The game supports both single-player and local co-op for up to four players. Expect the signature fast-paced platforming action, with plenty of jumping, gliding, and enemy-bashing. This time around, players will also explore a brand-new sixth world, tackle colossal bosses, and discover a variety of stages brimming with hidden Teensies.

Expect to explore a reimagined Glade of Dreams, revisiting beloved stages with enhanced gameplay. This includes dragon flight sequences, challenges in the 'Cave of Trials,' and four new musical stages.

The 'Kung Foot' mode also makes a return, now featuring improved controls, a revamped power-up system, and customisable rules. This promises even more frantic competition and prolonged multiplayer fun.

Complementing the original score, the soundtrack will feature new compositions from renowned composers Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope.

"Rayman Legends Retold is a project to look back at what makes Rayman special and retell that experience to a new generation of players," said Loïc Gounon, Brand Producer at Ubisoft Montpellier. "We wanted to keep all the elements that fans love, and it provided the perfect foundation to further expand the lore, story, and how each element connects within the Rayman universe."

Rayman Legends Retold is slated for release on October 1st for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Ubisoft+, and GeForce Now. While it supports 12 languages, including English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, Korean is not among them.
