14 DAY TRIAL // Ubisoft has just confirmed that the Rayman Legends Online Challenges application for the Nintendo Wii U is now available for download on the new home console.
The company has also revealed a set of release dates for the game across all platforms.
Rayman Legends was initially set to appear only on the Wii U but, after Ubisoft revealed that the game is also going to appear for the PS3 and Xbox 360, the company decided to ease the worries of Nintendo fans by confirming that a special challenge mode would be released for their home console.
Now, Ubisoft has confirmed that the Rayman Legends Online Challenges application is available for download via the Wii U eShop all around the world.
The new experience tasks players with competing on four different maps that require fast reflexes and split-second reactions, so check out the full details below, via Joystiq.
The Online Challenges Mode includes: - A crazy run through the Land of the Livid Dead, - Dizzying descent into the Neverending Pit, - A fast and frantic sprint through the Infinite Tower, - A synchronized adventure through Murfy's Dungeon, a challenge dedicated to the Wii U GamePad where one player controls as Murfy on the touch screen while another controls one of the classic characters such as Rayman.
The Rayman Legends Online Challenges App focuses on something called the Awesomeness Level, which is based on the cups won by players at the end of the levels.
"The bigger the cup you win, the more points you will earn. Similar to experience level, players will increase their Awesomeness Level to unlock the Daily and Weekly Extreme Challenges dedicated to the most competitive Rayman Legends players. Additionally, players can collect lums during the challenges to unlock several exclusive characters throughout the game."
What's more, a special video has also been posted by Ubisoft, showing some gameplay from the new experience.
Last but not least, Ubisoft also confirmed that the full Rayman Legends experience would be released for the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U on August 27 in North America, and August 30 in Europe.
