In [[the Snoring Tree]] all of the [[Teensie]] characters have been removed as playable characters. Because of this, unlock criterions were changed, such as [[Raybox]] now requiring 50 [[Electoon]]s instead of 5.

In a leak for a potential new game called "''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]''", it was revealed that another game was possibly planned to be announced with ''Rayman Legends Retold'' called "Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition". According to a leak, it will be released on next-gen consoles based on a leak from a developer. On May 29th 2026, the game was shown on Xbox's store page with a placeholder price of $2000. The page was removed around 45 minutes afterwards, but it was complete with the game's box art, a description of the game, and a series of screenshots, some of which showed off new features. The description states that the game will feature 4K visuals, run at 60 frames per second, and feature new quality-of-life features, including 60 [[relic]]s to collect, a feature that was once exclusive to the PlayStation Vita version of that game. Notably, the PSVita version featured 31 more relics than the amount that the description states that the game will feature. Two of the images feature new [[heart]] variants: one is a golden heart similar to the one featured in ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', and another is a heart made out of ice. Another screenshot features [[Murfy]] as a controllable helper similar to his appearance in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', and yet another features a new [[Photographer#The photoboards|photoboard]] design featuring [[Mr Dark]], [[Raymesis]], and scenery based on the [[Mr Dark's Dare|final boss fight]] in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]].

An enhanced edition of ''Rayman Origins'' is set to release on October 1, 2026. The game is set to feature improved textures that support 4K resolution, 60 FPS gameplay, and a number of new features. The game will be included with any edition of ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' for free, but it will also be made available as a standalone purchase.

The enhanced edition will feature 60 [[relic]]s and two mosaics, collectibles that were originally exclusive to the PlayStation Vita version of ''Rayman Origins''. There will also be 39 [[List of achievements and trophies in Rayman Origins|achievements]] across all platforms, including 10 new Ubisoft Connect ones, 18 new skins and 50 brand new [[The Photographer#The photoboards|photoboards]].
 
The game will feature new quality-of-life features, such as the ability to skip cutscenes and speed up the end-of-level sequence, a running toggle, control remapping, and vibration and haptics that vary depending on the character that the player uses.
 
The enhanced edition will also feature new accessibility options to make the game easier. Upon completing a level, [[Murfy]] will be made available to point out any remaining collectibles with a sound cue, making it easier for players to find anything they missed. Two new [[heart]]s are also being added: a gold heart, which returns from ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'' and protects the player from two hits, and a diamond heart that defends them from infinite damage. A new Fairy Blessing can also be activated, granting the heroes free flight and the ability to damage enemies as they move through them, thus making them nearly invincible.
 
Finally, [[the Snoring Tree]] will be expanded to feature over 70 pieces of concept art that are unlocked by collecting [[Lum Medal]]s and a dedicated area for the heroes to browse through and take pictures with the [[The Photographer#The photoboards|standee]]s that they have unlocked.
 
Like with ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'', the game was leaked prior to its official reveal. On May 29, 2026, the game briefly appeared on the Xbox Store with a placeholder price of $2,000.<ref>Xbox.com (via archive.org), ''Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition'', https://web.archive.org/web/20260529211101/https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/rayman-origins-enhanced-edition/9PHH9TN3PSCG/</ref> Although the page was taken down approximately 45 minutes later, it featured the game's official box art, a product description, and several screenshots showcasing new content.

Reviewers praised ''Rayman Origins'' for its vibrant and detailed cartoon graphics, as well as its fittingly whimsical soundtrack. The gameplay was considered well-balanced, offering both an accessible experience for new players and a satisfying challenge for experienced ones. The decision to add co-operative multiplayer to the series was well-received. Criticism focused on the lack of a clear storyline in the game, and the chaotic nature of the gameplay when three or four people are playing simultaneously.
