AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Ubisoft revealed Rayman Legends Retold during the latest State of Play, featuring updated 3D visuals, 4-player co-op, and the return of Kung Foot.
PlayStation's latest State of Play brought a massive surprise for platformer fans with the official reveal of Rayman Legends Retold. Ubisoft is breathing new life into the beloved franchise, trading the classic 2D art style for fresh 3D visuals while keeping the chaotic energy that made the original games so memorable. IGN South Africa reported on the reveal trailer, confirming that the new entry aims to capture the spirit of its predecessor while modernizing the experience for current hardware.
For the community, the biggest win is that the core identity remains intact. The new game brings back the beloved 4-player cooperative gameplay, meaning you and your squad can dive straight back into the frantic platforming action together. On top of the main campaign, the fan-favorite competitive minigame Kung Foot is also making a return, ensuring plenty of couch multiplayer rivalries and stream-friendly moments for creators looking for fun party content.
While platformers have occupied a more niche space in recent years outside of indie hits and Mario titles, Ubisoft leaning back into its classic catalog is a welcome sight. Rayman Legends Retold looks like a smart blend of nostalgia and modern design, giving both veteran players and a younger generation a reason to care about the limbless hero once again. As we get closer to launch, players will be watching closely to see how the transition to 3D affects the tight, momentum-driven movement that defined the series.
