Leak Suggests Ubisoft Is Preparing a Rayman Legends Remake

Confirmation would signal Ubisoft’s continued push to remake classic games with a likely fall 2026 release window.

Overview

  • In late May a logo and related images posted on X by leaker @intercelluar were widely circulated and reported as showing a remake called Rayman Legends: Retold that is internally dubbed “Project Steambot.”
  • Multiple outlets cite unnamed industry sources saying Ubisoft Montpellier is leading the project and that series creator Michel Ancel has a consulting role, though those claims have not been confirmed by Ubisoft.
  • Reporting describes technical work to add 2.5D and 3D elements, upgraded visuals, new story content and modern quality‑of‑life changes rather than a straight re-release, but those details remain unverified.
  • Several reports place a launch in fall 2026, with one source naming October 1 and others saying the game could appear on next‑gen platforms including Nintendo Switch 2 and be sold as a game‑key retail card; these platform and date claims are still speculative.
  • Ubisoft has not commented on the leak, and journalists expect an official reveal at upcoming industry showcases; the report fits the company’s recent focus on remakes after earlier catalog projects and high‑profile cancellations.
