Following a recent leak, Ubisoft made it official that it’s developing Rayman Legends Retold. The game is heading to Nintendo Switch 2 on October 1, 2026.
Rayman Legends Retold is a remake of the 2013 game. Ubisoft has overhauled the visuals, now in 2.5D / 3D. The team is also adding in new content such as a new villain, a new story, a sixth realm, and more.
Rayman Legends was one of the bigger titles on Wii U back in the day. It was originally supposed to be an exclusive for that console in 2012, but Ubisoft pushed it back to the following year to make it multiplatform.
We later saw Rayman Legends Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch in 2017. This included additions for Kung Foot with a couple of new modes, the ability to play in multiplayer with Joy-Con or wirelessly, and more.
Here’s some information about the remake:
Led by Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan, Rayman Legends Retold builds on the charm of the original 2013 game, now brought to life with stunning 3D visuals, a brand-new story and fully voiced cinematics. Players can join Rayman, Globox, Barbara, Grand Minimus, and Murphy on a new adventure to restore peace to the Glade of Dreams, threatened by a shadowy villain spreading chaos across the realms. Playable solo or with up to four players in couch co-op, players can experience iconic fast-paced platforming as they leap, glide, and punch their way through a never-before-seen sixth realm, epic boss battles and worlds filled with hidden Teensies to rescue.
With new and improved gameplay, players can dive into a rich selection of returning levels, take flight on thrilling dragon rides, test their skills in the Cave of Trials, and jam through four all-new musical stages. They will also be able to explore a reimagined Glade of Dreams, now more immersive than ever, featuring new character encounters and surprises around every corner. In addition, Kung Foot returns with improved controls, power-ups, and customizable rules, delivering hours of frenzied competition.
Throughout their journey, players can enjoy an expanded soundtrack that blends fan-favorite original themes with new compositions from acclaimed composers Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope.

Brand producer Loïc Gounon said today: “Rayman Legends Retold is our way of revisiting what makes Rayman so special, and re‑telling that experience for a new generation of players. We wanted to preserve everything fans love, and Legends gave us the perfect foundation to expand Rayman’s lore, its world logic, and how everything connects together.”
