Ubisoft has released the official trailer for Rayman Legends Retold, which is a complete reissue of the famous platformer originally released in 2013. The trailer showcases both classic levels and new elements that highlight the extensive improvements to the project.
New features and content
In addition to the familiar colorful locations, the remake will introduce a mysterious new world that opens up additional gameplay areas. The developers announced four new musical runs, one of which is dedicated to the popular dance 'Macarena'. Special attention will be given to a new type of gameplay — dragon flights, allowing players to explore levels from above.
Game modes
Rayman Legends Retold will retain the single-player mode and offer local co-op for four players, making it appealing for family and friends' gatherings. The competitive mini-game 'Kung-Foot' returns, now with improved controls, the ability to use power-ups, and expanded rule settings.
The visual and audio parts have also undergone significant changes: all cinematics are voiced, and the soundtrack has been enriched with new compositions by Christophe Heral and Grant Kirkhope, known for their work in the series.
Release date and platforms
The official release is scheduled for December 3, 2024. The game will be available on personal computers via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Store, as well as on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The Legends package will include a version of Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, and Russian subtitles are provided for all localizations.
Rayman Legends initially received high praise for its original level design and dynamic music. The reboot aims to attract a new audience while also satisfying the nostalgic expectations of players familiar with the first version.
The initial reaction in the gaming community notes interest in the new world and dragon flights; however, some users remind that the game remains focused on family and children's content, which may not align with the tastes of more 'hardcore' players.
