The '''LyN''' engine is a game engine used by [[Ubisoft]] and was originally created during the development of an early version of ''[[Beyond Good and Evil 2]]'', before being cancelled and having its development restarted from scratch several years later. The '''LyN''' engine was then re-purposed for ''TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled'' and ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]''. The engine is heavily based on the [[Jade (engine)|Jade engine]].

}}

'''''Rayman Legends Retold''''' is an upcoming 2.5D/3D action-platformer co-developed by [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan]] and published by [[Ubisoft]]. Officially revealed during a Sony State of Play presentation, the game is scheduled for release on the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on October 1, 2026.<ref name="official_page">PlayStation.Blog, ''Rayman Legends Retold out October 1 on PS5'', https://blog.playstation.com/2026/06/02/rayman-legends-retold-out-october-1-on-ps5/</ref> The game will have a retail price of $39.99.

Developed using both the [[Snowdrop]] and [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] engines<ref name="ubiart" />, the game serves as a bold 3D reimagining of the original ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. Brand Art Director Guillaume Arvieu described the game's style as "a bridge between the visual richness and dramatization of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3|3]]'', and the efficiency and clarity of the side-scrolling gameplay of ''[[Rayman Legends]]''."<ref name="official_page" /> According to Brand Director Guillaume Cerda, the development team utilized Snowdrop to deliver a more expressive Rayman experience that fully takes advantage of the PS5's capabilities, while Brand Producer Loïc Gounon stated the game preserves what fans love while expanding [[Rayman]]'s lore and world logic.<ref name="official_page" />

== Story ==
The game features a revamped narrative focusing on a shadowy new villain - a small, hooded character capable of wielding dark magic - who spreads corruption through the [[Glade of Dreams]].<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard">YouTube, ''Everything I Learned About Rayman Legends Retold at Ubisoft Montpellier'', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EQxfwQPtK0</ref> The main cast - [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], the [[Grand Minimus]], and [[Murfy]] - must work together to rescue the [[Teensie]]s and save their world.<ref name="official_page" />

For the first time since ''[[Rayman 3]]'', the characters are fully voiced and participate in fully dynamic, voiced in-game cutscenes where they actively interact with one another.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" /> [[David Gasman]] returns as the voice of [[Rayman]], while [[Billy West]] reprises his role as [[Murfy]].<ref name="vnheard" />

[[Betilla]] appears in the game as a goddess-like character, boasting a highly redesigned, realistic human-like appearance rather than her cartoonish look from ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' or the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'']].<ref name="vnheard" />

== Gameplay ==
While preserving the core side-scrolling platforming mechanics of the original game, ''Rayman Legends Retold'' breaks up 2D perception by tilting the camera, bending the playground, and introducing entirely new 3D gameplay sequences.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />

Key gameplay features and additions include:
* '''[[Forest dragon|Dragon]] flights:''' Brand-new 3D rail-riding sequences that connect different regions of the worlds. These serve as a modern evolution of the [[giant mosquito]] rides in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', which featured similar gameplay - albeit in 2D - and served the same purpose of connecting worlds together. The flights also serve as callbacks to creature rides in older games, like the [[Bzzit]] flight in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] and the [[shell]] rides in ''[[Rayman 2]]''.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Reworked hub world:''' The original tent hub has been completely replaced. Each world now features its own unique, explorable 3D area containing custom visuals, hidden secrets, and small details to discover before entering levels.<ref name="vnheard" />
* '''[[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]] expansion:''' An extended version of this realm acts as a new world, containing five brand-new stages designed around a "[[Power of Light]]" mechanic.<ref name="vnheard" />
* '''[[Cave of Trials]]:''' A new mode offering ongoing free gameplay challenges to test players' skills.<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Four new musical stages:''' Along with returning music levels like [[Castle Rock]] and [[Gloo Gloo]], four completely original rhythm-based levels have been added where player actions, such as jumping and punching, must sync to the beat of the soundtrack.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Updated [[Kung Foot]]:''' The minigame returns with a larger arena, improved controls, customizable rules, and new power-ups, such as the ability to hold onto the ball and pass it to teammates.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Cooperative multiplayer:''' Like in the original game, up to four players can participate in couch co-op, allowing players to rescue [[Teensie]]s together, race for [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], or knock each other off-path to claim rewards.<ref name="official_page" />

