Rayman Legends Retold has been officially delayed to December

For years now we’d been hearing that Ubisoft was trying to bring back the Rayman series, with the last entry – Legends – releasing all the way back in 2013. More than a decade later, Rayman is finally returning with a remake/reimagining of the aforementioned Legends. In an unexpected announcement however, Ubisoft have now confirmed that Rayman Legends Retold has been delayed from its initial October date; now arriving in December instead.

Taking to social media to make the announcement, the official Rayman page confirmed the delay, writing: “Hello Rayman fans, Rayman Legends Retold will release on December 3rd. While the game has officially gone gold, we have decided to take extra time to make sure every detail gets the care it deserves.”

As mentioned, the game was initially set to launch next month (on the 1st of October), marking a not-so-insignificant delay. That said, it appears as though marketing for Rayman Legends Retold will proceed as normal, with the team confirming that a ‘Game Overview Trailer’ is set to go live on the 22nd of September alongside a suite of hands-on impressions from various creators / press.

As with most of 2026, October is set to be a major month for game releases, with some of the most notable including Ace Combat 8; Gears of War E-Day; Star Wars: Galactic Racer; Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen; Final Fantasy Resonance and dozens more.

November is of course set to be dominated by Grand Theft Auto VI and – to a lesser extent – The Legends of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake. Given this, it makes sense that if Rayman Legends Retold were to be delayed, then December presents the closest opportunity for a clear runway.

If nothing else, when the game does finally launch on the 3rd of December, it should hopefully be fully polished and ready to enjoy.
