Along with Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies returning as playable characters, players can now control the new female character Barbara the Barbarian Princess, her sister and their cousins, once they are rescued from certain stages. Collecting Teensies unlocks new worlds, which can be played in any order once they are available. Lums can be collected by touching them, defeating enemies, or freeing captured Teensies. The game carries on the style of gameplay from Rayman Origins in which up to four players (depending on the format) simultaneously make their way through various levels. The game experienced sluggish sales at the beginning of its release, but sold well and contributed to the company's earnings just a year after. Some critics went as far as calling Rayman Legends one of the best platforming video games ever made, and the game won several awards from video gaming publications. Critics praised the game's visuals, level design, controls, soundtrack, overall gameplay, and the large amount of content. Rayman Legends received critical acclaim upon release. However, the game was delayed to February 2013 in order to finish the game on time, and due to the financial failure of ZombiU, the release was delayed again by six months and the game was made multi-platform. Rayman Legends was announced at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2012 for Wii U and was planned for release during the console's launch window. A Nintendo Switch port, titled Rayman Legends Definitive Edition, was released in North America, Europe and Australia on September 12, 2017.

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were released in February 2014, with a Stadia version released in November 2021. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PlayStation Vita platforms in August and September 2013.
It is the fifth main title in the Rayman series and the direct sequel to the 2011 game Rayman Origins. Rayman Legends is a platform video game developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by Ubisoft.
