Update 1, 19:28pm GMT: As if it wasn’t clear enough already that the other Rayman game is some kind of anniversary re-release, Gematsu has just spotted that the Australian Classification board has rated Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition for Switch and PS5. Considering the timing and nature of the release, it’s very likely that this is the other project that’s been being worked on.
A reliable gaming insider has backed up the rumours of a Rayman Legends remake and suggested that the other Rayman game in development is releasing “very, very soon”.
Ubisoft’s recent restructure, which led to the cancellation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and several other games, sent Rayman fans into a bit of a frenzy. With the series already seeming low-priority for Ubisoft compared to giants like Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed, a lot of us feared that the vegetable thingamajig’s next game might not see the light of day.
That doesn’t seem to be the case, though, as multiple insiders have actually shared some interesting information about the two rumoured Rayman projects. One of those is apparently a Rayman Legends remake of some kind (don’t get me started on how weird that is), but the other still remains a bit of a mystery, aside from some information an insider just shared.
Rayman’s Next Game Is Apparently Coming “Very Very Soon”
It Sounds Like It’ll Be Tied To His Anniversary
As pointed out by Twitter user Shamaboy11, Insider Gaming recently released a new episode of its podcast, Insider Gaming Weekly, where the team talked about the current state of Ubisoft. During the podcast, one viewer asked Insider Gaming editor in chief Tom Henderson about the two rumoured Rayman games, codenamed Iceman and Steambot.
Rayman 2 Would Be Worth Breaking My Remake Rule For
Despite a general distaste for remakes, I’d be willing to make an exception for Rayman 2.
Henderson replied by backing up the recent rumour that Steambot is a remake of Rayman Legends, but noted that the other game, Iceman, is scheduled to release first. In fact, Iceman is apparently going to launch “very, very soon” as it’s apparently tied to Rayman’s anniversary, which could mean this September.
Iceman is going to release before that, and very, very soon. There’s a certain anniversary for the game coming up for the game so you can kind of put two and two together with that. – Tom Henderson
It’s not clear what exactly Iceman is from Henderson’s comments, but if I had to guess, it’s some kind of anniversary release, possibly of the first three games in the series. Considering how recently the Rayman projects started development, I find it hard to believe a brand-new game of any kind will be ready to go this year, making a re-release of some kind seem more likely.
That’s just speculation on my end, though, as Iceman could really be anything that’s made to celebrate Rayman’s anniversary. We’ll have to wait and see what Ubisoft announces, which sounds like it’s going to be soon if the project is meant to be tied to 2026.
