Ubisoft has announced Rayman Legends Retold, a remake of the fantastic 2013 platformer Rayman Legends with a whizzbang suite of new graphics, new levels and new story. Rayman Legends Retold will launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC on 1st October 2026.
Remakes seem to come sooner every year, and Ubisoft have decided that 13 years is the sweet spot, what with the previously revealed Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. Rayman Legends Reborn is rather different, through, taking a 2D platforming stalwart and rebuilding it within the 3D Snowdrop engine (of The Division fame).
We can look back tot he original and Peter’s review of Rayman Legends, where he said, “Rayman Legends doesn’t need a thousand words of explanation and assessment. It’s not a weighty, narrative driven game that will make you postulate meanings or attribute deep allegorical intentions. This is a game about not thinking, it’s a game about letting go and just enjoying the colours and sounds and swirling, bouncing happiness that’s taking up your screen. You’ll have to practice elements, you’ll need to learn locations of hidden areas and timings of jump sequences to progress. But you’ll certainly never be bored.”
