Rayman Origins came out a couple of months ago on the three home consoles, but the handheld 3DS version has been without a release date, until now.

It's not yet confirmed if that's a worldwide release date, but as the consoles versions were all released worldwide within a few days, you surely wont have to wait long wherever you live.
