Our twenty-third Christmas together! Time flies, doesn't it? The new Rayman developments throughout this year have increased interest and activity on the forum —once again . Our little corner of the Internet is still going strong, more alive than ever, and for that we want to thank you for your support and for spending another wonderful Christmas with us. Santa is very happy to see such a festive atmosphere again

For the twenty-third time, Rayman Pirate-Community wishes you all a Merry Christmas! And please, be careful with the plum juice, don't listen to Globox and don't give in to temptation!

Maestro Media, the makers of Brawlhalla: The Card Game, have announced that Rayman will be available as a $20 add-on for the final 28 hours of their Kickstarter campaign.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Tonic Trouble are coming to the Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Classics app on December 17th, 2025 for NSO+ subscribers!

After some changes to its social media accounts, Ubisoft has made an appearance at the latest Rayman Alive! And it seems they'll be sharing some behind the scenes, concept art, dev interviews and much more for the next months. They, again, have confirmed that both Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan are working together in the franchise, although we shouldn't expect anything soon.

Another year has sailed by, and today, our beloved Pirate-Community marks its 22nd birthday! It is with great pride that we celebrate so many years of shared passion and amazing work dedicated to our favourite limbless hero.

The past year has been particularly thrilling for Rayman fans, bringing a fresh wave of hope and excitement for the future of the series. The most significant news comes directly from Ubisoft, who confirmed they have initiated an "exploration phase on the Rayman brand": likely a new game in the works! This long-awaited development has rekindled the flame, igniting discussions and dreams of new adventures to come. With the hero's 30th anniversary on the horizon for next September, anticipation for what Ubisoft has in store is at an all-time high. Meanwhile, FLYOS successfully completed the development of Rayman: The Board Game following its fantastic Kickstarter campaign, and the game is now officially in production, promising tabletop fun for us all by the end of the year.

The excitement doesn't stop with official news. On the research front, our dedicated community has once again unearthed a treasure: a beta build of Rayman 2! This fascinating discovery offers a unique glimpse into the game's development, featuring several differences from the final version, such as the presence of the telescopic fist, an early interface and different controls.

While this year may have been quieter on the fanworks front, the creative flame is far from extinguished. The upcoming third edition of Rayman Alive, scheduled for September 1st, is set to showcase inspiring progress on a variety of ongoing projects. Meanwhile, Rayfanpedia, the go-to place to document them all, is seeing healthy growth.

This spirited activity is best reflected in our community's amazing numbers. Our forums saw an impressive 43,706 new messages posted this past year, bringing the grand total to 1,438,302. This figure is nearly double last year's growth and marks our most active year since 2018—a powerful testament to the community's vitality in an era where many forums are simply being shut down. Our lively discussions extend to our Discord server as well, which now boasts over 1,000 members. Meanwhile, RayWiki remains the ultimate treasure trove of Rayman lore, with 336 new articles created, bringing the total to an impressive 6,618 across 8 languages.

As we celebrate 22 years, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to every single member of Pirate-Community. Your passion and dedication are the lifeblood of this amazing place. Here's to another year of announcements, discoveries, discussions, and unwavering enthusiasm for the world of Rayman.

Long live Rayman, long live Pirate-Community!

The third edition of Rayman Alive will take place on September 1st 2025 to celebrate Rayman's 30th anniversary. Be sure to book the date!

So, we've come to the end of another year. 2024 has been good for Rayman and the community, from the announcement of a Rayman-themed board game to discovery of a game that was considered lost media! Even Ubisoft is beginning some experimentation with his series! Who knows what this will bring? One thing I do know, though, is that RPC wouldn't be as big as it is without our members, and we thank you all for being a part of this wonderful community!

To start off the new year, the latest edition of the Favorite Rayman Game survey has been released! You can find it here, and you can check other results from previous years here.

Best wishes, and hope everyone has a great new year! Let's keep the party rolling!

The year is 2024 A.D. The Internet is entirely occupied by Reddit. Well not entirely! One small forum of indomitable Rayman fans still holds out against the invaders.

The Internet has changed quite a bit since 2003, but yes, this is indeed our 22nd Christmas together. We face the final stretch of a year that has been full of great news for the Rayman community, from increased activity on the forums, to receiving new content when it was least expected. We believe that the essential thing is to thank you all for having given a chance to this forum, which is kept alive thanks to the enthusiasm of many of you. Days like Record Day, in which many of you sacrifice hours of sleep, are an example of the strength you have.

That is why it fills us with great joy to wish you a Merry Christmas for the 22nd time! Here's to more Christmas celebrations together and to keep writing more chapters in our little corner of the Internet

And also, be careful with the plum juice...

Ubisoft have confirmed that they "have recently started an exploration phase on the Rayman brand".

According to various sources, the project is one of a 3D game for the Nintendo Switch and other consoles. Codenamed 'Steambot', and sometimes referred to as a remake, it is still in its early stages, and the teams at Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan are involved, with Michel Ancel acting as a consultant.
