Rayman Remake Progressing Well at Ubisoft Montpellier, Journalist Reports

Tom Henderson, a games industry journalist, uploaded a new video in which he said a Rayman remake is “progressing well” at Ubisoft’s French studio.

Henderson’s statement, delivered in his regular coverage of Ubisoft developments, indicates internal work is underway but does not provide an official timetable or release window.

Ubisoft has not publicly confirmed which Rayman title — if any specific entry — is being remade.

While an unverified leak has previously suggested Rayman Legends as a candidate, that claim has not been corroborated by Ubisoft and should be treated as unconfirmed.

Official confirmation, platform details, and release dates remain pending until Ubisoft issues a formal announcement.

Context: Rayman is one of Ubisoft’s longest-running platforming franchises.

The series debuted in 1995 and gained renewed attention with Rayman Origins (2011) and Rayman Legends (2013).

Rayman Legends first launched in 2013 across multiple consoles and later received a Definitive Edition for the Nintendo Switch in 2017.

Ubisoft Montpellier, the studio behind Origins and Legends, has built a reputation for high-quality 2D platformers and character-driven design.

Michel Ancel, the creator associated with the Rayman series, led the studio for many years before stepping away from Ubisoft in 2020.

Rewritten statement: In his latest video, Henderson summarized the situation by saying that a Rayman remake under development at Ubisoft’s French studio is progressing well internally, but no official public details have been released by Ubisoft.

What this means for Nintendo platforms: Rayman titles have a documented history on Nintendo platforms, including the Switch Definitive Edition of Rayman Legends.

If Ubisoft chooses to target Nintendo hardware again, the franchise’s past presence on the Nintendo eShop and coverage during Nintendo-focused events means a future reveal could involve Switch support, but platform plans will only be confirmed by Ubisoft.

For now, the verified facts are limited to Henderson’s reporting that internal progress is occurring and Ubisoft’s lack of an official announcement.

Industry watchers and fans should look for a formal Ubisoft statement or a publisher-led reveal—potentially during seasonal showcase windows such as a Ubisoft presentation or a Nintendo Direct—before drawing conclusions about platforms, release timing, or specific game content.