== Visuals ==
The game's 3D engine allows for detailed background storytelling. For example, some levels showcase historical depictions of the [[Armored Toad|old Toad King]] as a slimmer, respected ruler prior to his fall from grace in ''[[Rayman Legends|Legends]]''.<ref name="vnheard" /> Level atmospheres have been heavily enhanced; the [[Castle in the Clouds]] level features strong Studio Ghibli vibes, while the [[Enchanted Forest]] features a dark, mysterious nighttime aesthetic reminiscent of [[the Fairy Council]] from ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="vnheard" />

=== Character redesigns ===
Several characters have received detailed redesigns to complement the 3D shift:<ref name="vnheard" />
* [[Rayman]]: Redesigned with two separate eyes, tied-together hoodie drawstrings, and detailed shoes.
* [[Globox]]: Features highly detailed, textured skin and visible teeth.
* [[Teensie]]s: Updated with visible teeth and larger eyes.
* [[Barbara]]: Transitioned into a fully modeled 3D character, representing her biggest visual "glow-up."
* [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]: Wears glasses and has an eccentric, hipster-like appearance. He is also accompanied by a bird companion with a similar color scheme to [[Betilla]]; it is possible that this is [[Betilla]], having taken a new form, but this is unconfirmed.
* [[Betilla]]: Given a realistic, human-like redesign.

== Worlds ==
The five main worlds from the original game return with their original level layouts intact, updated with 3D visuals and dynamic camera angles. The locations all have new names: gameplay footage shows that [[Teensies In Trouble]] has become the "Old Teensie Kingdom" and [[Toad Story]] is renamed "The Stinkbog." The launch edition's map shows the names of the remaining worlds: [[Fiesta de los Muertos]] is now the "Mystic Mesa," [[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]] has become the "Iron Shell," and [[Olympus Maximus]] is now known as "Mount Elysium."<ref name="vnheard" /> Three other locations are underlined on the map: the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]," which seems to be the "mysterious sixth realm" mentioned in some of the promotional material, "Kung Foot Island," the location of the [[Kung Foot]] minigame, and the [[Cave of Bad Dreams]], a location from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' which has not yet been shown in any capacity.

== Soundtrack ==
The game's soundtrack has been expanded with 55 minutes of brand-new music.<ref name="vnheard" /> Original composer [[Christophe Héral]] returned to compose the score alongside Grant Kirkhope, famous for his musical work on the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Mario + Rabbids'' series.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />

== Game editions ==
''Rayman Legends Retold'' is available for pre-order in three distinct editions:<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Standard Edition:''' Includes the base game and a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'' (supporting 4K resolution, 60 FPS, controller haptic feedback, and modern quality-of-life upgrades).
* '''Deluxe Edition:''' Includes the base game, a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'', an in-game Art Gallery, and the Retro Pack (containing 4 costumes for [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], and [[Grand Minimus]] inspired by [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]).
* '''Launch Edition:''' Includes a physical copy of the base game, a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'', a printed map of the [[Glade of Dreams]], three lithographs, and a slipcase.

A Deluxe Upgrade Pack, containing the extra content in the Deluxe Edition, will also be made available. Pre-ordering any edition of the game awards the '''Hoodlum Havoc Pack''', which grants the player two costumes for [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] inspired by ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="official_page" />

== Reception ==
=== Reveal ===
''Retold'' received mixed to positive reactions upon being revealed, with criticism towards the decision to remake ''Legends'' after the franchise's near decade-long hiatus rather than making a brand new game or remaking an older game like ''[[Rayman 2]]'' or ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Some of the character redesigns were met with positivity, such as [[Barbara]]'s design in her first appearance in a 3D-style ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' game, while others have received criticism, most notably Rayman's separate eyes and [[Betilla]]'s more realistic, human-like design.

