UBISOFT ANNOUNCES ALL-NEW RAYMAN VIDEO GAME FOR HOLIDAY 2006
SAN FRANCISCO - April 5, 2006 - Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced that it is developing the fourth instalment of the Rayman franchise. Ubisoft's iconic brand has entertained generations of gamers for 10 years and to date has sold more than 16 million units worldwide. The new Rayman video game is being developed by Ubisoft's Montpellier studio, lead by Michel Ancel, creator of the original Rayman game, the critically-acclaimed Beyond Good & Evil and Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie. The new Rayman video game will launch during Holiday 2006 on current and next-generation consoles.
"Rayman is one of the brands that encapsulate Ubisoft's ability to create characters and universes that appeal to all kinds of players," said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. "We are expecting this new Rayman video game to sweep players off their feet."

It's like how Dead or Alive was nothing on the Dreamcast or PS2 but became huge on the Xbox where it has virtually no competing fighters. Or like how Crash Bandicoot was huge on the Playstation but has been a total bunch of nothing since he went multiplatform.
Ubisoft would probably benefit from making Rayman Xbox 360 exclusive. Nintendo and Sony have too big of platformer series to compete with.

Where is the Beyond Good & Evil sequel/trilogy?
I mean, I've heard news of the sequel and planned trilogy debunked a few times, maybe I just hold on to the little hope there is that it may resurface and actually materialize.
