Ubisoft has announced Rayman Legends Retold, a remake of the 2013 2D platformer Rayman Legends. Multiple outlets describe the original as a celebrated, visually distinctive game with hand-drawn 2D art, imaginative gameplay, and a long-lasting reputation. The remake changes the presentation by moving from the original’s 2D look to 3D animation, a shift that is noted as a point of concern for some commentary, while still being framed by others as potentially an improvement in how the game looks and presents its action.
Eurogamer reports that Rayman Legends Retold will release on 1 October and will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC. Eurogamer also states that the remake will be bundled with a remaster of Rayman Origins, referencing a “leaked” Rayman Origins remaster. Across the coverage provided, the announcements focus on the platform list, the release date, and the core change from 2D to 3D, alongside the fact that the original game is widely regarded as one of the franchise’s best entries.
