At a fall Gaming Session press event in France, Ubisoft presented its lineup of upcoming titles. The usual suspects were all present, such as Ghost Recon 3, Prince of Persia, King Kong, and so forth, but the real interesting part was when producer Michel Ancel announced that the new installment in the Rayman franchise is making a comeback, which we already hinted at several months ago. While the teaser video did not reveal much information, it showed Rayman being called back from some tropical/vacation resort. No specific were given, but it is expected end of 2006, and most likely on current and next-gen consoles.

Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge is based on an original storyline, this new episode picks up where Rayman 3 left off, with Globox experiencing a split personality, including an "evil" Globox! Naturally, the frenetic Hoodlum Army will try to take advantage of the situation.

DC Studios announced today that it has completed the development of the Nintendo DS version of the latest installment of Ubisoft' s hugely popular Rayman franchise. Rayman DS has been developed in the company's Montreal Studio and will be a launch title in Europe.

Ubisoft today announced that not just one but two Rayman titles will launch simultaneously in March 2005: Rayman DS and Rayman: Hoodlums Revenge for Game Boy Advance. both Rayman titles will be available at the manufacturers suggested retail price of $29.99.

While the existence of Rayman 4 is not really a big secret (it was alluded to a year ago), more details have emerged today as a Ubisoft forum administrator confirmed that Rayman 4 has been in the works since Rayman 3 was released in 2003. The administrator says we will surely see Globox again, and maybe an alliance between Rayman's former enemies, as none have really been "killed." He promises more details later on, but for now we have to settle for the fact that it will be released "before 2007." If you speak French, head over over to the RaymanZone forum.
