Ubisoft has announced Rayman Legends Retold, a full remake of the celebrated platformer developed by Ubisoft Montpellier with support from Ubisoft Milan.
The publisher says the title will launch October 1, 2026 on PC, Switch 2 and other consoles; a trailer accompanied the announcement and provides the first public look at the updated visuals and content.
Background
Rayman Legends originally debuted in 2013 and established itself as a showcase for Ubisoft Montpellier's inventive platform design, rhythm-based stages and multiplayer features.
The franchise has since appeared across multiple platforms, including Nintendo hardware and contemporary consoles, and retains a dedicated fanbase that values its tight controls and cooperative play.
What Ubisoft is promising

The company described the remake as restoring the franchise's signature platforming and adding a “new realm” called the Glade of Dreams, alongside expanded multiplayer and audio offerings.
Key features highlighted by Ubisoft include:
- A new realm, the Glade of Dreams, presented as an original area created for the remake.
- Expanded Kung Foot, the game's fan-favorite competitive mini-game, updated for larger matches.
- An extended soundtrack and reworked musical stages that emphasize rhythm-driven mechanics.

The October 1, 2026 date comes directly from the publisher's announcement.
