Ubisoft has released the first trailer for Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition and confirmed an October 1, 2026 release date.
The company announced the remaster alongside Rayman Legends Retold and said that customers who purchase Rayman Legends Retold will receive Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition at no additional cost.
The announcement positions the release as part of a broader Rayman resurgence from Ubisoft.
Background
Rayman Origins originally launched in 2011 from Ubisoft Montpellier and helped redefine the Rayman franchise with hand-drawn art, cooperative platforming, and tightly designed levels.
Rayman Legends followed in 2013 and has since seen multiple remasters and re-releases across platforms.
Ubisoft's latest announcement revisits Origins with modern upgrades and quality-of-life improvements.
What Ubisoft announced (paraphrased)
Ubisoft described the game's premise by saying the Glade of Dreams has been overrun by Darktoons, prompting the Fairy Council to call on Rayman to restore balance.
Rayman will be joined by his friend Globox and the Teensies as players work through handcrafted levels to stop the invasion.
Key features outlined by Ubisoft include:
- More than 60 handcrafted levels with hidden paths, evolving abilities, and boss encounters ranging from multi-eyed monsters to large golems and hostile flora.
- Modern technical upgrades targeting 4K resolution and 60 FPS performance alongside new quality-of-life features.
- Collectibles such as 60 hidden Relics and a progress-tracking feature called the Snoring Tree.
- A unique hand-drawn art style with a roster of over 100 characters and distinct worlds.
- Up to 4-player local couch co-op for cooperative or competitive play.
