Rayman fans have a compelling reason to return to the roots of platforming excellence as Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition officially arrives on the Nintendo Switch.
Developed by Digital Eclipse in collaboration with Ubisoft Montpellier, the anniversary collection honors the legacy of the 1995 platformer that first introduced the world to Rayman’s whimsical universe.
The digital release is set for February 13 on the Nintendo eShop, with a physical edition scheduled to follow in June. This comprehensive edition showcases five distinct versions of the original Rayman, ensuring fans and newcomers alike can experience the platforming classic as it appeared across generations.
Included are faithfully emulated versions from PlayStation, Atari Jaguar, MS-DOS, Game Boy Advance, and Game Boy Color, giving players insight into the game’s storied history on multiple platforms.

To modernize the classic experience, the Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition introduces enhanced gameplay options, including a 60-second rewind feature, infinite lives, and invincibility.
These quality-of-life additions make the notoriously challenging platformer more accessible without compromising the integrity cherished by long-time fans. Beyond gameplay, the compilation delivers extensive behind-the-scenes material.
An exclusive interactive documentary grants players over 50 minutes of new interviews with key developers from the original Ubisoft Montpellier team.
