Ubisoft delays Rayman Legends Retold to December 3

Overview

Ubisoft has confirmed that the release of Rayman Legends Retold, an enhanced remake of the 2013 platformer, has been delayed from October 1, 2026, to December 3, 2026. Although the title has already reached “gold” status—signaling that primary development is complete—development teams at Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan are utilizing the extra time to ensure “every detail receives proper care and polish.”

Recent updates have detailed the title’s transition to a 2.5D/3D visual style using the Snowdrop engine, featuring a new narrative involving a threat to the Glade of Dreams and a sixth realm, the Land of the Livid Dead. The remake includes expanded musical levels, the return of the Kung Foot mini-game, and the return of Murphy. To accommodate players, the game includes accessibility options such as an arachnophobia mode and high-contrast settings.

Ubisoft will showcase a playable demonstration of the title at Paris Games Week from October 22 to 25, 2026. Additionally, the company revealed details for special editions, such as a Launch Edition that may include physical collector items like a large map of the Glade of Dreams and lithographs.

On September 24, Ubisoft released official PC system requirements, which sparked debate among players who consider the specifications “unexpectedly high” for a game with cartoonish graphics. While minimum requirements for 1080p include an Intel Core i3-8100 or GTX 1660, the recommended hardware for 4K at ultra settings requires an Intel Core i5-9400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600, paired with an NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD RX 7900 XTX. The title will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
