Rayman Returns in a Stunning Modern Retelling of Legends on PS5 1

These games leaked like nobody's business, but Ubisoft has now officially announced a duo of new Rayman projects for PS5.

The first and most prominent is Rayman Legends Retold, a reimagining of the beloved side-scrolling platformer with new, 3D visuals.

It seems to be largely still a 2D game, albeit with three-dimensional models and environments, but there are clearly some segments in this remake that veer behind the characters as well.

There's also voice acting and proper cutscenes this time, so there's a greater emphasis on storytelling too.

I guess one nice thing about this is that the original Legends is still there and still great, but this new interpretation looks really cool too. It's obviously pretty different from the original game but, I dunno, I don't mind it. More Rayman is always good in my book.

Not to be forgotten, there's also Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, a more straightforward remaster of the predecessor to Legends — and an excellent 2D platformer in its own right.

Nothing's really been shown of that, but we do know it'll render the game at 4K and 60 frames per second, and will include haptic feedback and various quality-of-life improvements.

It'll be available standalone, or if you get the deluxe edition of Rayman Legends Retold, it comes packaged with that too. Both games are out on 1st October, 2026.
