Ubisoft Prepares Multiple Rayman Projects for 30th Anniversary Comeback

As Rayman approaches its landmark 30th anniversary, Ubisoft is reaffirming its dedication to the iconic platforming franchise with a range of ambitious projects.

The celebrated publisher announced during Paris Games Week that multiple new Rayman titles are currently in development, signaling an eagerly-awaited comeback for fans worldwide. The Rayman franchise, first launched in 1995 by Ubisoft Montpellier, has held a special place in the platforming genre and on Nintendo hardware for decades.

The character's imaginative worlds and innovative gameplay have made Rayman a staple on consoles such as the Nintendo Switch, continuing a legacy of vibrant, fan-favorite releases. In an exclusive interview at Paris Games Week, a Ubisoft representative elaborated on the company’s plans for the series.

According to the spokesperson, Ubisoft not only has a new AAA Rayman game in production but is also working on additional projects to celebrate the character’s storied history and to engage both longstanding fans and newcomers.

The company emphasized its commitment to delivering "multiple Rayman experiences," leveraging the creative strengths of Ubisoft’s development teams and taking full advantage of evolving gaming technology. Rayman’s 30th anniversary festivities underscore Ubisoft’s intention to revitalize the franchise across diverse platforms, including potential releases on the Nintendo Switch and visibility in upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations.

Although specific release dates have not yet been announced, this renewed focus comes as welcome news to the loyal Rayman fan base, many of whom have anticipated a high-quality new installment since the critical success of Rayman Legends. Ubisoft’s ongoing investment in the Rayman series is buoyed by the brand’s legacy and past achievements.

The franchise has previously achieved significant sales milestones, with Rayman Legends and Rayman Origins both earning critical acclaim for their inventive design and multiplayer features.

As Ubisoft Montpellier and other internal teams develop these new initiatives, the company aims to recapture that magic for a new generation of players. With multiple Rayman projects on the horizon, Ubisoft is poised to deliver an anniversary celebration worthy of one of gaming’s most enduring and creative mascots.
