Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition is a 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. Its digital edition is scheduled for release on February 13 2026, on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam and Ubisoft Connect, and a physical version containing postcards, stickers and a poster is set to release in June 2026.
Announcement
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]
The game was officially announced during Sony's State of Play on 12 February 2026, confirming the involvement of Digital Eclipse, a studio known for its archival compilations and purchased by Atari in 2023.
Content
The compilation includes five emulated versions of the original game:
- Rayman (original PlayStation version, 1995)
- Rayman (Atari Jaguar version, 1995)
- Rayman (MS-DOS version, 1995)
- Rayman (Game Boy Color version, 2000)
- Rayman Advance (Game Boy Advance version, 2001)
For the first time officially, the collection also includes the unreleased Super Nintendo prototype version of the game from 1992.
Additional levels
The collection includes the expansion packs originally released for the PC version of the game:
- 24 levels from Rayman Designer, referred to in-game as "Rayman's New Levels."
- 40 levels from Rayman By His Fans.
- 60 levels from Rayman 60 Levels.
Features
The game includes additional content such as over 50 minutes of interviews with the original developers, a gallery of concept art and the previously unreleased Bible of Game Design. The game will also feature a reimagined soundtrack by Christophe Héral, the composer for the UbiArt Rayman games.
Quality of life
The game includes a 60-second rewind feature and multiple save slots. Additionally, a menu allows players to toggle several cheats, though activating some of them disables achievements:
Physical version
