Rayman remake rumor - confirmed by Ubisoft!

[Game Ze 2]

Perhaps the earliest RL Retold message.

Ubisoft's official account on Xiaohongshu released a news about a prize winning trial activity earlier this year, which specifically mentioned platformer and multiplayer cooperation.

Do you know if the characters talk in the remake? Is there cutscenes?

Yes and Yes.

Quick Question, you mentioned earlier that the level design remains completely identical, so with all the cutscenes and stuff, all of the levels remain unchanged from the original game?

[NotNateDrake]

Any clue as to who will be doing the voices?

The layouts are exactly the same 1:1, but the graphics have been completely rebuilt from scratch. They're throwing in some brand new levels as well.

Anyway, the criticism that the shoes differ between the skin and the key art is, no offense, pretty pointless.
The Rayman 3 skin features the Rayman 3 shoes. But the original design of Rayman’s shoes in Retold is basically the same as the UbiArt version, which looks like this

So do you consider it being more of a Remake then a complete reimagining?

This is disappointing. I'm not excited about playing the exact same level layouts we've already beaten to death over the last 13 years, just with a fresh 2.5D coat of paint.

It plays exactly like a 1:1 remake, but the completely overhauled visuals and the addition of an actual story make it feel more like a reimagining.

im not sure what to think of that, the story side sounds really cool, but if its a 1:1 remake, im not sure what it will "impress" according to natethehate

Any clue as to who will be doing the voices?

Ok, now I'm excited. And do you know if there are plans on having the game dubbed to multiple languages?

[NotNateDrake]

Yes, but it's a pretty limited selection. Only about a half-dozen languages are getting full voice dubs.

Wait a minute... Really? If they actually got him to return and fully voice Rayman again for these cutscenes, that is a massive, massive win.

I still hate Generilla but this pulled me back in a little bit!

[DocLoFer]

Yes, but it's a pretty limited selection. Only about a half-dozen languages are getting full voice dubs.

Is Spanish one of them??

Yes.

That Chinese playtest listing is interesting and adds up with the Retold thing.

Any clue as to who will be doing the voices?

That is the best news to come out of this entire leak cycle.

But man, playing the exact same level layouts from 2013, just with fully voiced cutscenes spliced between them and new 3D character models... I still think it's a really weird project overall.

Yes.

THANKS

Yeah, that's a bit disappointing. I want to remain fairly optimistic because either way it may end up being a fairly different experience from the original game with the new story and the 3D segments. Maybe they improved the way the different worlds were structured because I always felt like Legends lacking the feeling of progression that Origins had with the levels and worlds being unlocked by collecting the Teensies.

Is German one of em??

You make a good point regarding the progression. Legends felt like a random gallery of disconnected paintings rather than a cohesive adventure. If the whole "Retold" angle means they are actually taking those 1:1 levels and stitching them together with a proper overworld, hub, and story cutscenes to give them some actual context, that alone would be a huge upgrade over the original.

Yeah, it could also mean tha the skins could be tied to the number of Teensies collected instead of the Lum count like in in Origins with the Electoons and maybe the Creatures could be collected without the Lucky tickets, idk, seems like a great opportunity to make the experience far more enjoyable imo.

Do you know if the bubble dreamer is still in the game?
Also, about the new costumes, are they all just skins like in the original game or they give special abilities?

[RayGamer99]

Sorry to bother you Nate, but I've had one particular question that's been nagging at me for a while. Would you happen to know if the skins from the original Legends are coming back? Even the ones that were exclusive to certain consoles (i.e. the PS3/PS4-exclusive Assassin Ray, the PSVita-exclusive Glob Cell, the Wii U/Switch-exclusive Ray and Glob Plumbers)? If not, then which ones got the axe? I know the Definitive Edition had all of the skins, but I've been wondering if they'll all come back for this one.

Thanks in advance, and sorry again for the trouble! I know you've been getting a lot of questions about this game, and I didn't really want to add to them, but this one has been on my mind for a while.
