This is also weird and in bad taste, but to be fair, later games like Adventures and Mini did reverse that and make the warrior princesses' lower area one solid color.

Barbara and Elysia don't even have that, erm, quality when they get bubblized in OG Legends, as can be seen in their sprite sheets.

I don't know if they'd bother to change the nymphs' designs if they ever do return, but this at least proves that Ubisoft can learn from their perverted practices. If they can do it once, I think they can do it again! :hap:

At least to me, Barbara looks a good deal older than 9 years. I'd personally put her and Elysia in the range of 13-15 years old. As for the tooth, as PluMGMK mentioned, that seems to have been lost in battle rather than being a milk tooth.

It's worth mentioning that the Rayman games are targeted towards all ages, including younger kids. I have a feeling that parents would have a very different opinion of the nymphs than "they're the pretty ladies" if their child saw someone like Edith Up or Annetta Fish in their funny video game. Oversexualized designs like that don't belong in a Rayman game in my eyes, but objectively speaking, they don't belong in a kid-friendly game either, hence why it and the bubblization thing mentioned above are in such bad taste in my eyes.

Re: Thoughts on the nymphs in Rayman Origins+ getting to the bottom of who actually designed them.
I mean... I like pretty girls.

I'm not too sure how I feel about this sort of discussion since, well, anyone is free to feel discomfort, dislike, hatred, or however they may feel toward the designs, so maybe some of what I have to say in the matter will sound rude or like an attack. Regardless, I personally like them just because I like how they look. I like their designs. Sure, they're sexy. I still like how they look, outside of just "wow, how sexy". I personally think that reducing each design to just "they're weird and sexy" is more demeaning than anything else. Also, the idea that the gender of the character designer behind them matters at all is kind of more disgusting than anything about the designs themselves could be, in my opinion. Not to sound rude, but... Is that to say that, morally, only women can design sexy women and only men can design sexy men? Just feels really... off.

Speaking personally as someone that was actually pretty young when Rayman Origins came out (like... 10-11 years old), I don't know if the designs are nearly as harmful or weird as everyone makes them out to be? I don't remember feeling much toward them outside of "they're the pretty ladies". I can definitely agree with them not feeling particularly "Rayman" but I also tend to feel that Rayman Origins/Legends don't particularly feel that "Rayman" to me compared to past entries (just my opinion), and whatever "canon" existed for Rayman was completely annihilated by the existence of this game, even before it was changed from literally being Rayman's origins. And yeah, the nymph designs get a ton of lewd fanart with exaggerated proportions and all, but well, this happens to almost any character in almost any media even if they have little to no curves at all (TADC, anyone?).

That isn't a bad idea if we're talking something like Legends Retold where the characters will (probably) get much more of an opportunity to show off their personalities. But I also don't really think much of characters' individual personalities are really all that shown off in Rayman Origins, anyways...? Even our titular hero becomes a lobotomised feral animal, and that became his identity for over a decade. Feels about as one-note as any other character in the game is, to me. I'm not 100% sure if Origins is the right game for this argument, but that might just be me.

Hell you could honestly make a case for the weird boob window some of the sisters have like Ursula for example, didn’t know the secret agent needed to show so much skin lol
I'm... not really sure what to make of this...?
It's one thing to feel weird about the panties thing. But 9 years old...? I always thought the whole point of Barbara was like, two things: 1. Clearly being a nod to Betilla, and 2. Clearly being... well... a barbarian...
You're free to have your interpretations but I'm not sure how anyone can look at a viking lady with (frankly, at least in OG Legends) big tits, a scratched-up helmet, and a big axe, and think that she's a 9 year old because of a missing tooth (Do Rayman characters even have ages?). Furthermore, I don't really think the potential of a random player's interpretation of a character's age would really factor into designing a character. And, even then, the whole bubblisation thing in general seems to have always been a comedic thing more than anything, even if it's very apparent through being on the internet that people indeed find other kinds of enjoyment in it. So I don't personally think much of the panties thing at all.

I'm not really looking to downplay anyone's discomfort or say that it's wrong for you to feel a certain way. I'm just explaining how I see it myself. Objectification of women has always been an important point of conversation in video game discussions but I just don't know if the funny nymphs in Rayman are really a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Yes, it's tragic. The Guillemots have done so well to maintain control of their business. It appears to have become far more difficult in recent years, and what a blow for the family for this to happen now.

< sees many people sharing sentiments of frustration with modern ubisoft (< has made several explicit rants), but < thinks they really come from a place of love. Rayman may be Ancel's brainchild, but he could NOT have been created without the Guillemot's recognition of his talent, the faith they placed in him, and < imagines he learned a lot about business from them too.

​Rest in peace, Claude.

Re: Thoughts on the nymphs in Rayman Origins+ getting to the bottom of who actually designed them.
Not to defend any of the rest of it, but I feel I should point out that's not a baby tooth: she lost a tooth in battle. Otherwise, fair points!

Re: Off Topic
Hey! I reportedly look really good too.

And the worst part is : it's not even a joke, ladies regularly tell me that. Of course the ones that do are always already taken, so by virtue of the holy rule #1 I can't do anything about it.

(But it is further proof that women are evil)

The physical version of Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition was released today.

Alongside the game for modern platforms such as the Nintendo Switch 2, this physical release includes a set of three postcards, a few stickers, a double-sided poster, and a reversible cover.

For players who held out on the digital launch due to early save-related glitches, these issues have now been resolved following the recent v1.1 update.

It's official: the rumors are now reality! Although many details leaked over the last few days, Ubisoft has formally announced both Rayman Legends Retold and Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition during tonight's State of Play presentation.

Both games are coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC on October 1, 2026! The bundle will retail at the price of $39.99, with Origins Enhanced Edition included free!

Rayman Legends Retold represents a significant modernization of the original title. It features a visual overhaul that replaces the classic watercolor look with a modern 2.5D aesthetic, alongside an entirely new storyline and a fresh villain. Other key additions include brand-new music levels, a realistic redesign for Betilla, and a minor cosmetic tweak for Rayman himself (who now has two separate eyes), along with new costumes referencing older games and other series. Most notably, the game is set to introduce fully 3D segments featuring rail-shooter gameplay, where players take to the skies on the back of a dragon to shoot down enemies.

As for Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition, running in 4K resolution at 60 FPS, this remaster updates the game for modern platforms with quality-of-life and accessibility features. It also appears to integrate the previously exclusive PlayStation Vita content, alongside updated photoboard designs and Murfy.

Following up on the teaser from a couple of days ago, Youtooz has now officially revealed the full design of the upcoming Ly the Fairy plush!

But that's not all: the manufacturer also unveiled a brand new Rayman "stickie". For those unfamiliar with the term, Youtooz "stickies" are mini plushies equipped with magnets inside, allowing them to stick to metal surfaces (like fridges or PC cases) or to each other.

You can check out the full reveal images of both the Ly plush and the Rayman stickie below:

The rumors were true! After the rating leak earlier this year, Ubisoft officially unveiled Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition during today’s State of Play. Developed in partnership with Digital Eclipse, the compilation brings together five versions of the original game: the PlayStation, MS-DOS, and Atari Jaguar releases, as well as the Game Boy Color and Advance versions. The collection also marks the first official commercial release of the 1992 SNES prototype.

In terms of extra content, the package notably features the Bible of Game Design, developer interviews, and unreleased concept art. The collection also adds modern quality-of-life features, including rewind capability, save states, and toggleable cheats (infinite lives, unlock all levels).
