November to a warm critical reception for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii, with subsequent releases for the PlayStation Vita, PC, and Mac. Ubisoft has not announced future plans for the series, and as of press time, the publisher had not responded to request for comment.

They need not change a single thing, literally. Brilliant game.

Agreed.

I played some on Vita, and have it on PC. I am enjoying it a lot. Great time-killer and distraction

I need to sit down and play the first game once and for all. I have the Vita version, but I've been so caught up with other games lately (first Mass Effect 3, now Tribes: Ascend and Trials Evolution) that I haven't had an opportunity to sit down and play it. I definitely want to sink my teeth into it though. It looks quite awesome.

It's nice to see that the first game sold enough copies to justify a sequel. I was initially worried that it wouldn't sell, especially with the sort of climate that we have in the gaming world nowadays (not to sound bitter or cynical).
