Rayman Legends introduces viking beauty Barbara to the fray

Rayman Legends latest character is viking beauty Barbara — and this girl has an axe to grind.

Ubisoft released a new vignette this morning for Rayman Legends, highlighting new character Barbara, a redheaded viking with an axe to grind.

Barbara will make her gameplay debut at Gamescom in Germany next week. Barbara's winged helmet allows her to hover over short distances and a swing of her axe takes out the baddies in one hit. The lady, new to the Rayman universe, joins the game's already colorful cast and will be playable in the game's co-op mode.

Rayman Legends will release alongside the Wii U later this year.
