At today’s Sony State of Play broadcast, Rayman finally emerged from his long, long slumber with the announcement of the Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition, a fresh celebration of Ubisoft’s classic platformer that you’ll be able to play this week.
Ubisoft has dubbed this new release of the game as its “definitive edition,” as it contains no less than five versions of the original Rayman as released across various classic consoles. You’ll be able to leap through 120 additional levels, too!
For those who want to fully immerse themselves in nostalgia, the package contains an exclusive documentary detailing Rayman’s original creation. And here’s the best news yet: it’s all available tomorrow, February 13.
We haven’t seen Ubisoft’s bouncy boy Rayman in quite a while. His last few games have been confined to mobile-only releases or weird spin-offs, and his last proper new console game was Rayman Legends way, way back in 2013. Which is a shame, because Rayman Legends was excellent, earning a 9.5/10 from us.
Could an all-new game also be on the cards? While we didn’t hear anything on that today, this classic release could set that up nicely. Rayman creator Michel Ancel has previously teased more from the fanchise is coming (and also rather pre-empted today’s announcement of a Rayman remake, too).
