Ubisoft has officially announced that the iconic Rayman is making a comeback after more than a decade of absence. The news has sparked massive excitement among gamers worldwide, as the character holds nostalgic value for millions who grew up with his adventures. The project is being developed by two of Ubisoft’s most creative studios: Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan.

2D or 3D… The Big Question

At this stage, Ubisoft has not revealed whether the new installment will stick to the classic 2D style of Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends, or if it will make the leap into a fully-fledged 3D experience with next-gen visuals. This uncertainty has fueled passionate debates among fans—some want Rayman to stay true to his 2D roots, while others hope for a bold 3D reinvention similar to Rayman 2.

More Than 10 Years of Waiting

What makes this comeback even more special is the fact that the last full game in the franchise was Rayman Legends, released in 2013. Since then, Rayman has been absent from the spotlight, leaving fans waiting and hoping for over ten years. Now, at last, their patience may pay off.

Community Reactions

Since the announcement, social media has been buzzing with excitement and speculation. Some players believe Rayman’s return could breathe new life into the platforming genre, which has been overshadowed by shooters and large-scale action titles. Others are eager to see how Ubisoft can modernize the experience and attract a new audience unfamiliar with the older games.

What Could the Future Hold?

With the growing success of remakes and remasters, Rayman’s return could mark the start of a larger revival for classic platformers. If Ubisoft executes this project well, the new game could be another milestone in the character’s journey, just like his original debut in the 1990s.
