'''''Rayman Legends Retold''''' is an upcoming 3D/2D action-platformer developed by [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Montpellier]] and published by [[Ubisoft]].

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" />

On June 2 several images before the state of play event were leaked. At state of play [[Ubisoft|ubisoft]] and playstation a reveal trialer has appeared. Several videos of people playing the game were also published.
