Rayman, the beloved platformer franchise from Ubisoft, is officially turning 30 years old in 2024.
To commemorate this milestone, Ubisoft appears poised to revisit its classic series, as a new title, 'Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition,' has been rated by the Australian classification board.
This significant development signals Ubisoft's readiness to celebrate Rayman's enduring legacy, and the move has already sparked anticipation throughout the gaming community. Originally created by Michel Ancel, Rayman first debuted in 1995, quickly establishing itself as one of the standout platformers of its era.
Over the decades, the series has evolved across multiple hardware generations, with notable releases such as 'Rayman 2: The Great Escape,' and the critically acclaimed 'Rayman Legends.' Ubisoft has consistently showcased its innovative gameplay mechanics, vibrant art direction, and memorable characters, helping Rayman achieve lasting status among gaming icons. The recent classification listing specifies that 'Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition' has been rated for both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5.
This points to a cross-generational celebration that will bring the remastered or commemorative edition to modern platforms, widening its accessibility to both nostalgic fans and new players alike.
Notably, these ratings, filed with the official Australian classification board, confirm the existence of the project, though Ubisoft has yet to provide an official announcement or release trailer. While Ubisoft has not issued a formal press release to detail the contents of the 'Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition,' industry observers speculate that the collection will feature significant enhancements and potentially include multiple Rayman games or exclusive bonus content.
When contacted for comment, an Ubisoft spokesperson indicated the company is "looking forward to celebrating Rayman's rich history with fans worldwide," underscoring the publisher's commitment to honoring the franchise that helped define its footprint in the platformer genre. The Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 have continued to be robust platforms for reviving classic franchises, and the news that Rayman will soon join their growing catalogs of retro-inspired titles is a welcome development.
As the Rayman series celebrates its 30th anniversary, fans can look forward to revisiting a formative chapter in video game history.
With the official announcement expected soon, anticipation is high for what Ubisoft has in store for Rayman and the community that has supported the limbless hero for three decades.
