bisoft has confirmed to Eurogamer a new Rayman project is currently in the "exploration phase" at its Montpelier and Milan studios, following recent online reports that work has begun on an unannounced Rayman remake.

Word that a Rayman remake is in development first surfaced via Insider Gaming, which claimed the game - reportedly codenamed Project Steambot - was "being pieced together" by a team that included around a dozen members of Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown team.

We won't see this game until 2026 at the earliest.

 

[Shin-Ra]

On the one hand — f yeah!
On the other — BG&E2 and PoP Sands of Time Remake…

 

[Agent X]

I don't know what constitutes a "remake" here, but the mere fact that they're working on a Rayman game is good news.

 

[BennyBlanco]

My mobile phone is ready

 

[RCX]

Fuck you. Just fuck you.

Can't be trusted with it. Same as splinter cell.

 

[Sooner]

Fuck you. Just fuck you.

Can't be trusted with it. Same as splinter cell.

Make a new Rayman.

We're making a new Rayman.

Fuck you. It will suck.

 

[dotnotbot]

It's gonna be Raywoman

 

[Quixz]

Ubisoft's hate boner for Splitter Cell is only equaled by Sony and Bloodborne LOL

 

[diffusionx]

Ubisoft isn't going to be around long enough to make Rayxir.

 

[N0S]

Cant see shit!

 

[FeralEcho]

So is my interest in new Ubisoft titles.

Rayman Legends is the best 2D platformer I've ever played, and I'll stand on Shigeru Miyamoto's coffee table and say that.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Well. What is it, though? Is it a remake, a remaster, a compilation, or a new game?

You could throw together a remaster of any Rayman game pretty quickly.

It’s insane to me that the original Rayman + it’s Gold expansion is not playable on any modern platforms. One of the best 2D platformers, ever.

1 was amazing. 2 was good. 3 was bad, the series was dead after that

 

[HRK69]

Rayman definitely has potential

 

[BlackTron]

I'm ready for a new 3D Rayman, there are enough 2D ones. It's basically where DK is. But unlike DK the outcome would be dubious, Rayman 2 happened so long ago Dreamcast was alive. And isn't Ancel gone?

Origins and Legends are some of the best 2d platformers ever made.

 

[March Climber]

So they allegedly let go of one of the Rayman teams just to announce a new Rayman game moments after?

 

[nial]

That one YouTube user who speculated on Ubisoft making a new Rayman game due to the character being in Astro Bot DLC was right on the money, it seems.

 

[Robb]

I have zero faith in Ubisoft these days, but fingers crossed they can deliver another good Rayman. Origins and Legends are both phenomenal.

 

[Generic]

A Rayman 1 remake in the veins of Origins/Legends, probably.

 

[digdug2]

Let's hope they don't make it open world with a bunch of extraneous shit to do.

 

[Deerock71]

With all his colors and androgynous nature, he's a perfect DEI candidate.

 

[Matt_Fox]

Origins and Legends are some of the best 2d platformers ever made.

 

[Monkfish877]

Origins and Legends are some of my favourite platformers of all time, I hope one day we'll get a sequel to them.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Origins and Legends are some of the best 2d platformers ever made.

Yeah. I always forget about those. The series was dead to me after 3 was so bad, and then Raving Rabbids took over the series and then it was just like gone after that.

 

[Gojiira]

Ancel and THIIIIIC Cutie faeries or fuck off

 

[xrnzaaas]

It's gonna be Raywoman

We laugh about it now, but in the last R&C game they injected a female character Rivet just for the sake of it.

 

[Astral Dog]

We won't see this game until 2026 at the earliest.

Or never

 

[Windle Poons]

As if they're going to call it RayMAN.

 

[nial]

Weird to put it like that, it's not like Ratchet was left as an afterthought or Rivet purposely presented as a much better character compared to him.
R&C's writing was never great (not that it ever mattered), but her inclusion ultimately made Rift Apart more memorable compared to most of the series and fans ended up loving her, so it wasn't any lame attempt in the end.

 

[DAHGAMING]

It's gonna be Raywoman

What I thought, or RayThem/They.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Would be great if they didn't fuck it up. But they probably will.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Great news, don't fuck it up. Keep that Legends flow, music and art going. Gameplay above all else. Fucking better have 1-4 player local coop again, fire.

 

[Jesb]

Who fucken cares. They’re a shell of their former self.
