Ubisoft is hosting a Rayman 2 speedrun right before E3
Here’s a bit of a strange one. During E3 week, Ubisoft is giving outRayman Origins, a gorgeous game that any and all platformer fans should check out. You won’t have to attend the gaming expo in-person to earn the free PC title, but youwillneed to watch half an hour of a live stream–specifically,aRayman 2world-record speedrun attempt in honor of the game’s 20th anniversary later this year.
When is it? Monday, June 10 at 10:30am Pacific. What do you have to do?Link your Twitch and Uplay accountsand catch 30 minutes or more of the live stream to getRayman Originson PC as a Twitch Drop.Glackumis the speedrunner in question,but you can tune in on Ubisoft’s Twitch channel. TheRayman 2record recently shifted to a player named Darnok_PL. The time to beat is now 1:15:22.
Basically, this stunt is a lead-in to Ubisoft’s own E3 conference at 1:00pm Pacific on June 10. You probably have bigger and better things going on, so maybe just run the stream in a minimized window.
Not gonna lie, I dearly miss UbiArt and wish more games used that engine.
