Today (November 17) Ubisoft are celebrating the 20th anniversary of one of their biggest franchises and brands in Rayman. 28 million units associated with Rayman have been sold in the past two decades, making him an iconic and emblematic character within the video game industry.
Created in 1995 with no arms or legs, Rayman was a brand new hero created by a team led by Michel Ancel and Frederic Houde.
Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubisoft comments: "Rayman is one of Ubisoft's most iconic and beloved characters, and he is still going strong 20 years after his creation. That is a testament to our teams' expertise and passion, and our ability to take the Rayman franchise in exciting new directions.
"As a fan of Rayman from Day one, it's always an exciting and special moment for me when we welcome a new installment in the series. I'm looking forward to Rayman fans getting their hands on Rayman Adventures and to creating more adventures and fun with him in the years to come."
Rayman returns this December for a brand new epic journey with new companions, the Incrediballs onboard, in Rayman Adventures. Though the title is currently available only on Apple TV, it will be released to mobile platforms on December 3.
