Rayman Legends Retold

Rayman Legends Retold is a standalone reinterpretation of Rayman Legends. Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan are rebuilding the platformer for current hardware: the Glade of Dreams gets a new 3D presentation, and the story is expanded and told through fully voiced cutscenes.

Playable characters are Rayman, Globox, Barbara, Grand Minimus and Murphy. The campaign remains a side-scrolling action platformer, but combines familiar levels with new areas, additional music sections and new gameplay variations.

Rayman Legends Retold launches on Dec 3, 2026. Ubisoft originally planned the release for Oct 1, but postponed the game by two months in September, even though development had already reached gold status.

The base game includes Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition. Standard and Deluxe packages are sales variants of the same game, not separate games.

Native versions are announced for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. On PC, the game is available via Steam, Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store; Ubisoft also names GeForce NOW and Blacknut.

A native PS4, Xbox One or Switch 1 version has not been announced.

At its core, Retold remains a fast 2D platformer: Rayman and his friends jump, glide and fight their way through the Glade of Dreams, rescue Teensies and take on boss fights. Ubisoft combines familiar levels with a newly built presentation and expands the campaign with additional gameplay ideas.

The entire campaign can be played solo or in local co-op with up to four players. Music levels return and combine platforming with the rhythm of the soundtrack. Also included are dragon rides, which change the pace and perspective of certain sections, and the Cave of Trials as an additional challenge.

On PC, Rayman Legends Retold requires at least Windows 10 64-bit, a Core i3-7100 or Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB RAM and a GTX 1650, Radeon RX 5500 XT or Intel Arc A580. For the recommended configuration, Ubisoft and Steam respectively list Windows 11, Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 3600X, 16 GB RAM and RTX 2060, RX 5600 XT or Arc A750. Around 10 GB of storage space is required.

Retold adds a sixth realm, four new music levels and a reworked story about a new threat from the underworld. The new area Land of the Livid Dead becomes gradually accessible in the game. There are also dragon rides, new Cave of Trials challenges, additional outfits and an expanded soundtrack by Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope.

The main campaign supports local co-op for up to four players. In addition, Kung Foot returns in reworked form: Ubisoft cites improved controls, power-ups and customizable rules. This means the separate Party mode remains a permanent multiplayer feature of Retold alongside the campaign.

Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition is included when you buy Rayman Legends Retold. The reworked version of Rayman Origins is therefore part of the Retold package and not a separate product.
