Ubisoft Takes a Bold Step with Rayman!

Ubisoft has officially confirmed they are hard at work on a brand-new AAA title featuring the lovable Rayman! Recent job postings have unveiled tantalizing details about this exciting project, where developers specializing in animation and game design are being sought for what Ubisoft describes as a "prestigious AAA title for the Rayman brand."

The Future Looks Bright for Rayman Fans!

While previously there were whispers about a potential new Rayman game being merely in the "exploration phase," it seems that stage has now culminated in a full-scale development push. Rumors of a remake were swirling as far back as October 2024, but it’s clear now that Ubisoft is ready to take significant action to expand the beloved franchise.

Ubisoft had acknowledged the project’s nascent state back in the fall, stating: "We are pleased to confirm that Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan have recently started an exploration phase on the Rayman brand." With the creator Michel Ancel being consulted to maintain franchise consistency, fans can be hopeful that this new project will resonate with the series' charm.

What to Expect from the New Rayman Game?

Job listings reveal a more comprehensive vision for the new game, suggesting it will not just feature minor appearances or crossovers but rather an expansive new title within the Rayman universe. One listing seeks a 3D gameplay animator who will focus on crafting high-quality character animations that express emotional nuances and establish a unique animation style for the game.

Another role calls for a senior game designer tasked with pitching, designing, and prototyping fundamental game systems, working closely with teams to bring the game to life. Both listings transparently highlight the project’s connection to Rayman, which is a refreshing approach compared to the typical secrecy surrounding game development.

Anticipation is Building!

When asked for comments, Ubisoft didn’t shy away from confirming the game’s existence—just noting it’s still in the early development stages. With a commitment to transparency and anticipation building among fans, Ubisoft is promising to unveil more exciting details in the near future. So, stay tuned for all the updates on this thrilling new adventure with Rayman!
