Rayman Legends Retold delayed two months to December 3

Ubisoft has pushed Rayman Legends Retold from its original October 1 release date to December 3 — a two-month slip announced via the official Rayman social accounts on September 14.

The team's statement is brief but direct: "While the game has officially gone gold, we have decided to take extra time to make sure every detail gets the care it deserves." Despite already hitting gold status, the delay is real. To soften the wait, a Game Overview trailer drops September 22, and a selection of press and creators will share fresh hands-on impressions the same day. Rayman Legends Retold is a remake of the beloved 2013 platformer Rayman Legends, rebuilt in Ubisoft's Snowdrop engine with 3D visuals, 4K60 graphics, new collectibles and rewards, and a free bundled copy of Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition. It's coming to PC, PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series S/X.

The timing stings for Ubisoft. Rayman Legends Retold is now the company's only meaningful new game release this fall — its other autumn output is Just Dance: Decades of Hits and a Switch 2 port of The Crew Motorfest from 2023. Delays have become a recurring problem for the publisher: Assassin's Creed Shadows also slipped over polish concerns, and Far Cry and Ghost Recon projects have similarly stretched their timelines. Those struggles have pushed Ubisoft into outside funding, restructuring, layoffs, and studio closures.

Community reaction is mixed — fans are frustrated by a last-minute delay on a game that was already gold, though the September 22 trailer and hands-on coverage should give players something concrete to chew on before December.
