Rayman fans might have something exciting to look forward to! Michel Ancel, the creator of the beloved series, hinted at a possible remake of the original Rayman game.
In a recent chat with RetroGamer, Ancel mentioned he didn’t recall all the details but confirmed that the remake would feature HD graphics. He also teased that Ubisoft may add extra checkpoints, making the game less challenging for newer players.
“Rayman is still a fun game,” Ancel said. “Its gameplay is unique because of its precise movements. While it can be tough, the constraints from the past keep it feeling fresh today.” He believes the addition of save points will help engage more players, making the game more enjoyable for everyone.
News of this remake isn’t just speculation. The Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition has already gotten attention from the Australian Classification Board, which rated it ‘G’ for very mild violence. It’s expected to launch on both the PS5 and Nintendo Switch, with Atari listed as the developer and publisher.
On the anniversary of the franchise, Loic Gounon, a brand producer, shared exciting updates. He announced that talented teams at Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan are working on future projects for Rayman. He cautioned fans not to expect news right away, but reassured them that Rayman is in capable hands.
Despite these developments, there’s some uncertainty surrounding Ubisoft’s plans. The company recently announced a restructuring, which included shutting down two studios and canceling several projects, including the much-anticipated Prince of Persia remake. This shake-up has affected their stock price, dropping it by over a third.
Fans have been buzzing on social media about the potential remake. Many are nostalgic about the original game’s charm and are eager for an HD version that could introduce Rayman to a whole new generation. The enthusiasm is palpable, showing just how beloved this character and his adventures are!
While we wait for official word, it’s clear that Rayman holds a special place in gaming history. From its original release in 1995 to the conversations today, its impact is undeniable. With the remake in the works, it’s an exciting time to be a Rayman fan!
