Finally the return of Rayman?
According to the sources cited by Insider Gaming, this appears to be the caseA Rayman remake project is in production at Ubisoft Milan. This studio has been involved in the development of many of the French publisher’s titles in the past, but is also one of the main developers of the Just Dance series and the Mario and the Rabbids series. inside, its codename would be “Project Steambot” and Rayman’s creator Michel Ancel would be involved in the project as a consultant. As a reminder, the latter announced a week earlier that he would be leaving the video game industry, including Ubisoft, in September 2020 liberation is not publishing an investigation into its leadership, which is described as “toxic” by sources the newspaper consulted.
Still, according to Insider Gaming, Michel Ancel’s presence would have raised concerns among members of the team working on the Rayman remake, even if he only has an advisory role. On the Ubisoft site, The remake has not been made official, but a spokesperson confirmed to Kotaku Media that Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan are working.to explore the Rayman franchise“ and that “The project is currently in an early stage“. So all that remains is to wait for the official confirmation to know whether it is really a remake or not.
A complicated time for Ubisoft
This information has a special context for Ubisoft. After the disappointing sales of Star Wars Outlaws (a million copies sold according to Insider Gaming), the French publisher decided to organize a “second release” for the game, which will be the subject of numerous updates until November 21st and has just appeared on Steam . Apart from this, The company’s next flagship game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, has been delayed from November 15, 2024 to February 14, 2025 in order to refine the project. We even recently learned that the title wouldn’t be offering early access around its release. The market launch of the title is therefore being watched more closely than ever by industry players.
