“Rayman Legends Retold is our way of revisiting what makes Rayman so special, and re-telling that experience for a new generation of players. We wanted to preserve everything fans love, and Legends gave us the perfect foundation to expand Rayman’s lore, its world logic, and how everything connects together.” said Loïc Gounon, Brand Producer.

 Rayman Legends Retold features stunning 3D visuals, breaking up the 2D perception by bending the playground, tilting the camera, and dynamizing in-game cutscenes, improving player immersion. 

The game also has an expanded soundtrack by Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope, as well as voiced cinematics, bringing the journey to life in new and exciting ways. Plus, for the first time in franchise history, the characters are fully voiced, giving them a new dimension. The game also has new and improved gameplay, with a rich selection of returning levels, a mysterious new realm, and four new musical stages in which every move must sync with the beat of the soundtrack. You can also push your skills to the limit in the Cave of Trials, which offers ongoing free challenges. 

“With Rayman Legends Retold, we want to deepen immersion by fully taking advantage of the PS5’s capabilities, using our Snowdrop engine to deliver a more expressive Rayman experience.” said Guillaume Cerda, Brand Director.

“This fresh 3D approach serves as a bridge between the visual richness and dramatization of Rayman 2 and 3, and the efficiency and clarity of the side-scrolling gameplay of Rayman Legends.” said Guillame Arvieu, Brand Art Director.

Turn the journey into a shared experience and play Rayman Legends Retold with up to four players in couch co-op, adding a new level of fun chaos as you play through the adventure. Rescue your friends, race them for Lums, or knock them off their path so you can claim all the Teensies for yourself. You can also face off in the new and improved Kung Foot, which returns with improved controls, power-ups, and customizable rules.
