Ubisoft Reportedly Bringing Back Classic PS1 Series

According to industry insider Nash Weedle, who’s known for his accurate reports about Nintendo but also keeps tabs on the wider gaming scene, there are rumors that Ubisoft is planning a major comeback of one of their iconic series from the PlayStation 1 era. This beloved franchise may have taken a backseat in recent years, overshadowed by popular modern titles like Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, and licensed properties such as Avatar and Star Wars, but it appears Ubisoft is ready to breathe new life into it.

The new report, exclusively circulated through social media platform X, indicates that Nash Weedle utilized this platform to disclose Ubisoft’s expansive plans for Rayman. According to our source within the company, there are two upcoming Rayman games in the works at Ubisoft, and a potential collection of classic games from the series is also being contemplated by the French game developer.

Additionally, it’s been suggested that Ubisoft is planning to blend 3D gameplay with the aesthetic of Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends in their upcoming projects. This seems to be supported by early testing results. Moreover, it appears that Ubisoft could be unveiling these games privately at Gamescom later this month, potentially for partners like Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox, although the specifics are not yet clear.

This info might be useful, but remember, it’s not officially verified and may be subject to alterations. Since game development is always evolving, even accurate information today could change tomorrow.

As of now, Ubisoft has yet to respond to our request for comment. Given their history, they typically avoid engaging with news articles, rumors, leaks, or speculation, so an update may not be forthcoming. Should they provide any comments, whether significant or otherwise, we will promptly modify the story accordingly.

It’s not entirely unexpected that Ubisoft could bring back Rayman in a significant way, particularly if they plan to do so as a 3D platformer. Even though fans might favor the 2D version, there’s less demand for it. Given that it’s been 12 years since the release of Rayman Legends, it seems appropriate for Ubisoft to revive the series.
