Rayman (series)

The Rayman series is an action platform video game series. The series was created by French games designer Michel Ancel, and each instalment has been published by Ubisoft. The protagonist of the games is the heroic Rayman, a character destined to combat the forces of evil and preserve the equilibrium of the universe. The games take place in a fantastical world known as the Glade of Dreams, which was dreamed into existence by the god Polokus and is sustained by a mystical keystone known as the Heart of the World.
The Rayman series began in 1995 with the release of the original Rayman game, a 2D sidescrolling platformer set in a region known as the valley. This was followed in 1999 by Rayman 2, a 3D platformer sequel. The year 2003 saw the release of another 3D platformer, Rayman 3. In 2005, Phoenix Interactive attempted to develop a new 3D platformer under the title Rayman 4; however, this was cancelled in favour of Rayman Raving Rabbids, a different 3D platformer which was being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier. However, it was similarly cancelled. Many of its elements were recycled into a spin-off party game, also titled Rayman Raving Rabbids, which went on to spawn its own series of sequels, which bore progressively less resemblance to the Rayman series. In 2011, Rayman Origins, a side-scrolling 2D platformer sequel, was released. In 2012, a mobile spin-off of Rayman Origins was released, titled Rayman Jungle Run. In 2013, a direct sequel of Origins, titled Rayman Legends, was released. Later in 2013, a mobile spin-off of Rayman Legends was released, titled Rayman Fiesta Run. In 2015, another mobile spin-off of Legends was released, titled Rayman Adventures.
