Creator Hints Rayman Remake as Ubisoft Folds Franchise Into Its Future

Ubisoft's recent restructuring hasn't sidelined Rayman — the series' creator has indicated the character is very much part of the publisher's roadmap. A rating for a Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition last month fueled fan talk, and Michel Ancel told Retro Gamer that a new project aims to bring back the original game.

• Creator confirmation: Michel Ancel has spoken about a fresh undertaking centered on the first Rayman, suggesting development momentum behind the franchise.
• Anniversary signal: A recent rating for a 30th Anniversary Edition added weight to rumours that Ubisoft plans a commemorative release.
• Remake possibility: Ancel’s comments imply the return may be in the form of an updated version of the inaugural title rather than a wholly new sequel.
• Post-restructure outlook: Despite corporate changes at Ubisoft, Rayman remains named among the company’s priorities, indicating continued support for legacy IP.
