Rayman Legends Retold also known as Rayman Legends: Retold Is a rumored rayman game leaked in late May of 2026. It is probably going to be a direct sequel to Rayman Legends. It will cost 39,99$ and rumored to release on October 1 2026 [1]. Among the expected novelties, the game would include an online multiplayer cooperative mode for up to 4 players simultaneously, a notable evolution compared to the original game, which offered this mode locally only. The game will benefit from a physical edition but it will be exclusively available on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 [2]. Regarding the official announcement, the game should be unveiled and available for pre-order no later than June 2 [3] around 10 a.m. (French time), at least a few hours before the State of Play. If this date is confirmed, it would contradict the rumors evoking a revelation at the Sony event. It is also rumored that the game will have both 2.5D mechanics and 3D sections [4]. These three-dimensional sections would be entirely new compared to the original title. It is also rumored that the 3D segments will be in the style of Star Fox where you fly on the back of a dragon and shoot enemies. A developer has confirmed that the internal project name for the game is "Steambot". However, most of the information up to June 1 (1 day before a potential announce) is not 100% confirmed.
Story
The game will feature a new real story and a new villain which is confirmed to not be Mr Dark. the villain is mention to have a hoodie figure trying to conjure an apocalyptic eclipse. He will look completely different from Mr Dark and taking orders from someone else, possilbly a bigger villain, the bigger villain sends these orders by some orb based on another leak. It is also rumored that Rayman and Globox will discover a mysterious tent filled with captivating paintings, then they can go to new mythical worlds. In an extra dimension or world the heroes will be able to fight dragons and other epic creatures. It is also rumored tey can attack from all angles. Betilla will be some sort of goddess with a totally different realistic design (not seen in either rayman 1 or Rayman Origins), she's also not going to be cartoony as seen Rayman Origins.
Worlds
One of the rumors mentions that a musical world might be featured. It is mentioned that the heroes can jump to the beat of a drum, punch to the bass line or zip-line during amazing guitar riffs, and that timing and rhythm is the key to beat thes maps set to the original musical tracks. It could be something similar to Living Dead Party but this remains a rumor. The level design will be the same just with updated 2.5D visuals.
Characters
Rayman is going to receive a minor redesign, getting two separate eyes, detailed shoes, and an adjustment to his sweater’s drawstrings. Rayman and Globox are getting new skins, including looks from Rayman 1 and Rayman 3, but also crossovers like Astrobot and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
