Rumor: Rayman Origins sequel outed through marketing survey
Screenshots, gameplay concepts, or something else entirely?
Tipsters over at Kotaku forwarded them a series of screenshots that could very well confirm a sequel for Rayman Origins. The series of images is taken from a marketing survey gaging gamers' interest, a common practice to determine demographics for targeted advertising.
The shots tease a Greek fantasy setting with dragons and what appears to be an Olympic-style race. A block of marketing text reads:
"The sequel to Rayman origins will feature brand new settings: legendary worlds filled with castles, vampires, Ghosts, Greek Gods, or dragons..."
Despite the lack of proper grammar (these marketing surveys are generally very poorly done), the in-game pictures seem to be on-par with Rayman Origins quality. I haven't played enough of the original to tell if this is a cleverly done Photoshop, or perhaps just screenshots from a handheld Rayman title, however. Perhaps this is all just one big misunderstanding.
If there's one thing for certain, it's that Rayman Origins will get a sequel eventually. Ubisoft loves quickly making sequels for its popular properties, something Rayman has experienced before with Raving Rabbids. We'll update you further when Ubisoft comments on the leaked images.

As far as I'm concerned though, it was GOTY last year. *bleep*en loved the hell out of it.
