The source of the initial worry—and the excitement—is Rayman Legends Retold, a full reimagining of the 2013 classic. Ubisoft officially unveiled the project on June 2, 2026, during Sony’s PlayStation State of Play livestream . The game is being developed through a collaboration between Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan .
Scheduled for an October 1, 2026 launch, Rayman Legends Retold is far more than a simple remaster. The core side-scrolling platforming remains, but the entire presentation has been rebuilt with 3D visuals . This new look also allows for all-new 3D gameplay segments that break from the traditional 2D plane .
Ubisoft is expanding the Legends experience in several significant ways:
This bonus pack-in means players effectively get two generations of Rayman’s best modern platforming in a single package.
Rayman Legends Retold will be available across a wide range of modern platforms on October 1, 2026. The confirmed systems include PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC (via the Ubisoft Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store) . For those who prefer cloud gaming, the game will also be accessible through GeForce Now and Blacknut .
It’s a comprehensive rollout that echoes the original game’s journey across multiple console generations, while also bringing the classic Origins experience to modern screens. And for preservationists and fans of the original artistry, Ubisoft’s promise ensures the 2D hand-drawn Rayman Legends isn’t going anywhere.
