3 articles · Updated · Nintendo Everything · Jun 13

Summary

  • Ubisoft said the original Rayman Legends will remain on digital storefronts even after Rayman Legends Retold launches later in 2026, easing fan concerns about a possible removal.
  • Those worries stemmed from a common industry pattern in which publishers delist older versions when a remake or remaster arrives.
  • Retold is set for Nintendo Switch 2 on October 1, 2026 as a full remake with updated visuals, new content, a sixth realm and 4 new musical stages.
  • The original game is still available now, including Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition on the Nintendo eShop, with a physical version also on sale.
