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" />

* '''Reworked hub world:''' Alongside the Tree of Tranquility reprising its role as the main hub, 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" />

{{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>}}
