The Rayman franchise has long been a cornerstone of Ubisoft’s catalog, but has largely gone dormant since Rayman Legends in 2013. While the character has made cameo appearances and mobile spin-offs, fans have waited over a decade for a core console revival.
“If confirmed, the Rayman reboot Ubisoft Milan is working on would be the first full console release for the franchise in over a decade.”
Rayman returning in a 3D action form wouldn’t just be nostalgic — it would be Ubisoft reactivating one of its most artistically-driven IPs. This isn’t just platforming. It’s legacy management.
