Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition is an upcoming compilation and remaster of the original Rayman game, developed by Digital Eclipse in partnership with Ubisoft and Atari to commemorate the series's 30th anniversary. It is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam and Ubisoft Connect.

The title was first leaked through a rating that appeared on the Australian Classification Board on 22 January 2026.[1] Additional details listed Atari as the developer and publisher, and UI Entertainment as the applicant.

Before the official announcement, Michel Ancel hinted at the project in an interview, noting that it would feature changes intended to make the game less frustrating than the original.[2]
