Ubisoft has announced a delay for Rayman Legends Retold, moving the release window from October to December 3 to allow additional polish.
The reimagined 2D platformer — part of Ubisoft’s long-running Rayman franchise — is now scheduled to launch on December 3 after the studio confirmed the title has gone gold and laid out plans for a Game Overview trailer on September 22.
Background and context
Rayman Legends Retold is a refreshed take on the 2D platforming formula that helped define the Rayman series.
Ubisoft, the game’s developer and publisher, told fans via a message on X that while the title has reached gold status, the teams working on it need more time to make sure "every detail gets the care it deserves." The company also said a Game Overview trailer will arrive on September 22, and that selected creators and press will publish hands-on impressions the same day.
Paraphrased statement from Ubisoft
In a message to fans, Ubisoft’s Rayman Dev Team explained that the game has officially gone gold but the studio is intentionally taking extra time to finalize polish.
The team said the public will get a first look with a Game Overview trailer on September 22, and that a curated group of creators and press will share fresh hands-on impressions that day.
Ubisoft closed the message by thanking players for their patience, support and trust.
What’s confirmed and what remains open
Verified details from Ubisoft include the new release date of December 3, the assertion that the master build is complete (gone gold), and the planned trailer and hands-on coverage on September 22.
Ubisoft did not provide additional platform-specific rollout details in that message; information about storefront availability such as the Nintendo eShop, or presentation windows like a Nintendo Direct appearance, has not been confirmed by the company in this announcement.
What to watch next
Expect Ubisoft to publish the Game Overview trailer on September 22 and for early impressions to appear from select outlets and creators that day.
Until Ubisoft shares a full platform and storefront breakdown, readers should look to official Ubisoft channels and the company’s X account for further updates on platforms, pre-orders and eShop listings.
