Ubisoft Montpellier has officially delayed Rayman Legends Retold for the Nintendo Switch 2, moving the release from its previously announced October 1 date to December 3.
The studio announced the change on social media and confirmed a new game overview trailer will arrive on September 22, with select creators and members of the press sharing hands-on impressions the same day.
Rayman Legends Retold is a 2.5D remake of the critically acclaimed Rayman Legends.
Ubisoft Montpellier — the studio behind the Rayman series and the original Rayman Legends (2013) — said the decision to shift the launch window comes even though the title has already gone gold.
In a statement to fans, the development team explained that they are taking extra time to "make sure every detail gets the care it deserves," and confirmed the new December 3 launch date.
In journalistic terms: Ubisoft Montpellier confirmed the game will now launch on December 3.
Although the project has reached gold status, the studio opted to delay the release to allow additional polishing.
The team also announced a game overview trailer for September 22 and said that a selection of creators and press will publish fresh hands-on impressions that day.
Background and platform context
Rayman Legends originally debuted in 2013 on platforms including PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U, and has since been made available on multiple consoles, including a release on the Nintendo Switch.
Rayman Legends Retold is slated for the Nintendo Switch 2, joining the franchise’s history on Nintendo platforms.
Nintendo's eShop continues to serve as the primary digital storefront for Nintendo systems.
What to watch for
The September 22 trailer will be the first major look at the remake since Ubisoft Montpellier’s announcement of the October date.
With the new December 3 launch, the studio gives itself additional time to finalize gameplay, visual fidelity, and quality-of-life elements.
Ubisoft Montpellier’s track record with platformers and remastered editions means observers will likely scrutinize how the remake balances fidelity to the original with new presentation and mechanical updates.
For now, fans should mark December 3 on their calendars and look for the game overview trailer on September 22 for more concrete details ahead of launch.
