Ubisoft has released a six-minute overview trailer for Rayman Legends Retold, offering a closer look at the remake’s new content ahead of its December 3 launch. The video highlights a new sixth realm, four additional musical stages, dragon-riding sequences, voiced cinematics and expanded four-player couch co-op. Rayman Legends Retold is being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
The remake keeps the side-scrolling platforming structure of the 2013 original while rebuilding its presentation with modern 3D visuals. Ubisoft says a selection of recognizable stages will return alongside new environments and gameplay additions, with the mysterious sixth realm serving as one of the largest expansions. Players will still jump, glide and punch through stages while collecting Lums and rescuing Teensies, but the remake adds more cinematic presentation and new sequences around that familiar structure.
Music levels are also receiving additional content. Rayman Legends Retold includes four new musical stages built around timing movement and actions to the soundtrack, expanding one of the original game’s most recognizable features. The overview also shows dragon rides and the Cave of Trials, giving the remake additional challenges beyond its returning platforming stages.
Ubisoft is expanding the story at the same time. Rayman and his allies face a new enemy spreading corruption through the Glade of Dreams, with fully voiced cinematics used to present the revised narrative. The soundtrack has also been expanded by composers Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope, combining returning musical material with new compositions made for Retold.
The visual overhaul uses Ubisoft’s Snowdrop technology alongside elements of the original UbiArt Framework. Developers have previously explained that Snowdrop handles much of the new visual presentation while the older technology helps preserve the movement and gameplay characteristics associated with Rayman Legends. The result is designed to maintain the feel of the original platforming while allowing more elaborate environments, lighting and camera work.
Local multiplayer remains a major part of the remake. The entire adventure can be played with up to four players through couch co-op, with participants able to compete for Lums and Teensies while progressing through the same stages. Kung Foot also returns with improved controls, additional power-ups and customizable rules, expanding the competitive minigame that appeared in the original release.
Rayman Legends Retold also includes Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition as part of the standard package. Ubisoft describes the additional game as an upgraded version of the 2011 platformer with higher-resolution presentation, new collectibles, rewards and quality-of-life improvements. That effectively pairs the Legends remake with an updated version of its immediate predecessor in the same release.
The overview arrives shortly after Ubisoft delayed Rayman Legends Retold to December 3, moving it away from its previously announced October 1 launch. The company said the game had already gone gold but that the extra development time would be used to give remaining details additional attention. Ubisoft had also confirmed at the time that a new game overview trailer and fresh hands-on coverage would arrive on September 22.
Rayman Legends Retold is scheduled to launch December 3 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store. The new overview makes clear that Ubisoft is treating the project as more than a visual remaster, with additional stages, story material, music, multiplayer changes and a separate enhanced version of Rayman Origins included alongside the rebuilt game.
