- For the 30th anniversary of Rayman, Ubisoft chose to preserve the original game intact and focus on a documentary-style celebration of the franchise's origins rather than attempting a remake.
- Ubisoft plans to revive the Rayman franchise with new adventurous 3D games, starting with the project Rayman Legends Retold, aiming to align with both player interests and market demands.
- A new development team is being established to reset the foundation of the Rayman franchise, blending elements of remakes with fresh content to rejuvenate the series.
