After weeks of leaks, rumors, and accidental reveals, Rayman Legends: Retold is finally official.
Ubisoft used PlayStation’s June 2026 State of Play showcase to unveil the long-rumored remake, giving fans their first proper look at the return of one of the most beloved platformers of the last decade.
And honestly?
It looks like Rayman is finally getting the comeback fans have been asking for.
One of Gaming’s Worst-Kept Secrets
The announcement probably won’t surprise anyone who has been following recent leaks.
Over the past few weeks, reports revealed the game’s title, release date, pricing, physical editions, multiplayer features, and even the existence of bonus content before Ubisoft had officially said a word.
All that was missing was the actual reveal.
Now it’s finally here.
A Complete Reimagining of Rayman Legends
Rayman Legends: Retold is a modern remake of the critically acclaimed 2013 platformer that many still consider one of the greatest games Ubisoft has ever published.
While the original remains highly playable even today, Retold aims to modernize the experience with upgraded visuals, new content, and additional gameplay features.
The reveal trailer showcases the colorful worlds, fast-paced platforming, and chaotic co-op gameplay that made the original such a fan favorite.
But there are also some surprises.
Brand-New 3D Sections Added
One of the biggest revelations from the trailer is the inclusion of entirely new 3D gameplay segments.
The original Rayman Legends was built almost entirely around side-scrolling platforming, making these new sections one of the most significant additions to the remake.
Ubisoft hasn’t revealed exactly how extensive these sequences will be, but they appear to offer a fresh twist on the classic formula rather than replacing what made Legends so successful.
More Than Just a Visual Upgrade
Previous reports suggested that Retold is doing more than simply updating the graphics.
The remake is expected to include new content, improved online functionality, and additional bonuses for longtime fans.
Perhaps most surprisingly, leaks have also suggested that players will receive another Rayman game as part of the package, though Ubisoft has yet to fully detail how that will work.
Rayman’s Return Is Finally Happening
For years, fans have been asking Ubisoft to do something with the Rayman franchise.
While many hoped for an entirely new game, Rayman Legends: Retold at least proves that the publisher hasn’t forgotten about one of its most iconic characters.
And honestly?
After more than a decade without a major Rayman release, seeing the franchise return in any form is likely enough to make a lot of platforming fans happy.
Whether this remake is simply a celebration of Rayman’s past or the beginning of a larger comeback remains to be seen.
But for now, one thing is certain.
Rayman is back.
