Ubisoft Confirms Plans for New Rayman Game

Ubisoft has announced that their Montpellier and Milan studios are developing a new installment within the Rayman series, though details about this project remain under wraps, suggesting it’s still in early stages of development. The last substantial addition to the franchise was Rayman Legends, launched back in 2013 – close to a decade ago. With such a significant gap between releases for such a well-known series, fans are eagerly awaiting fresh content. Rayman Legends stood out due to its innovative platforming mechanics and distinctive artistic approach that garnered positive feedback. Other than a brief cameo of Rayman in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope as downloadable content, the franchise has been relatively quiet.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but wonder what Ubisoft has up their sleeve this time with Rayman! It’s still under wraps whether they’re revamping an old Rayman game or blazing a fresh trail. The possibilities are exciting-could it be a modernized version of the 2013 classic, or perhaps a new adventure that takes our limbless hero to uncharted heights? Only time will tell!

The latest information from Insider Gaming indicates that a new version of Rayman, referred to as “Steambot,” might launch towards the end of 2026. Additionally, Ubisoft is considering creating Rayman 4, which could be a 3D platformer set after the events of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc from 2003. However, the development of Rayman 4 depends on the success of the upcoming remake. This means if Rayman 4 does eventually get released, it won’t happen for several more years due to this dependency.

Ubisoft has been contemplating a return to Rayman after reevaluating some of their older game franchises. Since platform games are still popular in the gaming market, it seems they’re planning to reintroduce Rayman for potential revival. But with no definite details about the project’s size or format, its fate remains unclear.

As a fellow gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about the news – Rayman is turning thirty! That’s right, everyone’s favorite limbless hero has reached this milestone and we’re inviting you to join us in celebrating his incredible legacy.

Tune in to our official channels to be a part of the festivities. Ubisoft Montpellier just shared a special message during the Rayman Alive fan event, and I can’t wait for you all to hear it! Let’s celebrate 30 years of Rayman together!

It’s currently unclear when or on which platforms the new Rayman title will be released, as Ubisoft has not yet revealed any specific details about a release schedule or platforms in their latest video. However, they have confirmed that the character Rayman is currently being developed at two of their European studios, but the exact form he and his game will take remains a mystery for now.

Presently, the future of this franchise offers numerous possibilities. It could branch off in various ways, but the specifics about how our hero makes a return are still uncertain. However, one aspect is undeniably clear: Ubisoft is working diligently to ensure Rayman emerges from obscurity once more, headlining his own game again. With this news, fans can’t help but feel a surge of anticipation!
