We at NerdLeaks are tracking fresh claims that Ubisoft is preparing a two-pronged revival of its Rayman platformers — a remaster of Rayman Origins and a larger remake of Rayman Legends — based on a cluster of listings and reports that briefly surfaced online.
What Was Reported
Per VGC, an Xbox Store listing briefly appeared for a title called Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, which was said to be a remaster of Rayman Origins. That pulled listing allegedly promoted 4K / 60fps visuals and "modern quality-of-life improvements," and claimed inclusion of content that was previously exclusive to the PS Vita version.
Social media archives of the listing were shared by users and a tweet from Wario64 flagged the listing as being for Xbox Series X|S, noting a placeholder $1,999.99 price and showing screenshots and the brief info text referencing 4K, 60 FPS, and QoL features.
Separately, Dealabs is reported to have claimed that a remake called Rayman Legends Retold is in development at Ubisoft Montpellier, with an October release planned. Among the features claimed by Dealabs is an online multiplayer cooperative mode for up to 4 players simultaneously — a change from the original game's offline-only multiplayer. Dealabs also suggests a physical edition for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2, and says the remake could be revealed during the week’s PlayStation State of Play on June 2.
VGC also notes that this pair of reports would follow a recent string of Rayman activity, including a collection of retro games from Digital Eclipse that celebrated the franchise’s 30th anniversary in February. The revival chatter even includes a mention that last year the Mario + Rabbids studio Ubisoft Milan was reportedly staffing up for a "AAA" Rayman project, per archived job ads spotted by users.
The Source & Credibility
Take this with a pinch of salt. The most concrete breadcrumb here was a pulled Xbox Store listing that was archived by social media users; pulled listings can be genuine pre-launch errors or placeholders, but they can also be erroneous. The presence of a placeholder $1,999.99 price in the listing is eye-catching and suggests a temporary storefront entry rather than a finalized price — a common occurrence with early store data leaks.
Other claims come via Dealabs, which has shared specifics about a purported remake from Ubisoft Montpellier, including the October timing and a new online co-op mode. Dealabs’ reporting is described in VGC’s coverage, but neither Dealabs nor the Xbox listing has been confirmed by Ubisoft. The historical note about Ubisoft Milan staffing up comes from archived job adverts that were removed and archived by Reddit users; that kind of evidence can indicate development intent, but it’s not the same as an official announcement.
In short: there are multiple signals — a pulled store listing, social media screenshots, and a Dealabs claim — but none of these elements are official confirmations from Ubisoft at this time. They are credible leads worth watching, but they remain unverified.
What It Could Mean
If true, the pair of projects would represent a fairly comprehensive revival strategy: a modern remaster to bring Rayman Origins to current platforms with visual and quality-of-life updates, and a larger remake for Rayman Legends that could add online multiplayer and physical editions. An online cooperative mode for up to 4 players would be a notable change for Rayman Legends, which originally featured offline-only multiplayer.
- Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition would, if accurate, modernise visuals and fold in previously platform-limited content.
- Rayman Legends Retold could expand the game's social reach with online co-op and new physical releases for current consoles, per Dealabs.
- The mention of archival job ads tied to Ubisoft Milan hints at longer-term ambitions for the franchise beyond these two projects, if those listings reflected real hiring needs.
All of this, however, hinges on official confirmation. Store listings can be pulled, placeholder text can be replaced, and unverified reports can be wrong — so interpret these claims cautiously.
Why This Matters
For fans of the series, these reports — if they bear out — could mark a meaningful push by Ubisoft to bring Rayman back into the contemporary gaming conversation. The franchise recently passed its 30th anniversary, and a pair of remasters/remakes would build on the recent retro collection mentioned in VGC’s reporting.
We’re excited but skeptical: the signals are intriguing, from a pulled Xbox Store listing to Dealabs’ specifics and archived job ads, but they stop short of an official reveal. Per Dealabs, a reveal could align with the PlayStation State of Play on June 2, so we’ll be watching that showcase closely. Until Ubisoft speaks, treat these claims as promising rumours rather than confirmed products.
