Rayman remake rumor - confirmed by Ubisoft!

[RayGamer99]

Murfy looks drunk and looks like he will do unspeakable things to me, luchador's eyes are weird AND betilla what happened to you just look at the revolution, Rayman 1 and Origins were fine but now she doesn't have a green hat, her wings are weird and probably more. also why is there a cage below the toads with literally nothing or no one in it.

My thoughts exactly, RayWizard. In fact, if you want a full list of quirks and inconsistencies I noticed:

• Globox's eyes look weirdly warped.
• The top of Barbara's helmet looks too small.
• Murfy's right eye and teeth look really bad.
• The top edges of the Grand Minimus's crown don't look as pointy as before.
• The Grand Minimus has a strange-looking thing on his chest. Is it an artifact, or is that supposed to be his skin peeking out?
• What I'm assuming is Seabreather's chin has a beige underside, which he didn't have originally.
• El Luchador has a beard and a weird-looking face.
• The Armored Toad has what looks like some sort of eyeball peeking out of his left arm.
• The forest dragon doesn't look like it has eyes anymore.
• The cage has nothing and no one in it, like RayWizard mentioned.
• There is a random, non-Tricky treasure chest sitting among the Darkroots.
• The Toads just look a bit weird.
• And of course, there's the super generic-looking fairy and cloaked figure.

Sorry if it seems like I'm beating a semi-dead horse here, I just had to tell y'all about the things I noticed.

Hi yea I will follow the rules that's the least of our problems.

Uh excuse me that's the least of our problems? Confident I see, hopefully you remember them going forward!

As for all the leaks, going to be ignoring the rest of them until the official announcement comes out. No need for me join in on theorizing for the time being as I have things to do.

The Rayman Origins remaster was made public on the Xbox store early

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/ ... HH9TN3PSCG

The description mentions "Discover 60 hidden Relics across the adventure and track your progress in the Snoring Tree." so either this is an error or we are getting the PS Vita version's exclusive content.

Awesome! According to the page, the game will have 4K resolution, 60 FPS, and modern enhancements, including "new quality-of-life features." It seems the game will include the Relics (and presumably the mosaics they unlock) from the PSVita version as well. Unlike that version, there seem to be only 60 here, 31 less than in their original appearance.

A couple screenshots show off some other new stuff:

There's a golden heart here, which was previously featured in Rayman Fiesta Run to give you two extra hit points.

It looks like you'll be able to use Murfy to grab stuff, which is how I assume you'll get the Relics on consoles without touch screens.

This image has an aqua-colored heart. Not sure what that's supposed to do...

Most exciting to me, there's a new photoboard! This one depicts Mr Dark, Raymesis, and the remains of certain bosses (Bzzit's head, a segment of Mr Stone's body, and Mr Skops's claw) inside Mr Dark's palace, complete with the stained glass! I assume the boss remains were from the final boss fight from Rayman 1, which combined different boss parts to form new creations. This makes me wonder what the other new designs for the photoboards will be - and who knows, maybe they'll even bring back the Teensy photographer?

It's nice to know that among this whole Retold fiasco, at least one of this leaks are true. And best of all, as Lyndo reported earlier, it seems the game will be sold for the low price of $2,000 USD!


Edit: Good thing I was quick to gather everything from the page, because it's already been taken down! Sorry Xbox, the glute's already out of the bag!

[Mortamon Saturn]

Well, seems like the Origins prediction did come true after all!
We can finally rest well knowing this game is becoming accessible in its entire form on recent platforms after Legends hoarded all the attention for 13 years!
...Now, if only the 3D games could get more of that attention...

The description mentions "Discover 60 hidden Relics across the adventure and track your progress in the Snoring Tree." so either this is an error or we are getting the PS Vita version's exclusive content.

Dang it, so I guess those PS Vita cutscenes are now part of the definitive experience™...
Joke aside, good that they seem to have included everything, and hopefully the other improvements will be nice

Ooh, some extras from the mobile games! Nice move of them!
And we may even get custom photoboards like in Redemption, and likely more skins (possibly taken straight from the mobile entries)! I guess that, in a sense, this makes this the true first appearance of Mr Dark in Origins (which is the Mini design mixed to the R1 one, interestingly!).
Who knows, maybe this is the sign of many more extra contents to come in this edition! Regardless, it's great that they are putting more nostalgic features, making it more of a proper homage to past Raymans... Raymen?

