Rayman continuation, any news?

Post by Micro$oftPaint »

During the development of Rayman Origins, Michel Ancel confirmed in an interview that a new 3D Rayman platform game was planned. In another interview which took place in December 2011, Ancel reiterated this, and hinted that the new game may be based on the Rayman 4 prototype that was cancelled in 2006.[3] It is not clear whether the game will still feature the Rabbids, despite the lengths the developers have gone to in order to separate the two series, or if the game will be reworked to feature different enemies.
That was from this wiki page : https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Rayman_Rav ... prototype) but i was just wondering if there was news about this? I mean it's been 4 years now, is Michel too busy with WiLd and BG&E2 currently? Thanks guys. Sorry for making a post about it but i thought it was worthy to be posted.

They were working on a 3D Rayman game after they just finished development on Rayman Legends/a bit after Rayman Legends was just released. But the project ended up being cancelled.

Wow, I can't believe I have never heard about this before! Where and when was this first mentioned? And is there more info regarding this cancelled game?

1) This info came from the History of Rayman book.
2) There is no more info on this.

Due to crappy decisions from Ubisoft, Rayman 4 has been canceled again.

I would've at least liked to see some concept art or basic information about what the game would've been. I'm picturing the CGI trailer for Rayman Legends, and that's not exactly a good thing.

They already had a playable open world prototype, according to what is said in the book.

Okay, I knew about the cancelled game after RL, but this information is new. I really would love to see pictures of the prototype, but I guess it never will happen.

I think he's talking about Rayman 2000 which was a scrapped open world game. I would love to see some concepts/Screenshots of it.

Mhh, sounds strange, but wasn't the scrapped Rayman 2000 in the Rayman 3 chapter of the book?
I found long time ago someone who worked on Rayman 3. Since Rayman 2000 was scrapped and possibly meant to be the Rayman 3 we know today, could this picture I found long time ago, be from Rayman 2000?

Image

Just wondering? I know it said Rayman 3, but it could be actually from the scrapped 2000 game which later was Rayman 3. What do you think?

I don't think Rayman 2000 was an open world, I remember reading somewhere that it was a sequel to Rayman 2, and that would make sense with what the R3 dev said: they took Rayman 2 engine and kept making it better and better. :P
And the image is probably from Rayman 2000 project since dev started on 2000/2001
But I need to ask the dev once he logs in :p

Glad I am not the only one who read, that Rayman 2000 was meant to be a sequel to Rayman 2. I think, I've read that fact here before.

I've wanted to ask if that is true. Glad it is true now! Anyway, can someone who speaks French and has the book tell us more about Rayman 2000? I once translated it in Google translater and it was worse.

If someone could send me a photo of Rayman 2000 mentions I could translate it, but I dunno if it's legal

I'll try to, problem is that he's on vacation I think (he said he'll be on vacation and he had to work a lot before the studio closes for vacation), so I'll wait him to get back on his skype account to ask him :p

Nope I'm talking about the 3D Rayman game cancelled in 2013.
