Rayman Legends hits North America on August 27, an Ubisoft spokesperson tells us, and August 30 in Europe. The Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U game pips its previous "early September release window." by just a smidge after its delay earlier this year.

The news is joined by today's arrival of the game's precursory Online Challenges app on the Wii U eShop. The free demo includes Land of the Livid Dead, Neverending Pit, and Infinite Tower levels, as well as the GamePad-tailored Murfy's Dungeon run.

The app also features daily and weekly "Extreme Challenges," unlocked by winning cups at the end of challenges and subsequently increasing your "Awesomeness Level." Ubisoft didn't say what happens if your Awesomeness Level is already Super Awesome.
