Summary
October 1, 2026 is the release date for Rayman Legends Retold, Ubisoft’s 3D/2.5D remake of the 2013 platformer with added content including a new realm, new ending and expanded music stages.
Ubisoft said the remake is meant to reset the franchise for the future, using Legends as a gameplay foundation while reworking its story and world into a more connected adventure.
The project began in late 2023 in Montpellier, with Ubisoft Milan joining in early 2024; the remake combines Snowdrop for new visuals with the original UbiArt Framework to preserve the feel of the original.
Kung Foot returns as 'Kung Foot Evo' with power-ups and changing arenas, while new dragon rides and reworked hubs aim to link worlds that were previously separated by menus and portals.
Nintendo Switch 2 is targeting 60 FPS with content parity across platforms, and Ubisoft said Rayman creator Michel Ancel was consulted early but is not part of the current creative process.
