New Rayman Origins Trailer Shows Off Environments and Bosses

Rayman Origins is one of those titles coming out in mid-November that I’m going to have to put on the back burner until Christmas break thanks to Skyward Sword, but aside from Super Mario 3D Land it’s probably the game I’m most excited to play this holiday.

I loved Rayman 2 back in its N64 days thanks to its silly presentation and interesting gameplay, sound, and so on (I still play the PlayStation 2 port from time to time), but I never really got a chance to check out his 2D adventures. Now with Rayman Origins I’ll get to experience Rayman in full retro glory – but this isn’t just a retro throwback, it’s the epitome of a modern side-scrolling platformer.

Ubisoft churned out a trailer, titled the “Around the World” trailer, that shows off all the game’s beautifully-rendered environments as well as a few of the massive and ridiculous bosses. They also tagged the game’s release dates onto the end in the various regional versions: November 15 in America, November 24 in Australia, and November 25 in Europe.
