'''''Rayman Revolution''''', known in ~~the United States~~ as '''''Rayman 2: Revolution''''', is an updated remake of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' made specially as a launch title for the Sony PlayStation 2 in 2000. It was later re-released as a PlayStation 2 classic on the PlayStation 3 in North America. Several changes have been made for this version, notably the upgraded graphics, the inclusion of new areas, bosses and mini-games. Its difficulty was made slightly higher than that of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Several levels underwent some minor changes, such as [[the Precipice]] and [[the Echoing Caves]]. Most changes are however only cosmetic.

{{Quote|text=Darkness has befallen [[the Fairy Council]]. An invasion force of [[Robo-Pirate]]s is scourging the planet on a mission of destruction. In desperation, rag-tag resistance groups engage the metallic monsters, hopelessly outmatched and outnumbered.

Meanwhile, at the rim of [[The Great Forest]], [[Rayman]] and his companion [[Globox]] lie hidden in ambush...

Crouching in a thicket, they hear the rising din of clanging steel. "Steady yourself," [[Rayman]] whispers. Suddenly, the ground beneath them shatters as a wave of [[Robo-Pirate]]s rumbles out from the brush. [[Rayman]] explodes into them, felling pirates with a volley of [[Magic fist|energy spheres]]. Trembling, [[Globox]] musters a [[Rain Dance|rain cloud]] and reduces one robot to a rusted heap. Then a horrible vision - the pained face of [[Ly]] - appears before [[Rayman]].

"[[Rayman]]," she gasps, "the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] have broken the [[Heart of the World|heart of the world]] and scattered all the energy - they seized everyone but [[Clark]]--"

The crushing grasp of a giant robot shocks [[Rayman]] out of the vision. Overtaken by the deathly embrace, his powers have withered with the destruction of the [[Heart of the World|Primordial Core]].

"Run, [[Globox]]!" he screams. [[Globox]] scampers away into the high grass, terrified. Rayman winces as a throaty laugh thunders from above. It's [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]]. "You belong to [[Razorbeard|me]] now, [[Rayman|slave]]." Writhing in the robots' pincers, [[Rayman]] utters, "Gloat now, if you must. You can't hold me forever."|sign=Manual (US version)|source=''Rayman 2 Revolution''}}

As revealed in issue 275 of the Retro Gamer magazine, ''Rayman Revolution'' was originally being developed as a whole new Rayman game at [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Annecy]] before [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Paris]] put them in charge of an enhanced version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. This is speculated to have been the canceled [[Rayman Adventures (cancelled game)|Rayman Adventures]] project, for which a video trailer was made available by a former developer at [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Annecy]].
