Ubisoft to bring Rayman to the Gizmondo

Gizmondo announced yesterday that giant publisher Ubisoft will bring the enormously successful Rayman to their recently launched console.

Based on the most recent titles developed by Ubisoft, the future Rayman game will be converted externally for the uniquely featured Gizmondo handheld and will take full advantage of the device’s NVIDIA 3D graphics accelerator. Additional titles from Ubisoft to be converted for the Gizmondo handheld will be announced at a future date.

John Parkes, EMEA marketing director at Ubisoft, says: "Gizmondo has a feature-rich product with ambitious plans that will invigorate the handheld gaming sector. We're delighted that our Rayman franchise will be making its debut on this new format, and look forward to exploring further partnerships in the near future."

Carl Freer, Co-founder and Chairman, Tiger Telematics, says: "All of the titles we’ve signed have enormous appeal to our core demographic and will look great on the Gizmondo. We're delighted to be announcing Rayman today, and look forward to releasing details of the other titles we have under wraps."
