Rayman 3D is an upcoming remake of Rayman 2: The Great Escape. It will be released on the Nintendo 3DS handheld games console, and will take advantage of the device's stereoscopic 3D capabilites.

Description

The existence of Rayman 3D was leaked several weeks in advance of its announcement by the Australian Classification Board, although they gave little information beyond the title; in the press release in which they officially announced the game, Ubisoft revealed that, like the iOS version of Rayman 2, Rayman 3D was to be based directly on the well-received Dreamcast version of Rayman 2. Four screenshots were also unveiled: they show that Rayman 3D will feature significantly reworked graphics. The improved lighting system is visible in the screenshots of the Prison Ship and the Bayou, and the new stereoscopic depth effect can be seen clearly in the screenshot of the Whale Bay. The screenshot of the Fairy Glade shows that the keg has been remodelled; presumably, other models in the game will receive the same treatment.
