Ubisoft is bringing Rayman back this December with Rayman Legends Retold, and the publisher has confirmed a retail "launch edition" that bundles several physical extras alongside the digital game.
Priced at $39.99 (or the regional equivalent), the boxed launch edition includes a printed "Glade of Dreams" map, three collectible lithographs, an exclusive slip case, plus a copy of Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition and two in-game costumes.
Key detail for collectors and Switch owners: the Switch 2 release is a Game-Key Card edition.
In plain terms, buyers should not expect a traditional Nintendo Switch-style game cartridge; the retail package provides a code-bearing Game-Key Card that redeems a digital download from the eShop rather than containing the full game data on a physical cartridge.
This means a download is required to play even if you purchase the boxed launch edition.
Ubisoft also released a new game overview trailer earlier this week that highlights the title's visuals and gameplay direction.
The trailer serves as the studio's latest presentation of Rayman Legends Retold ahead of its December launch and complements the retail announcement by showcasing what players can expect after downloading the game.
What you get in the launch edition
- Printed "Glade of Dreams" map
- Three lithographs
- Exclusive slip case
- Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition
- Two additional costumes
- Game-Key Card for Rayman Legends Retold (requires eShop download)
The inclusion of Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition with the launch edition adds tangible value for newcomers or returning players who want both titles.
Ubisoft's packaging choice follows a growing industry trend where physical releases sometimes include digital codes rather than full game cartridges or discs, particularly on next-generation hardware such as Nintendo Switch 2.
For readers tracking platform availability: Ubisoft has explicitly listed the launch edition as available for Switch 2.
Retailers offering the boxed edition will distribute the physical extras while the Game-Key Card provides the means to download Rayman Legends Retold from Nintendo's digital storefront.
With a December release window and a formal overview trailer now public, Ubisoft is positioning Rayman Legends Retold as a notable entry in the Rayman catalog this holiday season.
Buyers who prioritize physical media should note the Game-Key Card format before purchasing the launch edition.
