October 1, 2026 retells the Glade — 3D, new story, Origins bundled
Rayman Legends Retold ships Thursday, October 1, 2026. Montpellier and Milan are rebuilding the limbless platformer for a new generation: Rayman, Globox, Barbara, Grand Minimus, and Murphy chase peace across a Glade twisted by a shadowy villain — with 3D presentation and a story Ubisoft says is freshly told, not copy-pasted from 2013.
Standard buyers also get Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition in the same purchase. Couch co-op up to four players remains part of the living-room pitch; Deluxe and Launch Editions layer costumes, art, and physical map bits for collectors.
Confirmed: Retold reimagining — not a Switch HD dump of 2013 Legends
Confirmed: Oct 1 2026, multiplat including Switch 2, new sixth realm, musical stages, dragon rides, Origins Enhanced in Standard, ~$39.99 list. Not confirmed as a full replacement that deletes every classic Legends level 1:1, or that Ubisoft+ day-one is free in every region. The separate Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition is a different nostalgia SKU.

The $40 Standard ticket also unlocks a modernized Rayman Origins
Most remake pitches sell one campaign. Retold’s Standard Edition pairs the new 3D Legends reimagining with Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition — 4K/60 targets, new collectibles, and controller haptics where the hardware allows.
That double-dip is the calendar quirk worth highlighting: October 1 is not only “Legends again,” it is Ubisoft stacking two UbiArt-era classics into one pre-order while still charging side-game money instead of a $70 prestige tag.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does Rayman Legends Retold launch?

2Is it just a remaster of Rayman Legends?
No. Ubisoft calls it a reimagining: 3D visuals, a brand-new story, fully voiced cinematics, a never-before-seen sixth realm, new musical stages, dragon rides, and refreshed Kung Foot — built on Legends’ foundation, not a resolution bump of the 2013 UbiArt cart.

The base Retold game plus Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition (4K/60 aims, new collectibles, haptics where supported). Typical list price sits near $39.99 — confirm local storefronts. Pre-orders across editions add the Hoodlum Havoc costume pack.
4Who is developing it?
Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan under Ubisoft publishing. Soundtrack work brings back Christophe Héral with Grant Kirkhope joining the expanded score.