We can finally rest well knowing this game is becoming accessible in its entire form on recent platforms after Legends hoarded all the attention for 13 years!
...Now, if only the 3D games could get more of that attention...

This made me realize something: with this upcoming enhanced edition of Origins, the 30th anniversary collection for Rayman 1, and Legends already being here (with a possible remake on the way), by the end of this year at the latest, we'll have all of Rayman's mainline 2D adventures on all modern platforms! Isn't that lovely?

The description mentions "Discover 60 hidden Relics across the adventure and track your progress in the Snoring Tree." so either this is an error or we are getting the PS Vita version's exclusive content.

Dang it, so I guess those PS Vita cutscenes are now part of the definitive experience™...

Uh oh... does this mean that Rayman's helicopter hair story and the characters within it are going to be considered canon now?

And we may even get custom photoboards like in Redemption, and likely more skins (possibly taken straight from the mobile entries)!

While Origins-styled versions of skins from Legends and the mobile games would be appreciated (especially for Rayman and Globox, who currently only have two skins each), I would love it if they brought back some of the skins that were scrapped from the original game. They don't have to bring back all of them, but I would love to play as Tarayzan, Uglette, or the Flaming Teensy's Miami Ice counterpart, for example!

I guess that, in a sense, this makes this the true first appearance of Mr Dark in Origins (which is the Mini design mixed to the R1 one, interestingly!).

I guess so! I like how he looks here, though I kind of wish we got to see his face...

Who knows, maybe this is the sign of many more extra contents to come in this edition! Regardless, it's great that they are putting more nostalgic features, making it more of a proper homage to past Raymans... Raymen?

I hope so! Between this nostalgic photoboard, the Vortex and Shock Rocket being in the Sparks of Hope DLC, the Heavy Metal Fists returning in an upgraded form in Brawlhalla, and the Retold remake of Legends, if it exists, featuring costumes based on older Rayman games, it feels good to know that Ubisoft is acknowledging the existence of games that aren't just Rayman Legends.

Though it is a little weird that Rayman 2 hasn't gotten much representation in the more modern titles... I mean, the Robo-Pirates and the Four Masks of Polokus made cameos in Rayman in the Phantom Show, and the Robo-Pirates were mentioned in Super Metal Rayman's description, but I wonder why Ubisoft is being so coy about that game in particular...?

Uh oh... does this mean that Rayman's helicopter hair story and the characters within it are going to be considered canon now?

We are now contractually obligated to rebrand once again into the Rayman Hair Creature Community!

While Origins-styled versions of skins from Legends and the mobile games would be appreciated (especially for Rayman and Globox, who currently only have two skins each), I would love it if they brought back some of the skins that were scrapped from the original game. They don't have to bring back all of them, but I would love to play as Tarayzan, Uglette, or the Flaming Teensy's Miami Ice counterpart, for example!

Yup, that would be super nice!

Who knows indeed, this may be a teaser for more things to come...

I hope so! Between this nostalgic photoboard, the Vortex and Shock Rocket being in the Sparks of Hope DLC, the Heavy Metal Fists returning in an upgraded form in Brawlhalla, and the Retold remake of Legends, if it exists, featuring costumes based on older Rayman games, it feels good to know that Ubisoft is acknowledging the existence of games that aren't just Rayman Legends.

Yeah, they seem to be on their way to making me eat my words!
But I sure hope they genuinely have some greater plans and it won't be just a cheap attempt at cashing in on nostalgia in the long run...

And yes, they sure have been too quiet regarding Rayman 2... there was even that one amazing artwork of the robo-pirates cardboard cutouts in the Sparks of Hope DLC, but they never ever actually featured it in-game if I recall correctly...
And considering how they also remade all the Rayman GBC music (which originally were directly adapted from Rayman 2) and you could hear the "Space Mama Singing in the Shower Slop" track during the brief history footage of Rayman 2 in the bonuses of 30th Anniversary Edition, I have my fears if they did secure the rights for Eric Chevalier's music for any future Rayman 2 rerelease...
Oh well, at least we got the N64 port on NSO and the GOG Preservation Program update and Ly even got her cute little merch... but it's still very important that they acknowledge this game more for Retold or future entries as it is by far the most important Rayman piece when it comes to the lore and characters, or just its overall impact on the series and the players.

