Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition made its debut on the Nintendo Switch and several other platforms last week, marking a significant milestone for one of Ubisoft’s most storied video game franchises.
The new release celebrates three decades of Rayman’s charming, limbless heroics, reviving the original 1995 classic for a modern audience.
Fans were eager to see the platforming icon return on current platforms, with the updated edition available via the Nintendo eShop and other digital storefronts. However, the launch has also prompted a spirited debate within the Rayman community, especially concerning the game’s audio.
Long-time followers of the series took note that the original soundtrack has been replaced by a fresh, reimagined score composed by Christophe Héral.
Héral, renowned for his acclaimed work on Rayman Legends and Rayman Origins, injects new life into the musical backdrop of the game—but the absence of the late Rémi Gazel’s beloved original compositions has left some dedicated fans disappointed.
Importantly, players currently have no option to toggle between the classic and reimagined soundtracks, a feature often appreciated in modern remasters and retrospectives. According to a recent report by GamesRadar+, Ubisoft has acknowledged this feedback.
After a fan publicly suggested the inclusion of an option to reinstate the original Rayman music, a representative from Ubisoft responded by assuring that the appropriate development team would review this request.
This message offers hope to purists wishing to experience the 30th Anniversary Edition with the nostalgic sounds of Rémi Gazel, whose legacy continues to resonate through the franchise.
Notably, Gazel, who passed away in 2019, is credited in the anniversary edition, honoring his significant contributions. Addressing rumors about the game’s post-launch support, coverage by Pure Xbox and statements from an official Ubisoft employee on Reddit clarified that contrary reports regarding a halt in future updates were inaccurate.
The company emphasized that earlier communications may have been mistaken and reaffirmed Ubisoft’s commitment to monitoring player feedback related to both the soundtrack and other technical concerns.
This ongoing engagement suggests Ubisoft is open to future enhancements based on the community’s input. Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition stands as a major event in Ubisoft’s ongoing relationship with classic gaming audiences.
Available on Nintendo Switch, the collection gives new and veteran players alike a chance to revisit the iconic title in an updated format.
Whether additional soundtrack options are ultimately added via a patch or update will depend on continued dialogue between fans and developers.
For now, Rayman’s celebrated history remains at the forefront, showcasing both innovation and reverence for the game’s origins.
