Rayman Legends Retold Brings Ubisoft's Platforming Classic Into 3D
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Ubisoft officially announced Rayman Legends Retold, a 3D remake of the classic platformer featuring new gameplay segments, voiced cutscenes, and returning multiplayer modes, launching on October 1.
Ubisoft has officially pulled back the curtain on Rayman Legends Retold, confirming earlier leaks during the recent PlayStation State of Play broadcast. Originally reported by IGN South Africa, the upcoming remake takes the beloved sidescrolling platformer and completely rebuilds it with 3D visuals while retaining its classic 2D action. Alongside the visual overhaul, the project introduces entirely new 3D gameplay segments, fully voiced cutscenes, and a reimagined story to give returning fans something fresh to explore.
For anyone who spent countless hours on the original release, the package hits all the right nostalgic notes while modernizing the experience for current hardware. The chaotic multiplayer favorite Kung Foot makes a welcome return alongside fresh power-ups, and the iconic rhythm based musical stages are back with new tracks. Rayman Legends Retold launches on October 1 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2 at a $39.99 price point.
At a time when major publishers often lean heavily on straightforward remasters, this approach of blending classic movement mechanics with overhauled dimensions feels like a thoughtful way to treat a legacy franchise. It gives both longtime veterans and newer players jumping in from mobile or cloud streaming ecosystems a compelling reason to revisit the Glade of Dreams.
