Ubisoft has confirmed that the original Rayman Legends will remain available on digital storefronts even as the company prepares to release the remake, Rayman Legends Retold, across contemporary platforms.
The clarification addresses community concerns about delisting older versions when a high-profile remake is announced.
Background and context
Rayman Legends originally launched in 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC.
The title later received ports to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, becoming a staple in Ubisoft’s 2D platformer catalog.
Rayman Legends Retold has been announced as a reimagining of the game for current-generation hardware; the announcement prompted fans to ask whether older digital editions would be removed from storefronts like the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and PC platforms.
Official response and what it means
When a fan asked whether the original release of Rayman Legends would be delisted, Ubisoft’s official Rayman account responded clearly that the originals will not be removed.
In journalistic terms: Ubisoft confirmed the original release of Rayman Legends will remain available on digital storefronts and will not be delisted in favor of the remake.
This confirmation follows a recent pattern from Ubisoft.
During the reveal of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced—set to launch in early July for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S—Ubisoft similarly confirmed that the original Black Flag would remain available for purchase.
That decision was noted by fans because the Resynced version reportedly omits the original game’s multiplayer component, underscoring the value of preserving legacy editions for consumers and archival purposes.
Why preservation matters
Keeping original releases available supports player choice, backwards compatibility needs, and digital preservation.
Fans who prefer the original art direction, online features, or platform-specific behavior retain the option to buy and play those versions.
For Nintendo Switch owners and users of other platforms, Ubisoft’s stance avoids forcing players into a single remake-focused edition.
Where to buy
With Ubisoft’s confirmation, players can expect Rayman Legends to remain purchasable through storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and PC digital platforms.
For developers and industry observers, the move is a relevant example of how publishers can balance remakes with preservation.
Written by an industry journalist with expertise in Nintendo and developer practices, this update reflects verified statements from Ubisoft and known platform release history for Rayman Legends.
