Rayman Legends Retold, the upcoming remake, will not replace the original Rayman Legends on digital stores, Ubisoft has confirmed. Fans can continue to purchase and play the classic version alongside the new retold edition. This decision contrasts with the delisting trends seen with remasters of GTA Trilogy, Assassin's Creed 3, and others.
Rayman Legends Retold introduces the Land of the Livid Dead, a brand-new world with levels designed to be "a bit more on the difficult side" compared to the base game. This addition, along with a revamped art style, a proper story with cutscenes, and new levels, promises to make Legends Retold more than just a simple remake. The Land of the Livid Dead, now the game's sixth world, brings a challenging and focused expansion that Origins fans will particularly appreciate.
Ubisoft is remaking the beloved 2013 platformer Rayman Legends with Rayman Legends Retold, set to launch October 1, 2026.

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.
