Rayman Origins Free for Uplay Members on August 17th

Continuing its free games promotion, Ubisoft has revealed that Uplay members can add another free game to their libraries with Rayman Origins. The critically acclaimed platformer debuted the UbiArt Framework engine which has been used in a number of Ubisoft games like Valiant Hearts, Rayman Legends and Child of Light to great effect. It was also a return to the limbless wonder’s roots with the addition of some awesome co-op.

Last month’s free game was the first Splinter Cell to celebrate 30 years of Ubisoft’s existence. If you’re keen on picking up Splinter Cell right now and then Rayman Origins later this month, you’ll need Uplay. Alternatively, you can head to this page (which still shows Splinter Cell as this month’s game).

What are your thoughts on Rayman Origins as this month’s free game for Uplay? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for updates when it finally goes live.
