The platformer king returns in his 2D glory!

Rayman Origins, a whimsical, colorful, and phenomenally playable reboot bringing the series back to its 2D roots and allowing to visit its fantastic world with up to three friends in co-op mode, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $9.99 for the next 48 hours!

[url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/rayman_origins][/url]Rayman is an iconic character and his platformer games entertained generations of gamers. As many other platformer series, his adventures also took a turn into the realm of 3D. They were quite successful at that, mind you, but there's something about the run-and-jump genre, that simply makes it work best in two dimensions. Rayman Origins takes us back to the 2D roots of platformer gaming, and reminds us why this kind of graphics and this kind of gameplay is a perfect match. Plus, it introduces a lot of fresh ideas while doing so.

Rayman Origins is an explosion of action, color, fun, and joy. The cartoony 2D graphics pictures a beautiful world full of magic, wonder, and strangeness that will instantly charm its explorers. The fast-paced platforming gameplay paired with perfect controls and masterful level design make this title an instant classic of the platformer genre. The tone of the game is whimsical and lighthearted, but that does not mean it comes without challenge. Luckily, you can bring up to three friends along for the mad chase through the Glade of Dreams in the well-executec co-op mode. Whether you are a Rayman fan looking to be reunited with some of the iconic characters from the series, or a newcomer in the Raymanverse, this game is guaranteed to bring you much fun and joy.

If you've ever enjoyed a platformer game--any platformer game!--there's a great chance you'll instantly fall in love with Rayman Origins. Get it now, DRM-free, for only $9.99 on GOG.com. The half-price offer lasts until Thursday, June 6, at 9:59AM GMT.
YEEEEESSSSSSSS!

Payment should come soon....
Oh my God, great!!

Barry_Woodward: Never say never. It started out as a Wii U exclusive, now there are ports planned for PS3, Vita and Xbox 360. I'd wager PC isn't far behind.

Your right.I dont see anything on Ubi's forums saying there wont be a PC port... just those other ones are listed at the moment as ports planned
Will we see more recent Ubisoft releases now or was this to be expected since the game was already DRM-free? Anyway, awesome release, bought it!
And now that I'm on a secure network, INSTA-- oh wait, I barely scrape by system requirements, it'll be Giana Sisters all over again. Wishlisted until better times.

you can try the demo on steam. I'm running a shitty 3 gig pentium 4 and it ran pretty well.

Not my intention :(
Interesting release for a kind of boring game.

Art is pretty good but it's not the -most- important in a game.

jamyskis: Also, the game is €10 at retail. $10 is a bargain, but the standard asking price of $20 isn't a compelling sales argument (even if the game is easily worth that)
avatar
MasodikTiasma: Indeed in France too at retail (FNAC) it's €10. But the digital distribution prices are startling!
Amazon.fr: €14.99 Amazon.co.uk: £14.99 Amazon.com: $29.99 Steam: €14.99

So, yeah Gog! Even at full price this is a good deal... Oh, and expect a crappy Steam sale in the coming days though, just like every time GOG releases a title already on Steam.
Yep, Steam seems quite threatened by GOG don't they? I think they have realized many gamers would prefer DRM-free to the restrictive gaming service they provide, so if they have a choice they'll get it here.

And yes, this is an awesome game. I'll be picking it up on GOG in the next few weeks. :)

yonazzan73: The most impressive 2D platformer ever, and up there with SMW and SM3 in gameplay terms.

I Bought it on a Steam sale, loved it, and I've just bought it again so I can have a DRM, bullshitfree copy.

No kidding, if you like platformers, just buy it

skordakias: Steam version is also DRM free, but in general you are right (GOG >>> Steam)
Really? Whenever I start the game the Steam client strarts, connects and then lets me play. And when I quit the game it shows me some ads I didn't ask for and keeps running in the background hoping I don't notice.

Maybe it's not DRM, but it's annoying as hell.

So I agree 100% with you, GOG>Steam by a long shot

Don't be ridiculous. We're gamers.

Indeed, the PC release appeared to be a bit of an eleventh-hour decision at the time. The same may happen this time around.
