More than fifteen years after its original launch, Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, developed and published by Ubisoft, is set to return on PC, PS5, Xbox Series et Nintendo Switch le 1er octobre 2026. This re-release modernizes the beloved platformer while preserving its content and artistic direction, with an initial trailer outlining the improvements.
The trailer returns to the various environments of the Clairière des Rêves, where Rayman, Globox and the Ptizêtres traverse forests, caves, underwater realms and surreal landscapes suspended in the air. The sequences alternate between platforming, chases, battles and confrontations with several bosses already present in the original game.
Ubisoft is highlighting the updates in this Enhanced Edition. The animations, visual effects, and presentation have been revamped to deliver a crisper image on today’s platforms, while preserving the hand-drawn art style that defines Rayman Origins.
Ubisoft has not released a new official synopsis for this remaster. The game picks up the adventure of Rayman Origins, in which Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies must travel through the Dream Forest to restore balance to a world menaced by Nightmare creatures.
Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition remains a 2D platformer. Players advance through a series of levels, running, jumping, gliding, and taking down enemies while dodging a variety of traps. Exploration yields Lums, frees Electoons, and unlocks new routes.
The game also preserves its local co-op mode, letting several players tackle the adventure together. Each character shares the same abilities, with an emphasis on coordinating to overcome obstacles and complete the levels.
This new edition retains the original game's content while benefiting from graphical upgrades and technical improvements tailored for today’s consoles and PCs.
At this stage, Ubisoft has not announced a special edition, pre-order bonuses, compatibility with a subscription service like Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, or any content exclusive to this version. The information released so far centers on visual and technical upgrades and the game’s simultaneous launch across platforms.
This reissue also accompanies Rayman Legends: Retold, unveiled by Ubisoft as part of the series’ return to current-generation consoles.
Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition will mark the return of the first chapter of the UbiArt era on modern platforms. Ubisoft is expected to reveal fresh technical details about this edition ahead of its planned early-October release. We can't wait!
