Rayman Origins PC Release Date, System Requirements Announced

The PC will receive side-scroller Rayman Origins in a couple months. Today Ubisoft announced a March 29th release date for the PC version of the game, which first launched on the PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 back in November.

In Origins, Rayman must save the Glade of Dreams from an invasion of Darktoons. He'll be helped in his quest by best friend Globox and two wizards known as the Teensies. Additional players can jump into the game at any time and control these friends.

Origins has over 60 levels. Players are encouraged to revisit levels in order to find new secrets. As you might guess from the cutesy artwork, the game's suitable for all ages.
