Unverified reports are circulating online that Ubisoft is working on a new Rayman Legends project purportedly targeting next-generation Nintendo hardware often referred to in rumor circles as “Nintendo Switch 2.” While the claims have attracted attention, no official confirmation has been issued by Ubisoft or Nintendo.
Background
Rayman Legends was developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and originally released in 2013, first appearing on Nintendo's Wii U before coming to other platforms.
The platformer is widely praised for its level design, co-op play, and distinctive art direction, and the franchise has been maintained by Ubisoft across multiple releases and re-releases.
What the reports claim (unverified)
According to the reports, the project appears under names such as "Rayman Legends Untold" or "Rayman Legends Retold." The accounts describe the title as a remake that shifts some sections toward 3D or 2.5D presentation and suggests cosmetic updates for characters including Rayman and Globox.
The story additions and new gameplay segments are also mentioned in these write-ups.
One claim further states the release would arrive on October 1, 2026 and that an announcement could appear during an upcoming PlayStation State of Play broadcast.
To restate these claims in journalistic terms: sources circulating the rumor allege Ubisoft is developing a remake of Rayman Legends with updated 3D elements, character redesigns, additional skins, and new story content, and that the project would target next-generation Nintendo hardware.
These points remain unverified and should be treated as rumor until confirmed by official channels.
Verified context and what to watch for
It is factual that Rayman Legends launched in 2013 and was created by Ubisoft Montpellier; Ubisoft is the franchise publisher.
Historically, major game announcements for Nintendo platforms have been revealed through events and direct announcements, and digital storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop list release details when publishers submit titles.
Until Ubisoft or Nintendo provides an official statement or listing, details about titles, platforms, release dates, distribution formats, and gameplay changes are speculative.
We will monitor official Ubisoft and Nintendo channels, including press releases, storefront listings, and events, and update when confirmed information becomes available.