In contrast to the criticism, the visual quality, voice acting, cutscenes, new content and gameplay have received praise, with many expressing gratitude for [[Rayman]] still being relevant at [[Ubisoft]].

== Future ==
When asked why Ubisoft decided to remake ''Rayman Legends'', Rayman Brand Producer Loïc Gounon responded that they hoped the remake would “be the foundation for the future” of Rayman as an ongoing series.<ref>https://www.nintendolife.com/previews/hands-on-rayman-legends-retold-somehow-legends-returned-but-why</ref>

{{Quote|text=We think it might be the time to come back with more adventurous 3D Rayman games. We are starting with that project, that's what we are aiming for, in a way, and what we want for Rayman, and we think it's a good match, both for the players and the market. [...] We are setting up a new team. We're resetting the foundation for the franchise. That's why also being – even though we are a bit more than a remake – being partially a remake, there are some solid grounds where we felt it was a good way to bring back the franchise.|sign=Loïc Gounon|source=Gamesradar<ref>https://www.gamesradar.com/games/rayman/ubisoft-is-planning-a-new-more-adventurous-3d-rayman-game-but-only-if-everything-goes-well-with-its-rayman-legends-retold-remake/</ref>}}

''TheGamer'', citing a leaker who had revealed the remake before its official announcement, reported that development of ''Rayman 4'' would depend on how well <nowiki>''Rayman Legends Retold''</nowiki> performs financially.<ref>https://www.thegamer.com/rayman-4-reportedly-depends-on-legends-retold-sales-success/</ref>

UbiArt Framework

2026-06-21T01:01:40Z

Droolie: Rayman Legends Retold uses both Snowdrop and UbiArt.

[[File:Ubiart Logo.png|thumb|150px|The logo for the UbiArt engine]]

'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a 2D game engine used by [[Ubisoft]] and created to make it easier for artists to implement their graphics and animations into a game.

== History ==
The engine was originally developed for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and was originally planned to be open-source and available to the public. However as the project grew in complexity it was decided against it and the engine remained closed source.

In an interview with IGN in April 2019<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ewXj4RO5A&feature=youtu.be&t=2650</ref> Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot explains why the framework isn't being used as much anymore, stating the "tools were difficult to use". He however goes on by saying that “It’s still there, and you will see other things using it, but it’s not as predominant as it used to be”. Since 2022, the engine was fully abandoned and used only for ports.

The UbiArt framework resurfaced in 2026 when it was used for ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]''. Although the game uses Snowdrop for its 3D graphics, this is only an enhancement layer – underneath, the game still runs on UbiArt. Even new levels were built with the original UbiArt framework first and then enhanced using Snowdrop.<ref>[[Rayman Pirate-Community]] discussion forums, ''Rayman Legends Retold'', https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1555965#p1555965</ref>

== Common formats ==
=== Archives (.ipk) ===
The majority of the UbiArt games use IPK files to store all related game files. This format is a custom archive file where multiple files can be packed, maintaining their original directory structure. Files can be compressed, which is usually only the case for larger textures. The majority of the games use zlib compression while later games use LZMA.

=== Actors (.act) ===
Actors are objects that behaves in a certain way. They can behave on their own or react to events. Common actors are playable characters and enemies.

=== Friezes ===
Friezes are static scenery objects, such as level environments.

=== Scenes (.isc) ===
Scenes are a collection of actors and friezes, usually some sort of game map. These can be game levels, menus etc.

