Rayman is making a comeback, according to a new video message from brand producer Loic Gounon. Ubisoft Montpellier and Milan are “working together” on the future of the IP, and though you shouldn’t “expect news from us too soon,” Gounon said that Rayman is “in good hands.” Check out the video below.
Rumors of a new Rayman title began last year in October and gained further momentum when Ubisoft confirmed it had started an “exploration phase” for the brand. Subsequent job listings also indicated that a new triple-A title in the franchise was in development, but its progress is currently unknown.
Rayman Legends is the last major Rayman-focused title, released in August 2013 to extensive acclaim. The platforming icon would also receive a dedicated story DLC in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, even though the turn-based tactical strategy title failed to really meet the publisher’s expectations.
In the meantime, to celebrate Rayman’s 30th anniversary, Ubisoft will release concept art, interviews with the development teams and behind-the-scenes details. Stay tuned for more updates.
