Michel Ancel, the original creator of Rayman, has confirmed that Ubisoft is developing a refreshed version of the classic platformer for PS5. The reveal follows an age-rating listing for a Rayman re-release and aligns with plans to mark the franchise's 30th anniversary.

  • Confirmation came via a recent Retro Gamer feature in which Ancel acknowledged the project, turning prior speculation into a near-certainty.
  • An age-rating entry discovered weeks earlier hinted at a re-release; Ancel’s comments suggest that listing was linked to an official enhanced remaster, not just a catalog update.
  • Reports describe the effort as an "enhanced remaster," implying visual and technical updates tailored for modern hardware—presumably the PS5.
  • Ubisoft appears to be timing the project around Rayman’s 30th anniversary, making this a celebratory revisit to the PS1-era original.
  • Specifics such as a release date, pricing, and which editions will be available have not been disclosed; further details are expected from Ubisoft or follow-up interviews.
