Rayman 2: The Great Escape is coming to Nintendo Switch Online

For the past generation or so, Nintendo has been slowly but surely filling out its Nintendo Switch Online libraries with titles from across the company’s many classic consoles. Alongside first-party titles, NSO also includes select 3rd-party classics. Joining the service as part of the latter camp is Ubisoft’s Rayman, with ‘The Great Escape’ and sister series ‘Tonic Trouble’ set to arrive next week.

Making the announcement via a brief ‘Game Update’ video, Nintendo confirmed that the N64 classics Rayman 2: The Great Escape alongside Tonic Trouble are both heading to its NSO service next week on the 17th of December.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape is of course the second mainline entry in the Rayman series. Unlike the first game’s sidescrolling aesthetic, Rayman 2 took the series into 3D, with the 1999 title seeing strong reviews upon its initial release.

Tonic Trouble meanwhile is a sister-series of sorts to Rayman, with the Ubisoft-developed title serving as an engine tech project created in anticipation of their work on Rayman 2.

Both Tonic Trouble and Rayman The Great Escape are set to join Nintendo Switch Online this time next week on the 17th of December for all those subscribed to NSO’s Expansion Pack tier.
