New Rayman Game: Rayman Legends Retold
Direct answer: The new Rayman game is Rayman Legends Retold, Ubisoft's full remake of the 2013 classic, rebuilt in the Snowdrop engine. It launches October 1, 2026, on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, GeForce Now, Ubisoft+, and Blacknut. Ubisoft has indicated this is intended as a foundation for the future of the Rayman franchise.
Is This the New Rayman Game?
Yes. Rayman Legends Retold is the next major Rayman release from Ubisoft. It is not Rayman 4 - it is a remake of Rayman Legends - but Ubisoft has signaled that the franchise's future direction depends on Retold's reception. Media outlets like PC Gamer have described it as a potential "soft reboot" for the series.
Why a Remake Instead of Rayman 4?
This is a recurring question in community discussions. The likely reasoning involves several factors:
- Rebuilding the audience: The Rayman series has been dormant for several years. A remake of its most acclaimed entry is a lower-risk way to reintroduce the franchise.
- Engine transition: Moving from UbiArt to Snowdrop requires rebuilding assets from scratch. A remake tests the pipeline for potential future original titles.
- Bundle value: Including Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition means the package offers two full games, making it an attractive entry point for new players.
- Foundation building: Ubisoft has explicitly stated that Retold is meant to serve as a foundation for Rayman's future.

The Future of Rayman
Ubisoft Montpellier (the studio behind Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, and now Retold) was also the lead developer on Beyond Good & Evil 2. The studio's renewed focus on Rayman with Retold, combined with the use of the Snowdrop engine, suggests Ubisoft is investing in the franchise's future. Whether this leads to Rayman 4, more remakes, or entirely new entries depends on Retold's commercial and critical reception.
