Rayman Revival: Ubisoft Teases New Game with Ancel
Ubisoft has confirmed they're exploring the idea of a new Rayman game. This news comes as the team behind Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, which recently disbanded, was reportedly working on a remake. The project is in its early stages, and more details will be shared later. This potential return of Rayman has excited fans, as it's been over a decade since the last game, Rayman Legends, was released in 2013.
The Return of Rayman
Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan have started the exploration phase for a new Rayman title. The involvement of Michel Ancel, the creator of the Rayman series, adds to the anticipation. Ancel is being consulted to maintain the coherence of the Rayman universe.
Michel Ancel's Involvement
Michel Ancel left Ubisoft in 2020, intending to leave the gaming industry to open a wildlife sanctuary. Despite his departure, his consultation on this new project is crucial for fans who cherish the original Rayman games.
A Decade Since Rayman Legends
It's been over ten years since Rayman Legends hit the shelves. The series, which began in 1995, has appeared on various platforms like the Atari Jaguar, Sega Saturn, and modern consoles. A definitive edition of Rayman Legends was released in 2017, keeping the spirit of Rayman alive for fans.
Ubisoft's Current Projects
While Ubisoft is exploring new Rayman possibilities, Ubisoft Montpellier is also working on Beyond Good and Evil 2, a project announced in 2017 with little update since. Ubisoft Milan is recognized for its work on Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope.
The Future of Ubisoft
Ubisoft has faced challenges, including acquisition rumors and other issues. The company's upcoming financial results may shed light on its future direction. Despite these challenges, the potential revival of Rayman offers a glimmer of excitement for fans.
