Rayman’s Highly Anticipated Brawlhalla Debut Set for November on Nintendo Switch eShop
The beloved Ubisoft mascot Rayman will officially join the ever-expanding roster of fighters in Brawlhalla as the game launches for Nintendo Switch via the eShop on November 6th.
This collaborative update, announced by Ubisoft and Atlanta-based studio Blue Mammoth Games, marks a significant moment for both series and fans of iconic platforming characters in competitive gaming.
Rayman’s addition to Brawlhalla follows Ubisoft’s acquisition of Blue Mammoth Games earlier in 2018, cementing a partnership that has enabled seamless character integration and cross-promotional opportunities.
Since Rayman’s inception in 1995, he has become a mainstay in platforming history, although in recent years, the character’s presence has taken a back seat to Ubisoft’s newer franchises like the Rabbids.
Brawlhalla’s roster expansion signals a return to the spotlight for one of Ubisoft’s most celebrated heroes.
Brawlhalla, renowned for its free-to-play model and accessible yet challenging gameplay, draws heavy inspiration from genre leaders such as Super Smash Bros.
The game features over 40 unique fighters from a variety of publishers and backgrounds, offering multiple modes including single-player, cooperative, online, and local competitive play.
Noteworthy for its cross-platform support and vibrant eSports scene, Brawlhalla continues to gain traction among both casual players and the fighting game community.
Ubisoft confirmed that Rayman’s arrival will coincide with Brawlhalla’s Switch eShop launch.
This update is particularly notable within the context of recent trends, with indie hits like Shovel Knight and Yooka-Laylee also appearing in various fighting titles—underscoring the popularity of nostalgic cameos in contemporary games.
A Ubisoft representative emphasized the importance of honoring Rayman’s legacy with this release, noting that Brawlhalla offers an ideal platform for both franchise veterans and newcomers to experience the character in a new and competitive environment.
Fans can look forward to Rayman’s signature moves and unique skillset adding further depth to Brawlhalla’s competitive meta on launch day.
With its release date set for November 6th on Nintendo Switch eShop, Brawlhalla continues to expand its reach across major gaming platforms, ensuring that both seasoned supporters and newcomers alike will find new excitement in the ever-evolving platform fighter lineup.
