Rayman Legends Retold announced, rebuilt on Snowdrop

gamingJun 3, 20261254,084

Rayman Legends Retold launches October 1, 2026, rebuilt on the Snowdrop engine with updated 2.5D visuals, extra stages, and new musical levels. Creators are producing illustrations, comics, short animatics, edits, and cosplays that focus on the remake's art direction and added content. Recurring subjects include Betilla the Fairy's redesigned look, Barbara's updated appearance, the new music level built around MC Hammer's 'U Can't Touch This', and challenge-focused stages like the Cave of Trials. Many artists reuse or rework the original game's expressive smear-frame animation into 3D-style key art while others recreate the timeless 2D charm.

Just got my first DMCA hit on Bluesky for posting the Xbox Store listing of Rayman Legends Retold. Annoying this happens especially when they don't ask me first to remove On the previous platform, I got a DMCA warning because Amazon put up New Tales from the Borderlands too early

I fail to see how a public link can be DMCA'd 😭 Welcome back tho

How is a link even a DMCA thing, if they don’t like any content in it, have it with directly with website, if they put it up too early, take it down. Dumb stuff as usual imo

DMCA is literally one of the stupidest laws on the books

Wild to get a DMCA for helping a company sell their product for free.

I of course got it for the exclusive Rayman Legends Challenge app where I destroyed @antdude.bsky.social before ever even knowing who he was.

I bought a Wii U during Launch just to play Rayman Legends when that came out.... I also bought a 3DS during Launch to play Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version when that came out.... You can see a pattern here during the early 2010s for me.

I got it for the Wii U exclusive Pikmin 3, but Rayman Legends was the first game I bought for it. Got it on launch day!

Liam Robertson16

I genuinely did this. I bought it in late 2012, thinking I’d get it and wait for Rayman.

I bought an NES to play Super Mario Bros. 7....

If I had one issue with Rayman Legends, it was that its visuals were too readable and nice to look at. Thank you, Ubisoft.

the wii u will never recover from losing this exclusive

I think in isolation or still images it looks great, but In motion it just becomes noise. It’s been awhile since I played legends but I don’t recall the old style having this issue.

Hrm, not feeling that Rayman Legends remake. The original still has some of the best 2D art in games. So many expressive stretch and smear frames! No part of it has aged significantly. Replacing it all with slightly-too-glossy 3D models is a truly baffling decision.

Also, the voice lines were definitely not a necessary addition.

So there are apparently new music levels in Rayman Legends Retold. And the first one shown is based MC HAMMER'S 'U CAN'T TOUCH THIS'!

@freydraws.bsky.social

idk rayman legends retold feels like a disney live action remake to me. it doesnt look bad, but it doesn't hold a candle to the artstyle of the original. like im sure itll be good but way to destroy the most unique thing about it.

i fucking adore origins and legends, probably my favorite 2d platformers of all time. i should be very excited about new stuff but remake culture has me just 😐😐😐

Woulda been nice if they used that engine for more than like 3 games

Ok I actually haven't looked at it yet let me- Why the fuck did they do this????

kalweebascope.bsky.social2

Yeah when I thought it was a new game I was like "not huge on the style but ok", then they said it was a remake and. No. Why.

I know it's old hat around here for me to complain about this sort of thing but I honestly think this Rayman Legends remake is the perfect visual of what defines "remakeslop" in my eyes Every aspect of the original game's original identity being removed in favor of what looks "impressive".

@crimsonmayhem.bsky.social

I have so many mixed emotions about Rayman Legends Retold. I honestly don’t hate the new look. Actually I would admit it’s absolutely stunning and gorgeous, but the 2D look is just utterly timeless.

I'm happy that Ubisoft finally gave a shit about the limbless wonder again.

Betilla the Fairy is a generic fairy? Rayman has separate eyes now? Rayman Legends is 3D? What are you talking about, you had a crazy dream! Get up it's still the 90s, check out this pog I got!
