A double Rayman project leaked at Ubisoft, the return of the mascot takes shape



Ubisoft’s cult mascot is about to make his comeback. According to several insiders, a brand new Rayman game would be launched soon, in connection with the anniversary of the series. A remake of Rayman Legends is also in the pipeline. A double surprise which rekindles hope among early fans.

A double rumor confirmed by a reliable source

According to Tom Hendersonrecognized journalist and editor-in-chief of Insider Gaming, two Rayman games are currently in development at Ubisoft:

  • Steambot : a remake of Rayman Legends
  • Iceman : a game still mysterious but planned to be released “very very soon”

Henderson states that Iceman is linked to an important event: A significant anniversary is coming up for the game, so you can connect the dots.

A launch planned for Rayman’s birthday?

The very first Rayman was released in September 1995. If Ubisoft is preparing a special release in September 2026 to celebrate the 31 years of licenseit is likely that Iceman is a anniversary edition or a remastered compilation of the first opuses. With the growing popularity of retro games, such a collection would make sense, both for nostalgic fans and new players.

Rayman Legends: a highly anticipated return as a remake

Released in 2013, Rayman Legends is often cited as the best game in the series. A modernized remake, dubbed Steambotcould shine a light on this colorful universe, particularly among a young audience accustomed to current standards. If Ubisoft confirms this rumor, the return of Rayman Legends would be a great way to test public interest in a possible new mainline game.

A good publicity stunt for Ubisoft?

While the publisher has canceled several projects recently, including Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, returning with Rayman could be a winning strategy. The Rayman series has always remained dear to the hearts of fans. It’s time for Ubisoft to give it back the attention it deservesdeclares George Foster, journalist at TheGamer. It remains to be seen whether Ubisoft will formalize these projects in the coming weeks, but everything suggests that Rayman’s big return is imminent.
