Rayman 2000: Difference between revisions

| genre = 3D platformer, Open world

'''''Rayman 2000''''' is a video game in the [[Rayman (series) | ''Rayman'' series]] which was ultimately canceled, for reasons unknown.

We only know of the existence of this project thanks to ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]''. In this book, we learn that at the end of 1999, after the release of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and before the start of [[Rayman 3 (early production)| development of ''Rayman 3'']], a few people worked on a project codenamed "Rayman 2000". It was a direct sequel to ''[[Rayman 2]]'', still in 3D, with towns, streets and buildings attached to trees. This universe, more urban than what [[Rayman (series) | ''Rayman'' games]] are used to portraying, was requested by [[Michel Ancel]] himself.

This scenario was eventually dropped, but some ideas were taken to create the city of [[Aeropolis]] in [[Rayman: The Animated Series|Rayman: The Animated Series]], developed and published in late 1999, as well as some scenery from [[Clearleaf Forest]] in ''[[Rayman 3]]''.

It is not known whether ''Rayman 2000'' has any connection with ''[[Rayman Adventures (cancelled game)| Rayman Adventures]]'', another [[Rayman (series) | game ''Rayman'']] canceled around the 2000s.
