Ubisoft announced Rayman Legends Retold, a 3D reimagining of the 2013 platformer, which will launch on Oct. 1, 2026 [1].
The release marks a return for the Rayman franchise, updating a critically acclaimed title for modern hardware and introducing a full-3D visual style to the Glade of Dreams. This move allows Ubisoft to leverage current-generation processing power to modernize the experience for a new audience.
The announcement occurred during Sony's State of Play presentation. The title is being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan [2]. It will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and the Nintendo Switch 2 [2].
Preorders for the title are open [3]. The game is listed at a retail price of $39.99 [4]. This pricing positions the remake as a mid-tier offering compared to full-price AAA releases.
Rayman Legends Retold serves as a celebration of the original 2013 game [2]. While the original was known for its 2D artistic style, this version transforms the environment into a 3D space while maintaining the core platforming mechanics. The developers aim to bring the series back to the forefront of the platforming genre.
Ubisoft said the project is intended to bring the characters back to the Glade of Dreams in a way that reflects modern technical capabilities [2]. The game will be available across all four platforms simultaneously on the Oct. 1 date [1].
“Rayman Legends Retold is a full-3D reimagining of the 2013 platformer.”
The inclusion of the Nintendo Switch 2 in the platform list is a notable confirmation of the hardware's existence and target release window. By reimagining a 2D classic in 3D, Ubisoft is attempting to bridge the gap between nostalgia and modern gaming trends, potentially testing the waters for further Rayman entries.
