Rayman Legends Remake Leaks Reveal Release Date, Price, and a Clair Obscur Crossover

Ubisoft is reportedly working on a fresh version of Rayman Legends, with leaks suggesting a launch later this year. This new edition, known as Rayman Legends Retold, is said to arrive on October 1, with a physical version available for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. The information comes from billbil-kun of Dealabs, a trusted source for leaks and insider news. According to him, the game could be officially revealed as early as next week. Additional rumors point to a possible announcement during Sony’s State of Play presentation on June 2, which is known for showcasing major titles.

New Features and Expansions

The remake appears to include a number of new features and updates. According to N1Up, the game has been expanded with 3D sections, a significant departure from its original 2.5D platforming style. Additionally, character crossovers have been confirmed, with Astro Bot and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 characters making appearances. These additions promise to bring a fresh layer of variety to the gameplay. Another notable upgrade is the introduction of four-player online co-op, which was previously limited to local multiplayer only.

Pricing and Value

Rayman Legends Retold is expected to launch at $39.99, a competitive price for a side-scroller of this caliber. The original Rayman Legends, released in 2013, is considered one of the best platformers ever made, and it was the last mainline Rayman game directed by Michel Ancel, the character’s creator. It was also a showcase for the now-defunct Ubisoft Montpellier studio at its peak.

What to Expect Next

With the potential for an official reveal coming up soon, fans are eagerly waiting for more details. The upcoming State of Play event on June 2 could be a key moment for Ubisoft to officially announce Rayman Legends Retold. Be sure to tune in for live coverage of the event to catch all the major announcements. This looks like it could be a big show for Ubisoft and its growing roster of remastered titles.
