Ubisoft revealed Rayman Legends Retold during a PlayStation State of Play broadcast, scheduling the game's release for Oct. 1, 2026 [1].
The announcement marks a significant return for the Rayman franchise, updating a beloved title with modern technology to attract a new generation of players. By transitioning the 2013 original into a 3D visual experience, Ubisoft aims to modernize the gameplay while preserving the core platforming mechanics.
The remake introduces several new features to the experience. The game will include a new world, the return of Kung Foot, and fully voiced cinematics [2]. Additionally, Ubisoft has expanded the soundtrack and added new musical stages to the title [2].
Multiplayer capabilities remain a central focus of the release. The game supports four-player co-op, allowing between one and four players to collaborate online [3]. This cooperative focus is designed to expand the game's appeal through shared social play.
Rayman Legends Retold will launch across multiple platforms, including the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC [4]. The title is priced at $39.99 [1]. Along with the main remake, the package includes Rayman Origins Enhanced [5].
Ubisoft said the project is intended to revive the platformer with modern graphics and cinematic enhancements to broaden its reach [2].
“Rayman Legends Retold launches this October for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.”
The release of Rayman Legends Retold suggests a strategic shift for Ubisoft toward revitalizing legacy intellectual property through high-fidelity remakes. By targeting the Nintendo Switch 2 alongside current-generation consoles, Ubisoft is positioning the title to capture both the handheld and home console markets during the 2026 holiday window.
