Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition Rated for Nintendo Switch by Australian Classification Board

Rayman fans have a new reason to celebrate as Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition has received an official content rating for Nintendo Switch from the Australian Classification Board.

This unexpected listing suggests that the beloved platformer is poised for a return to Nintendo's hybrid console, although there has yet to be an official confirmation from the parties involved. According to the entry found on the Australian Classification database, the upcoming Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition will be developed and published by Atari.

This is a notable development for the classic franchise, originally created by Ubisoft and first released in 1995.

The original Rayman received critical acclaim for its vibrant 2D graphics, inventive platforming mechanics, and whimsical world design, and was eventually ported to several Nintendo systems, including the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS.

However, no new re-releases or remasters have launched for modern Nintendo hardware in recent years. The classification listing mentioned does not provide extensive details about the Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition's content or potential features.

Nonetheless, with Atari both developing and publishing, industry followers are keenly interested in what enhancements or additions may be included for the Nintendo Switch version.

Historically, anniversary editions of classic games have featured upgraded visuals, additional content, and quality-of-life improvements that appeal to both longtime fans and newer players. Alongside Rayman's rating, the Australian Classification Board and ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) recently listed The Disney Afternoon Collection for Nintendo Switch.

This anthology, previously available on other platforms, compiles several iconic Capcom-produced Disney games from the late '80s and early '90s.

However, as with the Rayman news, there has been no formal announcement regarding a Switch release for The Disney Afternoon Collection. When contacted for comment about the new classification and possible features, neither Atari nor Ubisoft provided an official statement at press time.

In the absence of formal confirmation, these database updates serve as reliable early indicators of upcoming releases, offering enthusiasts a preview of what's next for the Nintendo Switch library. To date, Rayman continues to hold a significant legacy in the gaming industry, with over 30 million copies sold across all entries in the franchise.

The potential return of the original Rayman in an enhanced edition aligns with ongoing trends of celebrating gaming anniversaries and preserving classic titles for modern audiences. Stay tuned for more updates from official sources regarding the release date, features, and pricing for Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition on Nintendo Switch.
