Ubisoft Confirms Original Rayman Legends Will Not Be Delisted

Players worried about the availability of the classic 2D platformer Rayman Legends can breathe a sigh of relief. Following the reveal of Rayman Legends Retold, Ubisoft has officially confirmed that they have no plans to delist the original title when the new version launches on October 1, 2026.

The announcement arrived via the official Rayman X account, directly addressing community concerns that the upcoming remake might replace its predecessor on digital storefronts. Ubisoft’s confirmation ensures that both versions will coexist, allowing fans to continue playing the original iteration of the game alongside the updated release.

A New Look at Rayman Legends

Fully unveiled during a recent State of Play broadcast, Rayman Legends Retold is positioned as a comprehensive reimagining of the platformer. The game features updated visuals and promises additional levels and content not found in the original release. According to reports from industry insiders, the game is built in 2.5D, though players can expect to navigate through specific 3D sections during gameplay.

The project, which was previously known internally at Ubisoft as "Project Steambot," has generated significant interest regarding the future of the franchise. While Rayman Legends Retold focuses on revisiting established ground, there is speculation from leakers that the success of this remake could influence the development of a potential Rayman 4. Sources indicate that a fourth entry in the series is currently in the planning stages at Ubisoft and would likely utilize the same engine powering Retold.

What to Expect at Launch

Rayman Legends Retold is confirmed for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X. By maintaining the availability of the original Rayman Legends—which saw a well-received Definitive Edition release on the Nintendo Switch in 2017—Ubisoft is avoiding the common industry practice of pulling legacy titles when a modern remake arrives.

For those looking to revisit the series, the choice between the original and the new Retold version will remain entirely up to the player. With the October release date approaching, the focus now shifts to how these additional levels and visual upgrades will expand upon the foundation laid by the 2013 classic.
