Recently, there have been rumors circulating about Ubisoft working on a new version of the beloved game, Rayman. This news comes after the disappointment of the disbandment of the team behind Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. While Ubisoft confirmed that the staff members had been reassigned to other projects, Insider Gaming reported that around a dozen team members have transitioned to a project codenamed ‘Project Steamboat’, which is believed to be a remake of Rayman.
Rayman, originally released in 1995, has since become a successful platforming franchise for Ubisoft, with critically acclaimed games like Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. The new Rayman remake project is said to be led by a team based in Ubisoft Milan, with the original creator of Rayman, Michel Ancel, serving as a consultant. Ancel, despite facing allegations of toxic behavior in the past, has denied such claims.
The idea of a Rayman remake is undoubtedly exciting for fans of the franchise, but there is some skepticism about Ubisoft’s commitment to seeing the project through. In addition to the Rayman remake, some former Prince of Persia team members have reportedly been assigned to work on Beyond Good & Evil 2 and the next Ghost Recon title.
As we wait to see if the Rayman remake comes to fruition, fans are left wondering if Ubisoft will deliver on this promising project. Are you eager for a new Rayman game from Ubisoft? Share your thoughts and hopes for the remake in the comments below.
