Ubisoft says remaking Rayman 1 is "near impossible," teases "more adventurous 3D" Rayman if Rayman Legends Retold succeeds
GoNintendo • • technology
Key Points:
- The developers consider remaking the original Rayman 1 nearly impossible due to its slow pace and old-school design, viewing Rayman Origins as a more fitting reboot that captures the spirit of the original while updating gameplay.
- For the 30th anniversary, the team chose to preserve Rayman 1 in its original form and focus on a documentary-style celebration of the franchise's origins rather than attempting a remake.
- Looking ahead, the developers plan to revive the franchise with more adventurous 3D Rayman games, starting with the project Rayman Legends Retold, aiming to appeal to both players and the current market.
- A new development team is being established to reset the foundation of the Rayman franchise, blending elements of remakes with fresh content to successfully relaunch the series.
