== Beta ==
In October 2024 a beta version of the game was dumped. It had originally been given out as part of a contest held by certain gaming magazines in Italy in order to gather feedback for the game.

The beta contains two levels, titled "Morbide P" and "Mapkit Foret". These can only be selected from the launcher when starting the game and neither level has a proper ending. The game contains many notable differences from the final version, such as the ability for [[Rayman]] to throw his [[telescopic fist]].
