The 2013 platformer Rayman Legends is getting a fully-fledged remake, Rayman Legends Retold, with 3D graphics and a new soundtrack composed by industry veterans Grant Kirkhope (Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64) and Christophe Héral. Kirkhope's lightning-fast composition skills have impressed the development team. The remake promises to retain the series' humorous tone through its music and updated visuals.
Rayman Legends Retold, launching October 1, is a reimagining of the 2013 platformer, featuring a new world, 3D Dragon Ride levels, and updated art. Ubisoft opted for this title over older games in the series due to its completeness and the desire to set a high quality bar for the franchise's relaunch. By remaking a more modern entry, the team aims to please both old fans and attract new ones.
