Ubisoft is gearing up for a major comeback of its classic "Rayman" franchise, with the project now in full - scale development. This comes as the company undergoes significant strategic realignment in the gaming market.
In early 2025, Ubisoft made waves by establishing a new subsidiary dedicated to three of its major IPs, including "Assassin's Creed". Concurrently, its main studios are now focusing on nurturing long - standing yet under - utilized IPs, and "Rayman" is at the forefront. The Montreal and Milan studios, which have a proven track record with high - scoring "Rayman" titles such as "Rayman Origins" and "Rayman Legends", are leading the charge on this new endeavor. Their past successes have built a solid foundation, instilling confidence in fans that the new game will uphold the series' high standards.
The development status of the new "Rayman" game remains under wraps. Recruitment efforts by Ubisoft Milan for a 3D game animator and a senior game designer suggest a possible return to 3D gameplay, a departure since "Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc" in 2003. However, the 2.5D style seen in "Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown" cannot be ruled out. As of now, Ubisoft has not revealed details about gameplay mechanics, storylines, or a release date. But the company has promised to share more information at an appropriate time, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
