After some leaks and rumours, Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition has been officially announced.
Developed by Digital Eclipse, the game is a retro collection that gathers together various different versions of the character's first adventure.
It launches digitally tomorrow, 13th February 2026, while a physical launch is planned for June this year.
The collection of course includes the PS1 original, but also included are the versions from MS-DOS, Atari Jaguar, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance.
On top of these, there's a "reimagined" soundtrack, 120 extra levels, and even a playable version of the long-lost SNES prototype. This really is something for the fans.
This being a Digital Eclipse game, there's also a documentary of sorts to enjoy, containing interviews with some of the original developers as well as artwork and design documents.

Day one for me. One of the defining games of my childhood. ❤️
Is it sad that this was in my Top 3 announcements from the SoP?
I grew up on Rayman 1 and I’m so excited to not only play this again but get the physical copy when it releases. 😊
When I boot this up and I hear that amazing score... it's going to be glorious!
I am so ready to not be able to beat this game again, even with unlimited lives.
The interviews and behind the scene stuff is cool.
The problem is offering more lives and other cheats or emulation tweaks, DOESN'T FIX THE LEVEL DESIGN OR DIFFICULTY Ubisoft. So I'm not going to buy this when it's already baked into the game. You can beat it if your good enough but I'm not so I've no interest and I'm not buying a game for just the bonus content.
Redemption the fan reworking is a better version. Or just skipping the game entirely as well is an option.
I'm glad they are offering it but I already played it via PS Classic so I'm good.
I have plenty of 2D and 3D platformers I'd rather play but access to the original again is nice.
On one hand, I'm glad that Ubisoft is finally acknowledging some of its legacy IPs, and I want to show my support for that, especially since I've never finished Rayman 1. On the other hand, I don't want to support Ubisoft...
Unreasonably excited about this
This looked really bad.
So happy they've included the extra 120 levels from Rayman Gold.
Very cool. Hope they do a Rayan 2 version in the future.
I hope it could be cross-gen in the future update.
That’s an instant buy from me. I’m a sucker for retro game collections, and I love Rayman. I even picked up the Bubsy collection!
A rewind feature was definitely the right call here. Awesome that the GBC and GBA versions are included too. I played those back in the day.
Wow. Seems to have everything I could have possibly asked for in a Definitive version.
@Scottyy really interesting opinion from Scottyy over here, guys. Guys?
@LikelySatan
You should @ the other ones. 😄
Depends on price. With this, and the likes of the recent Super Bomberman collection, I can't help but feel this isn't really what I bought a PS5 Pro for... but nevertheless a nice mid-90s nostalgia trip.
Now THAT is game preservation! Nice!
I thought it was rubbish first time around.
5 different versions of the same game.come on what about the other Rayman games especially the 3D ones which were brilliant
@crimsontadpoles what 5 versions of the same game
@jFug they fecked up with this as they could've done a collection of all the games but instead we get 5 versions of the same game
Seems that my excitement was a bit premature. Now it's out, it appears that they've changed the original music, and it's getting plenty of negative reviews on Steam.
That's a real shame. A Definitive collection should have fixed the OST issues that some older versions had. Instead, it seems to have gotten much worse.
The game went from an easy buy to an avoid for me.
