Ubisoft originally planned a “Dracula Castle” world for Rayman Legends
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 8 Comments
Ubisoft was once planning on including a world in Rayman Legends known as “Chateau Dracula”, which roughly translates to “Dracula Castle”. Sadly, the idea was cut from the final game.
Dracula Castle was set in a large gothic castle. Players would be able to traverse a dining room, cellar area, and even the rooftops.
Unseen64 managed to obtain concept art of Dracula Castle. The stage was never prototyped, and it was apparently scrapped due to time and budget constraints.
