On February 13, 2026, Ubisoft released Rayman – 30th Anniversary Edition in celebration of the classic platformer’s first game. This isn’t merely a re-release of an old title either, as it’s as beefed-up as possible. To celebrate the anniversary, Ubisoft released five versions of the original game, more than 120 extra levels, and a documentary about the limbless platforming hero. The five versions of the original Rayman are from PlayStation, Atari Jaguar, MS-DOS, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance. Incorporated alongside these versions are levels added from Rayman’s New Levels, Rayman 60 Levels, and Rayman By His Fans.
A Whole Lot of Rayman in a Single Release
Rayman first appeared in 1995 from what was then known as Ubi Pictures and Ubi Soft. Originally, Rayman was set for launch on the Atari ST. That didn’t pan out, and it soon made its way to the Super NES CD-ROM before moving over to the Atari Jaguar once Nintendo canceled the CD-ROM accessory. Eventually, Rayman was included as a launch title for the PlayStation, which is where most folks first met the limbless character, and it was a smashing success. It was then ported to a variety of systems, including the Super Nintendo, but the project was cancelled.
Now, for the first time, Rayman – 30th Anniversary Edition includes the never-before-seen SNES prototype. Players will now get to see how Rayman might have looked had it been released on the classic 16-bit console. The documentary tells the story of the game’s creation, featuring nearly an hour of interviews with the original developers. It explores concept art, design documents, early sketches, and more, detailing how Rayman moved from paper drawings to consoles in the early 1990s. The game has been completely reworked to add modern gameplay features, including multiple save slots, rewind, and instant level unlocks.
