Rayman Legends confirmed for PS Vita

Ubisoft has confirmed that Rayman Legends will be heading to the PlayStation Vita on 29 August.

The handheld edition will feature all of the content from the console versions, as well as five exclusive maps playable with Murphy, who is controlled using the rear touchpad.

Vita owners will also get the chance to dress Rayman in a costume from Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell.

Rayman Legends has been through a complicated design process, as it was originally announced as a Wii U exclusive.

Ubisoft then decided to make the platformer available to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners, which led to the Wii U version being delayed despite the game being finished.

This obviously angered many Wii U owners, but at least there'll be 30 extra levels added due to the release date being pushed back.
