Overview
- Ubisoft unveiled Rayman Legends: Retold during PlayStation’s State of Play on Tuesday, June 2, and set a firm release date of October 1, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
- Co-developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan, the game is rebuilt in the Snowdrop engine to deliver 3D/2.5D visuals while preserving the original’s side‑scrolling platforming and level designs.
- Retold adds a new sixth world and final boss, dragon‑ride 3D levels, four new musical stages, expanded Cave of Trials content, returning Kung Foot, fully voiced cutscenes, and 55 minutes of new music by Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope.
- Ubisoft says teams are targeting 60 frames per second across platforms and will rely on tools like DLSS and resolution scaling to meet that goal while noting ray tracing is GPU‑intensive and may be limited on some builds.
- The game will retail for about $40, be available on Steam and Ubisoft Store with GeForce NOW and Blacknut support, keep four‑player couch co‑op, and leave final per‑platform performance and any online co‑op details to be confirmed before launch.
