Ubisoft is shining a spotlight on one of its most beloved yet recently underrepresented franchises with the release of Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition.
This milestone not only celebrates three decades of the iconic platforming hero but also signals Ubisoft’s renewed commitment to the Rayman brand, with future plans already in discussion. Originally launched in 1995, Rayman quickly became synonymous with inventive gameplay and a whimsical art style that captivated players across generations.
Over the years, the series established itself as a staple of Ubisoft’s catalogue, with successful entries spanning major platforms, including the Nintendo Switch via titles like Rayman Legends Definitive Edition.
Despite its enduring charm, recent years saw a lull in new releases for the franchise.
However, this anniversary is poised to change that trajectory. In a recent interview with Variety, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot reaffirmed Rayman’s significance to the company’s legacy.
“Rayman is a landmark franchise for Ubisoft, and it’s very dear to me because it played a crucial role in Ubisoft’s growth during its formative years.
We’re delighted to celebrate the anniversary with the launch of Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition, a tribute to the original game’s legacy,” Guillemot said.
He emphasized that this release marks a fresh beginning for the brand, stating, “It represents the first phase of Rayman’s comeback, and it’s inspiring to see fans continue to appreciate Rayman’s distinctive style and lasting appeal.” Guillemot also highlighted the broader success and durability of Ubisoft’s franchises, referencing Rainbow Six’s decade-long run and Assassin’s Creed’s 18-year history.
He assured fans that the Rayman series would continue to evolve and adapt, aiming to reach new and existing audiences.
“While we’re not able to share specific details today, we’ll be providing more information about what’s next for Rayman in the near future,” Guillemot concluded. Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition is set to launch on multiple platforms, with a particularly strong presence on Nintendo Switch—a platform known for its vibrant indie and retro-inspired lineup.
Players can look forward to experiencing the classic platforming action that defined Rayman’s legacy, with enhancements and content curated to honor the franchise’s rich history. The revitalization of Rayman underscores Ubisoft’s strategy to leverage its extensive portfolio of beloved properties for modern audiences.
As anticipation builds, fans and industry insiders alike will be watching closely for further announcements, possibly during upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations or via the Nintendo eShop.
