Rayman Legends Retold delayed to 3 December 2026
Ubisoft moves Rayman Legends Retold from 1 October to 3 December 2026. The remake is already gold and gets a new overview trailer on 22 September.
- According to Ubisoft, the game is already gold, but it’s getting extra time so “every detail gets the care it deserves”.
- A new Game Overview trailer is set for 22 September 2026 on PC, PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S.
What happened
Ubisoft has announced via the official Rayman account that Rayman Legends Retold will arrive later than planned. The remake was originally due on 1 October 2026, but the new release date is 3 December 2026. That pushes the game back by roughly two months, and the announcement came only a few weeks before the original launch.
In the same message, Ubisoft said the game has already gone gold. Even so, the publisher is giving it extra polish, saying every detail deserves the care it deserves. That wording is the core of the official explanation that appears across multiple reports. No more specific technical or content-related reason for the delay has been given in the available sources.
The delay applies to the PC, PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S release. Ubisoft also tied the announcement to a new Game Overview trailer, which is scheduled for 22 September 2026. The sources explicitly describe it as an overview trailer; no details from the video have been confirmed yet.
The timing is notable, since the game was only introduced as a new remake in June 2026. Moving it from early October to early December means Ubisoft is no longer keeping it in its original autumn window, but shifting it slightly later in the year.

Background
Rayman Legends Retold is a remake of Rayman Legends, the 2013 2D platformer. Ubisoft introduced the game in June 2026 as a new version of the original with updated visuals and extra content. In the supplied reporting, the title is also described as a reimagining, but the core idea remains a modern re-release of Rayman Legends.
According to the available coverage, the remake includes improved graphics, 4K60 support, new collectibles, and extra rewards. Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition is also said to be bundled for free with Rayman Legends Retold. That bundle is mentioned in the sources as part of the broader release plan around the remake.
The title is also described in the supplied sources as the first Rayman game in 13 years. That makes it not just a remake, but also a new release in a franchise that has been quiet for a long time. The shift from October to December makes the return of Rayman even more noticeable, as it now lands in December 2026 rather than in the original autumn slot.
The available sources agree that Ubisoft has declared the game gold, while still taking extra time for polish. At the same time, the exact scope of the new content is not described identically everywhere. One source focuses more on new visuals, while others emphasize extra content and rewards. What is clear for the release plan is that Ubisoft now intends to launch the game on 3 December 2026 for PC, PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S.