* '''[[Cave of Trials]]:''' A new mode offering ongoing free gameplay challenges to test players' skills.<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Four new musical stages:''' Along with returning music levels like [[Castle Rock]] and [[Gloo Gloo]], four completely original rhythm-based levels have been added where player actions, such as jumping and punching, must sync to the beat of the soundtrack.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Updated [[Kung Foot]]:''' The minigame returns with a larger arena, improved controls, customizable rules, and new power-ups, such as the ability to hold onto the ball and pass it to teammates.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />
* '''Cooperative multiplayer:''' Like in the original game, up to four players can participate in couch co-op, allowing players to rescue [[Teensie]]s together, race for [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]], or knock each other off-path to claim rewards.<ref name="official_page" />

== Visuals ==
The game's 3D engine allows for detailed background storytelling. For example, some levels showcase historical depictions of the [[Armored Toad|old Toad King]] as a slimmer, respected ruler prior to his fall from grace in ''[[Rayman Legends|Legends]]''.<ref name="vnheard" /> Level atmospheres have been heavily enhanced; the [[Castle in the Clouds]] level features strong Studio Ghibli vibes, while the [[Enchanted Forest]] features a dark, mysterious nighttime aesthetic reminiscent of [[the Fairy Council]] from ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="vnheard" />

=== Character redesigns ===
Several characters have received detailed redesigns to complement the 3D shift:<ref name="vnheard" />
* [[Rayman]]: Redesigned with two separate eyes, tied-together hoodie drawstrings, and detailed shoes.
* [[Globox]]: Features highly detailed, textured skin and visible teeth.
* [[Teensie]]s: Updated with visible teeth and larger eyes.
* [[Barbara]]: Transitioned into a fully modeled 3D character, representing her biggest visual "glow-up."
* [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]: Wears glasses and has an eccentric, hipster-like appearance. He is also accompanied by a bird companion with a similar color scheme to [[Betilla]]; it is possible that this is [[Betilla]], having taken a new form, but this is unconfirmed.
* [[Betilla]]: Given a realistic, human-like redesign.

== Worlds ==
The five main worlds from the original game return with their original level layouts intact, updated with 3D visuals and dynamic camera angles. The locations all have new names: gameplay footage shows that [[Teensies In Trouble]] has become the "Old Teensie Kingdom" and [[Toad Story]] is renamed "The Stinkbog." The launch edition's map shows the names of the remaining worlds: [[Fiesta de los Muertos]] is now the "Mystic Mesa," [[20,000 Lums Under the Sea]] has become the "Iron Shell," and [[Olympus Maximus]] is now known as "Mount Elysium."<ref name="vnheard" /> Three other locations are underlined on the map: the [[Land of the Livid Dead (UbiArt games)|Land of the Livid Dead]]," which seems to be the "mysterious sixth realm" mentioned in some of the promotional material, "Kung Foot Island," the location of the [[Kung Foot]] minigame, and the [[Cave of Bad Dreams]], a location from ''[[Rayman 2]]'' which has not yet been shown in any capacity.

== Soundtrack ==
The game's soundtrack has been expanded with 55 minutes of brand-new music.<ref name="vnheard" /> Original composer [[Christophe Héral]] returned to compose the score alongside Grant Kirkhope, famous for his musical work on the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Mario + Rabbids'' series.<ref name="official_page" /><ref name="vnheard" />

== Game editions ==
''Rayman Legends Retold'' is available for pre-order in three distinct editions:<ref name="official_page" />
* '''Standard Edition:''' Includes the base game and a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'' (supporting 4K resolution, 60 FPS, controller haptic feedback, and modern quality-of-life upgrades).
* '''Deluxe Edition:''' Includes the base game, a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'', an in-game Art Gallery, and the Retro Pack (containing 4 costumes for [[Rayman]], [[Globox]], [[Barbara]], and [[Grand Minimus]] inspired by [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]).
* '''Launch Edition:''' Includes a physical copy of the base game, a digital copy of ''[[Rayman Origins#Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition|Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition]]'', a printed map of the [[Glade of Dreams]], three lithographs, and a slipcase.

