Introduction
Rayman Legends Retold is the official remake of Ubisoft's 2013 platformer Rayman Legends.
The new version reimagines the original title in 2.5D / 3D with additional content, and Ubisoft has confirmed a release for Nintendo Switch 2 on October 1, 2026.
The project involves Ubisoft teams including personnel from Ubisoft Milan, and builds on the pedigree of the original game, which was developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and released in 2013.
Performance and technical goals
Ubisoft has signaled that the Nintendo Switch 2 build is a technical priority.
According to Alessandro Arndt Mucchi, the Milan production director, the development team is aiming to run the Switch 2 version at 60 frames per second.
The studio has not provided final details on resolution or optional inputs such as mouse support, and is holding back on specific technical specifications for now.
Content parity across platforms
Ubisoft has also stated that it intends to offer content parity between the Nintendo Switch 2 version and other platforms.
In journalistic terms, the studio confirmed it aims to deliver the same core content and post-launch offerings on Switch 2 as players will find on competing systems, ensuring that Nintendo players receive a comparable experience.
Release date and availability
Rayman Legends Retold is scheduled to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 1, 2026.
Ubisoft has communicated the remake decision and the release timing through its announcement materials.
Additional release details, such as whether the game will appear on the Nintendo eShop at launch or in boxed retail form, will be clarified by Ubisoft closer to release.
Context and industry relevance
The original Rayman Legends is widely regarded as one of the standout platformers of its generation, and the Remake project puts a classic franchise back into focus ahead of a new console generation.
Industry observers have previously questioned how next-generation Nintendo hardware ports will compare to other platforms, and Ubisoft's statements indicate the publisher is prioritizing performance and feature parity on Nintendo Switch 2.
What we still need to learn
Ubisoft has explained why it chose to remake Rayman Legends but has not published full development notes in this announcement.
Key technical specifics such as target resolution, additional control schemes, and platform-exclusive features remain unconfirmed.
Expect further details in follow-up communications from Ubisoft and potential presentations in a future Nintendo Direct or dedicated Ubisoft update.