Hopefully the Origins remaster has steam achievements

After they went out of their way to add them to Legends over a decade later and that they created a handful for 30th Anniversary Edition, the opposite wouldn't make sense!

Nah, the cutouts made it into the final game.

i Actually found this out before this post was posted. I saw new photos whcih included a new Ice heart and a new stone when you finish a level. The website was taken down a like 45 minutes after that. I alos made a YT video documenting the leaks and that key art if you want to chekc it out

(Edit, quoted the wrong post out of my pure, unadulterated joy)



I haven't been this excited since... God, I dont even know!!!

Origins!!! My beloved!!! The only game I've sunk more than 1000 hours in!!! The only game I've lost count off time from playing for too long!!! The only game I've pulled all nighters on!!! The only game I've ever been dedicated enough towards to try and speedrun, and actually get good at!!! The game with my absolute favorite artstyle out of any 2d, hell... Any game ever!!! My absolute 100% favorite game of all time, purely because of how much I adore it's gameplay!!! Ubisoft hasn't completely forgotten it exists!!! God, screw everything Ubisoft has done to the poor Rayman franchise, Rayman Origins has been brought back!!!

Ok I sound like a dork right now

But seriously, I might be one of the only people on this forum to find Origins to be their favorite Rayman Game (which admittedly is partially due to how I just like 2d platformers more than 3d platformers, I personally wouldn't consider it to be the best Rayman game, just my favorite... but still), so a higher quality version is very hype for me! My only real hope if that the physics stay the same, and aren't changed to Legend's physics, but thats only because I dont know the movement tech in that game very well at all. Although if they do change it, that just gives me an excuse to learn everything. Being able to do the relics for the first time also sounds like a nice time, even if it builds to nothing important. Even though this "definitive edition" really doesn't add too much, this is my Rayman 4. Im satisfied (Okay, I'll never truly be satisfied until I get like a gazillion more levels for RO)

You too, i can't believe how happy i am to discover Origins have gotten another chance to appear in modern platforms. (idk how to express it since English is STILL not my first language)

And if you didn't know It's going to have new features. On the Xbox page there was 2 new photos with an Frozen heart and a golden heart so we're getting new heart variants and a new ending stone. I publsihed them to raywiki so here they are

My thoughts exactly, RayWizard. In fact, if you want a full list of quirks and inconsistencies I noticed:

• Globox's eyes look weirdly warped.

Sorry if it seems like I'm beating a semi-dead horse here, I just had to tell y'all about the things I noticed.

I’ll say it again: these details you’ve rightly (In any case, the treasures in Legends don't have eyes) pointed out are simply the result of image enhancement using a program like Waifu2x, Remini, or who knows what else.
Try taking a small image and enlarging it with these programs: you’ll get the same artifacts you saw in this key art.

There’s nothing wrong with being skeptical, but this artwork is clearly official.
You'll see in the announcement.

[Tribelle2026]

People think the realistic looking fairy is Betilla, but I wonder if it's the Muse of the Poets.

(Unrelated but mes amis how the HELL DO YOI NAVIGATE THIS FORUM. This is new to me as someone who is just learning how to use social media outside of just Reddit twitter and Bluesky, I love seeing how passionate the fans are in this forum but it is so confusing trying to find specific topics that I want to find discourse on)

Anyways I AM HAPPY TO BE HERE YEAHHHH GLORY TO RAYMAN!!!

Welcome to this place, icesmile! You can introduce yourself here if you like.

Since you're coming from platforms like Reddit and Bluesky, traditional forums can definitely feel a bit archaic! Instead of an algorithmic feed or a timeline, everything here is organized into fixed categories and chronological threads. Your best bet is to start at the main index to browse the different sections, or use the search function at the top right to track down specific threads. We're actually working on modernizing the forum right now to make navigation much smoother, so bear with us for now, and don't hesitate to ask if you need help finding anything in the meantime!

Uh oh... does this mean that Rayman's helicopter hair story and the characters within it are going to be considered canon now?

Honestly, they should have just left that crappy PS Vita content to rot in a closet somewhere instead of dragging it into this release.

That being said, I do actually dig the new photoboards! I can't wait to see the full selection they end up putting in the game.

People think the realistic looking fairy is Betilla, but I wonder if it's the Muse of the Poets.

That would be so much better than retconning Betilla into this almost entirely new character...
