Rumor: Rayman Legends Retold to be announced by June 2
Rumors are swirling that Ubisoft is gearing up to unveil Rayman Legends Retold, a remake of the acclaimed platformer, with pre-orders reportedly going live no later than June 2 at around 1:00 a.m. PT / 4:00 a.m. ET. The claim comes from reliable leaker Billbil-kun, who has a strong track record with early retail and announcement intel.
What’s reportedly in the package
- Developer: Ubisoft Montpellier
- Mode: Online co-op multiplayer for up to four players
- Release date: October 1
- Physical editions: PlayStation 5 and the so-called “Switch 2”
- Price: $39.99 (USD)
Billbil-kun’s timeline lines up with a recent report from Insider Gaming, which also pegs the launch for October 1. Physical versions are said to be planned for PS5 and Nintendo’s next-generation Switch hardware, with a mid-range price point that suggests a substantial refresh rather than a simple up-res.
Visual tweaks and new skins
Beyond the release specifics, N1-UP claims the hero himself is getting a light redesign: Rayman will reportedly sport two separate eyes (rather than a single, unified eye style), added detail on his shoes, and sweater drawstrings that are now visibly tied. The remake is also expected to introduce a suite of new skins.
These cosmetics will allegedly include callbacks to classic Rayman looks and crossovers featuring characters like Astro Bot and references to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. If accurate, the additions could help the remake appeal both to longtime fans and newcomers discovering the franchise through contemporary crossovers.
Announcement timing: a small clash
There’s a bit of friction around the reveal window. Notable leaker NatetheHate has suggested Rayman Legends Retold will be announced during a State of Play broadcast on June 2. However, Billbil-kun’s “no later than” pre-order timing—early in the morning on June 2 in North America—could imply a stealth drop or global rollout ahead of the show’s airtime, depending on the region. It’s also possible that listings go live first, with an official trailer landing during the showcase.
Early breadcrumbs
Before these reports, the Twitter account @intercelluar surfaced what appeared to be a logo for Rayman Legends Retold. The same account has since shared another logo for a “Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition,” hinting that Ubisoft may be preparing a broader push around the franchise.
Why this remake makes sense
Rayman Legends remains one of the most celebrated platformers of the last decade, prized for its precision controls, inventive level design, and musical stages. A remake with modern online functionality, a visual pass, and fresh cosmetics would bring a fan favorite to current systems while potentially introducing it to a wider audience—especially if Nintendo’s next console launches in the same window.
The bottom line
Until Ubisoft confirms the details, treat all of the above as rumor. But with multiple reputable sources converging on an October 1 release and pre-orders likely opening by June 2, an official reveal appears imminent. We’ll update as soon as announcements drop—or if the timeline shifts.
