Rayman Legends Retold is a remake of the 2013 Rayman Legends 2D platformer, adding a new world to explore, a new villain, 3D visuals and 1-4 player couch co-op.

Rayman Legends Retold builds on the charm of the original 2013 game, now brought to life with stunning 3D visuals, a brand-new story and fully voiced cinematics. Players can join Rayman, Globox, Barbara, Grand Minimus, and Murphy on a new adventure to restore peace to the Glade of Dreams, threatened by a shadowy villain spreading chaos across the realms. Playable solo or with up to four players in couch co-op, players can experience iconic fast-paced platforming as they leap, glide, and punch their way through a never-before-seen sixth realm, epic boss battles and worlds filled with hidden Teensies to rescue.

With new and improved gameplay, players can dive into a rich selection of returning levels, take flight on thrilling dragon rides, test their skills in the Cave of Trials, and jam through four all-new musical stages. They will also be able to explore a reimagined Glade of Dreams, now more immersive than ever, featuring new character encounters and surprises around every corner. In addition, Kung Foot returns with improved controls, power-ups, and customizable rules, delivering hours of frenzied competition.

Throughout their journey, players can enjoy an expanded soundtrack that blends fan-favorite original themes with new compositions from acclaimed composers Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope.

Rayman Legends Retold is overhauling the original game’s audio presentation with a rebuilt audio engine, 43 minutes of new music, newly recorded dialogue and voice acting, and support for modern surround sound standards. While preserving the original soundtrack that helped define Rayman Legends, the remake introduces new orchestral compositions, additional musical levels, and a more immersive audio experience designed around contemporary technology.

The project also brings back longtime Rayman voice talent, including David Gasman as Rayman and Billy West as Murphy, while introducing narrative-driven dialogue and expanded character performances to support new story elements and progression.

A Complete Audio Modernization

The original Rayman Legends audio was built on an older in-house engine. Retold introduces a modern audio framework featuring positional audio, foreground/background acoustic perspectives, improved material realism, clearer sound prioritization, and a higher-fidelity soundscape designed to improve gameplay readability.

The game also supports a more immersive mix, with greater separation between music, ambient audio, voices, and gameplay sound effects.

43 Minutes of New Music Joins the Original Soundtrack

The remaster retains nearly all of the original soundtrack composed by Christophe Héral and Billy Martin while adding 43 minutes of new music. New compositions include additional Dragon Ride tracks, music for an entirely new realm, new musical levels, and orchestral recordings performed by a 75-piece symphonic orchestra in Vienna. Grant Kirkhope also contributes new music for the newly introduced Land of the Livid Dead realm.

Musical Gameplay Expands Beyond the Original

The team is adding new musical levels alongside returning favorites such as "The Eye of the Tiger" and "Black Betty."Ubisoft has already revealed one new musical level featuring a Macarena cover, with additional music-driven stages still to be announced.

New Narrative, Dialogue, and Returning Voice Talent

For the first time, Rayman Legends Retold introduces a stronger narrative framework tied to progression through the game's worlds. To support that effort, the team recorded new dialogue and character performances across the cast. Returning talent includes David Gasman as Rayman and Billy West as Murphy, alongside new performances for major characters including Barbara.
