Developed using the [[Snowdrop]] engine, 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" />

{{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>}}


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}}
