Rayman Legends Retold release date, pre-order and latest news

We've been waiting a long time for his return, so you bet we're counting down the days until the Rayman Legends Retold release date.

It was unveiled at Sony's June 2026 State of Play, and is already shaping up to be one of the biggest games to come out near the end of the year (you know what notwithstanding).

So, if you're excited to see how Ubisoft's remake is going to shape up, here's what you need to know about Rayman Legends Retold including release date, pre-orders and more.

The Rayman Legends Retold release date is 3 December 2026, Ubisoft has confirmed.

The game was originally scheduled to arrive on 1 October, but a delay was announced in September, with Ubisoft confirming that "we have decided to take extra time to make sure every detail gets the case it deserves."

That's a disappointment, but if it means we'll get a better game at the end of the day, that's good enough for us.

Yes. Rayman Legends Retold is available to pre-order now ahead of its 1 October launch, with listings live on the Ubisoft Store, Steam and other storefronts including Amazon.

The PC version requires a Ubisoft Connect account regardless of where you buy it, so keep that in mind if you are picking it up through Steam or the Epic Games Store.

Rayman Legends Retold gameplay and story details

Check out our Rayman Legends Retold preview to see what we learned from a hands-on demo at Ubisoft's UK office!

Retold rebuilds the 2013 platformer in 3D while preserving its original level layouts, so classic side-scrolling stages now play out in 2.5D with a dynamic camera that pulls back and tilts to reveal depth and the curvature of the world. Levels are reached through portals in a grand fantasy overworld rather than by leaping into paintings.

The headline new mechanic is a set of dragon rides, forward-scrolling 3D shoot-'em-up sequences in which you dodge hazards, pull barrel rolls and fire at enemies, acting as connective tissue between the worlds of the Glade of Dreams.

Ubisoft has also added a brand-new sixth world, four new musical rhythm levels and an expanded Kung Foot Evo multiplayer mode.

The story-side gets an overhaul too, with an immersive new narrative and fully voiced cinematics, and returning voice talent including David Gasman and Billy West. Players can once again team up as Rayman, Globox, Barbara, Grand Minimus and Murfy, with couch co-op supported through the campaign.

An official trailer for Rayman Legends Retold has been released and can be viewed below.
