During the recent PlayStation State of Play broadcast, Ubisoft officially announced the "Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition," celebrating three decades since the beloved platformer first debuted.
This collection is not a remake, but rather a comprehensive digital compilation that brings together five classic ports of the original 1995 Rayman game.
Fans and newcomers alike will be able to experience the evolution of Rayman across a variety of platforms when the title launches digitally on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on June 19, 2024. Rayman remains one of Ubisoft's most iconic franchises, known for its vibrant art style, inventive platforming mechanics, and memorable soundtrack.
With the "Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition," Ubisoft aims to preserve the legacy of the original title while making it accessible to a new generation of players.
The package features versions from PlayStation 1, MS-DOS, Atari Jaguar, Game Boy Advance, and Game Boy Color, as well as an unprecedented addition: an unreleased Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) prototype.
Although the SNES version is not a fully completed game, its inclusion offers a rare glimpse into the development history and creative process behind the classic platformer. In a statement shared during the announcement, Ubisoft highlighted several new features designed to enhance the gameplay experience.
Players can look forward to a newly arranged soundtrack by renowned composer Christophe Héral, along with modern conveniences such as rewind and save state functionalities.
The collection also boasts an expansive “interactive documentary” section, which includes approximately an hour of interviews with key developers, echoing the in-depth “museum” bonus content seen in acclaimed compilations like "The Making of Karateka." Another notable update is the addition of 120 new levels, curated from the various historical versions and previously unreleased content, allowing for even more platforming challenges to discover.
Ubisoft's comprehensive approach ensures that players will be able to revisit both familiar and lesser-known iterations of Rayman, all in one definitive package. The digital release of "Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition" is priced at $19.99 and will be available on major digital storefronts starting tomorrow.
For collectors, a physical edition is also planned and is set for release on June 26, 2026, though further pricing details have not yet been announced. Today’s announcement arrives alongside continued excitement for Rayman’s presence on Nintendo platforms.
Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Rayman 2, along with Tonic Trouble, would be joining the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack lineup.
Meanwhile, reports have surfaced regarding scrapped remake projects and new collaborations within Ubisoft’s development teams. With "Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition" soon to arrive on Nintendo Switch and other modern systems, Ubisoft demonstrates its ongoing commitment to honoring the legacy of one of gaming’s most enduring platform icons.
