With "a dozen" music levels, Rayman Legends Retold doubles down on the best bit of the original game, and having played it I couldn't be happier

Key Points:

• Rayman Legends, a beloved 2D platformer first released in 2013 across multiple platforms, is being reimagined in Rayman Legends Retold with updated 2.5D visuals while preserving the original gameplay mechanics and charm.
• The game is celebrated for its creativity, smooth platforming, and iconic musical levels featuring quirky renditions of popular songs, which remain a highlight in the new version with additional tracks inspired by songs like the Macarena and U Can't Touch This.
• Developers from Ubisoft Montpellier and Milan emphasize their respect for the original game's balance of fun and challenge, aiming to appeal to both longtime fans and new players, including families, with a thoughtful selection of music and difficulty.
• The transition to 2.5D allows for enhanced storytelling and visual depth without altering the core gameplay, maintaining the "die-and-retry" platforming DNA while making the experience more inviting for a broader audience.
• Ubisoft views Rayman Legends Retold as a meaningful continuation of the franchise, not just a remake, intending to engage both original fans and new generations, with hopes of expanding the Rayman universe further in the future.
