Ubisoft has confirmed that one of its big upcoming Nintendo Wii U exclusives, Rayman Legends, will also be released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this September.

Rayman Origins impressed millions of players from all around the world across many different platforms, from the PS3 and Xbox 360 to the PC, Nintendo 3DS or PS Vita.

Even so, Ubisoft surprised a lot of fans by confirming that Rayman Legends, the successor to the colorful puzzle platformer, will be released only on the Wii U.

According to the company, lots of Rayman fans who own the two consoles have expressed their desire for the new game to appear on their platforms.

"We heard from many Xbox & Playstation owners and Rayman fans who told us they really wanted to play Rayman Legends on their current system," Geoffroy Sardin, EMEA Chief Marketing & Sales Officer, said in an official statement. "We decided to give the fans what they wanted while at the same time broadening the audience exposed to this innovative and memorable game."

Ubisoft also posted a brand new description of the game, hyping up its different features, from the same great hectic puzzle platforming experience to its stunning environments and visual design.

"Rayman Legends retains the fantasy appeal of its predecessor while adding a multitude of clever and entertaining gaming modes, new characters, new environments and a new soundtrack. The award-winning team of artists, designers and composers from Origins has also returned with an advanced UbiArt engine to include multi-dimension gameplay elements, an improved lighting system and updated game rendering that elevate Rayman’s graphics to the next level."
