Following the announcement of “Rayman Legends Retold,” brand producer Loïc Gounon spoke in an interview about the future of the “Rayman” series. Games like “Astro Bot” could also play a crucial role for this.
With „Rayman Legends Retold“ Ubisoft announced this week a remake that has been revised graphically and in terms of content to the popular platformer from 2013.
This expands the hand-drawn 2D backgrounds of the original with fully-fledged 3D elements and also offers new content such as the “Cave of Trials”. In addition to “Rayman Legends Retold”, Ubisoft also confirmed an Enhanced Edition „Rayman Origins“ from 2011. But what does this all mean for the future of the “Rayman” series?
While the players, according to brand producer Loïc Gounon Don’t expect a remake of the first “Rayman” (1995).decision makers are already much more open to a possible 3D successor.
Ubisoft is thinking about a 3D comeback
In an interview with GamesRadar Gounon explained that titles like “Rayman Legends Retold” and other hits like „Astro Bot“ could ensure that the golden PS2 era of 3D platformers celebrates a comeback.
“We believe it may be time to return with more adventurous 3D Rayman games,” the brand producer continued.
“We’re starting with this project (Rayman Legends Retold). That’s kind of what we’re aiming for and what we want for Rayman. We also believe it’s a good addition, both for players and for the market.”
Even though nothing has been said about further 3D offshoots of the “Rayman” series, Gounon explained that the developers definitely want to continue the series. “That’s the plan! That will be the plan if everything goes well,” the producer replied when asked about further 3D “Raymans”.
“We’re putting together a new team and laying new foundations for the brand. That’s why our project – even if it’s more than just a remake – is partly just that. We have a solid foundation here that we are convinced is the right way to revitalize the brand.”
Sales figures decide the future
By saying that “a new 3D Rayman is the plan if everything goes well,” Gounon is probably referring to the fact that Ubisoft wants to wait for the sales figures for “Rayman Legends Retold” to decide whether and in what form the “Rayman” series will continue.
“Rayman Legends Retold” will be released on October 1, 2026 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Switch 2. Both Standard Edition costs 39.99 euros as well as the Digital Deluxe Edition for 49.99 euros In addition to the remake of “Rayman Legends”, they also contain the “Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition”.
This brings the classic back to PS5 and other platforms in 4K and 60FPS.
