Rayman Legends is an outstanding platformer that "understands what makes this genre special," according to our review. If you're interested in this genre, chances are you've already played it. But if you haven't, good news: Ubisoft is giving this game away until April 4.

The promotion is available on Uplay and can be accessed here. If you do not already have a Uplay account, you will need to sign up. This appears to be the first in a series of free gifts from Ubisoft throughout April: some take the form of trials, but also include series such as "Assassin's Creed" and "Just Dance".

Ubisoft says the giveaways are a way to encourage social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic." We have prepared a series of month-long promotions, trials, and discounts to assist everyone who is following the guidance of health authorities and staying at home. Whether you want to stay active, socialize with friends in remote locations, or simply enjoy some entertainment, we want to help."

Rayman Legends was one of the games offered for free on the Epic Games Store last year. Incidentally, this week's free games on the Epic Games Store include Figment, Torment X Punisher, and World War Z, all of which are about to expire.
