A rumored Rayman Legends remake is reportedly in development at Ubisoft Montpellier, according to industry journalist Tom Henderson.
Rayman Legends, originally developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and released in 2013 on multiple platforms including PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U, later arrived as the Rayman Legends Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch in 2018.
The original title was widely praised for its cooperative play and handcrafted 2D platforming, and remains a notable entry in Ubisoft’s platformer catalogue.
Henderson, who has a history of reporting on industry projects and leaks, said he has been hearing positive reports about the remake from sources.
Rewriting his remarks in journalistic terms: he indicated that the project reportedly preserves the cooperative features and core gameplay that fans appreciated in the 2013 release, and that the remake appears to retain the elements that defined the original game’s appeal.
On timing, Henderson suggested the remake could be announced this summer during one of the industry showcases or at Summer Game Fest, which traditionally takes place in June.
In his reporting, he framed the potential reveal as something that may appear in a broader publisher showcase rather than as an independent announcement.
There has been no official confirmation from Ubisoft as of this writing.
Facts about the franchise and studio provide context for why a remake would attract attention.
Ubisoft Montpellier is the studio behind both Rayman Origins (2011) and Rayman Legends (2013), and Rayman Legends has been re-released across multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch Definitive Edition in 2018.
Nintendo Direct presentations and publisher showcases have become common venues for platform-specific announcements or timed reveals to Nintendo audiences, and Summer Game Fest is frequently used by publishers to debut high-profile projects to a global audience.
At present, the information on a Rayman Legends remake rests on Henderson’s reporting and has not been corroborated by Ubisoft.
Journalists and fans should watch official channels such as Ubisoft’s press releases, Nintendo Direct schedules, and Summer Game Fest programming for confirmation.
If verified, a Rayman Legends remake from Ubisoft Montpellier would continue the studio’s long-running work on the Rayman franchise and could bring the series’ cooperative platforming back to modern platforms and storefronts like the Nintendo eShop.