A Deluxe Upgrade Pack, containing the extra content in the Deluxe Edition, will also be made available. Pre-ordering any edition of the game awards the '''Hoodlum Havoc Pack''', which grants the player two costumes for [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] inspired by ''[[Rayman 3]]''.<ref name="official_page" />

== Reception ==
=== Reveal ===
''Retold'' received mixed to positive reactions upon being revealed, with criticism towards the decision to remake ''Legends'' after the franchise's near decade-long hiatus rather than making a brand new game or remaking an older game like ''[[Rayman 2]]'' or ''[[Rayman 3]]''. Some of the character redesigns were met with positivity, such as [[Barbara]]'s design in her first appearance in a 3D-style ''[[Rayman (series)|Rayman]]'' game, while others have received criticism, most notably Rayman's separate eyes and [[Betilla]]'s more realistic, human-like design.

In contrast to the criticism, the visual quality, voice acting, cutscenes, new content and gameplay have received praise, with many expressing gratitude for [[Rayman]] still being relevant at [[Ubisoft]].

== Future ==
When asked why Ubisoft decided to remake ''Rayman Legends'', Rayman Brand Producer Loïc Gounon responded that they hoped the remake would “be the foundation for the future” of Rayman as an ongoing series.<ref>https://www.nintendolife.com/previews/hands-on-rayman-legends-retold-somehow-legends-returned-but-why</ref> A leaker who revealed the remake before the official announcement stated that development on "''Rayman 4''" (which was alluded to as a joke in ''[[Rayman 3]]'') will depend on how well ''Rayman Legends Retold'' performs financially.<ref>https://www.thegamer.com/rayman-4-reportedly-depends-on-legends-retold-sales-success/</ref>

This statement was met with criticism, with many citing it as an unfair business practice and putting the fate of the franchise solely on the fans, especially with [[Ubisoft]]'s past unrealistic expectations when it comes to sales.{{Citation needed}}

[[File:Ubiart Logo.png|thumb|150px|The logo for the UbiArt engine]]

'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a 2D game engine used by [[Ubisoft]] and created to make it easier for artists to implement their graphics and animations into a game.

== History ==
The engine was originally developed for ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' and was originally planned to be open-source and available to the public. However as the project grew in complexity it was decided against it and the engine remained closed source.

In an interview with IGN in April 2019<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ewXj4RO5A&feature=youtu.be&t=2650</ref> Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot explains why the framework isn't being used as much anymore, stating the "tools were difficult to use". He however goes on by saying that “It’s still there, and you will see other things using it, but it’s not as predominant as it used to be”. As of 2020 the engine is only being used for ''Just Dance'', mobile games and ports.

== Common formats ==
=== Archives (.ipk) ===
The majority of the UbiArt games use IPK files to store all related game files. This format is a custom archive file where multiple files can be packed, maintaining their original directory structure. Files can be compressed, which is usually only the case for larger textures. The majority of the games use zlib compression while later games use LZMA.

=== Actors (.act) ===
Actors are objects that behaves in a certain way. They can behave on their own or react to events. Common actors are playable characters and enemies.

=== Friezes ===
Friezes are static scenery objects, such as level environments.

=== Scenes (.isc) ===
Scenes are a collection of actors and friezes, usually some sort of game map. These can be game levels, menus etc.

Droolie: None of the racing games use CPA/OpenSpace - only a part of its sound code. The referenced press release mentions specialized racing game engines that these likely used instead.

The '''OpenSpace''' engine is a game engine used by [[Ubisoft]] for various games.

== History ==
The engine was originally known as CPA/ACP (central programming architecture) during the development of ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' and ''[[Rayman 2]]''. The name OpenSpace wasn't used until later games and was first officially seen in a press release.<ref>''Ubi Soft financial report 2000/2001'', https://staticctf.akamaized.net/8aefmxkxpxwl/5K7FugbzH4uVhcxZzipVuZ/de8386b6026349cece4a659f5d08d793/Financial_report_2000-2001_UK.pdf</ref>
