Ubisoft is going through a complicated phase that has led to project cancellations, delays in releases, layoffs, and studio closures. However, amid this crisis, the iconic Rayman saga seems to be on the verge of returning, after years of requests from fans. According to recent reports from the media Gematsu, the Australian Classification Board has registered the title Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition, rated G for very brief violence. This registration, dated January 22, fuels the expectation of a long-awaited return of the beloved character.
Rayman returns in style
Journalist Tom Henderson, known for his knowledge about Ubisoft, has indicated that the company is working on two projects related to Rayman. The first, known as Project Iceman, will be a re-release of the original game from 1995, and it is expected to be available “very, very soon”. This release coincides with the celebration of the character’s 30th anniversary, which could further intensify the relevance of his return.
The second project, called Steambot, is a remake of Rayman Legends scheduled for late 2026. The commercial performance of this remake will play a crucial role, as it could determine whether Ubisoft decides to move forward with the development of a new main title, Rayman 4. Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan are responsible for revitalizing the saga and have expressed their interest in bringing Rayman back to the video game scene.
Despite the difficulties the company faces, these developments could represent a turning point for Ubisoft, as it revives one of its most beloved franchises. The arrival of new titles can be seen as a response to the growing demand from the public, who eagerly await new adventures featuring the iconic character. Meanwhile, uncertainty about Ubisoft’s future remains, and players are attentive to every announcement the company makes.
