Overview
- Ubisoft told fans this week that the original Rayman Legends will remain available on digital storefronts and will not be delisted when the new remake launches.
- The new release, billed by Ubisoft as a full remake called Rayman Legends: Retold, reimagines the game with updated visuals, fresh 3D/2.5D sequences, new levels and narrative beats, and voiced cinematics.
- Retold will also expand the soundtrack with contributions from Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope, add new musical stages, revive and modernize local multiplayer modes including an improved Kung Foot, and introduce other gameplay additions.
- Early reporting and short-lived retailer listings drove initial expectations for a Rayman revival and a separate Origins: Enhanced Edition, but Ubisoft has only confirmed Retold and the decision to keep the original game on sale.
- This approach follows Ubisoft precedent for re-releases that keep older versions live, a choice that safeguards consumer access to purchased versions and gives players the option to buy either the classic or the updated remake.
