Ubisoft have just released a new trailer and new screenshots for the upcoming release of Rayman Origins, the first proper 2D instalment in the franchise in a very, very long time.

Rayman Origins makes use of Ubisoft’s impressive new “UbiArt Framework” development tools, which allow for impressive deformation and animation of high quality artwork in real time without the long-winded process of requring artists draw and edit every single frame.

As you’ll see for yourself from the gorgeous trailer and beautiful screenshots, the results are definitely impressive.
