Ubisoft confirmed that a remake of its 2013 platformer Rayman Legends will launch as Rayman Legends Retold on October 1. The title lands on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, priced at $40 for the standard edition. Development combined the original Montpellier studio with Ubisoft Milan and other internal support teams.

The remake adds four‑player couch co‑op and a host of visual upgrades, aiming to refresh the game for modern hardware. Ubisoft promises new musical stages, an expanded soundtrack, and an additional realm to explore, while retaining the quirky charm that defined the original. A revived Kung Foot minigame arrives with improved controls, power‑ups and customizable rules.

Rayman Legends Retold arrives amid a wave of nostalgia‑driven remasters, signaling Ubisoft’s confidence that classic platformers still sell. At $40, the price aligns with other premium remakes, offering both longtime fans and newcomers a polished entry point. The launch expands the franchise’s presence on next‑gen consoles and the upcoming Switch 2, strengthening Ubisoft’s cross‑platform portfolio.

Fans who enjoyed the original’s inventive level design will find fresh challenges in the new realm, while the upgraded soundtrack reworks familiar melodies with modern orchestration. By bundling these enhancements without inflating the price, Ubisoft aims to set a benchmark for value in the crowded remaster market.
