In an exciting turn of events, the beloved classic game Rayman from the original PlayStation era is poised to make a comeback on the PS5 in time for its 30th anniversary. This announcement comes following a recent age rating posted in Australia, hinting at a grand re-release.
According to the age rating listing, this special edition—titled Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition—will be available for both PS5 and Nintendo Switch. Interestingly, Atari is credited as both the publisher and developer, while U&I Entertainment appears as the applicant, particularly for physical copies. This implies that gamers might be treated to a collector's boxed version in addition to the digital release on the PlayStation Store.
This resurgence of Rayman aligns perfectly with remarks from Ubisoft, the franchise's creator, and corroborates rumors circulating among gaming insiders. Ubisoft is currently in the midst of celebrating three decades of the Rayman franchise, and this re-release is only one element of their festivities. Insider Gaming has suggested that not only is a re-release on the horizon, but also a full remake and even a new installment in the main series, indicating that the company is keen on revitalizing this iconic platformer. Reports suggest that we can expect the 30th Anniversary Edition to launch sometime in late 2026.
