Ubisoft’s Rayman Project Gets Green Light
So, remember that time Ubisoft said they were just “exploring” the idea of a new Rayman game? Well, it looks like they’ve officially given the thumbs up for full development, with recent job listings hinting at a big-budget Rayman title in the works.
A Bit of Background
Last year, word got out that Ubisoft had put together a small team of developers to possibly remake Rayman. And instead of the usual cryptic response, Ubisoft actually confirmed the news, saying they were in the early stages of the project. Fast forward to now, and it seems like things are moving along nicely.
New Job Listings
Ubisoft Milan is on the hunt for a 3D gameplay animator to work on a “prestigious AAA title for the Rayman brand.” There’s also a listing for a senior game designer to join the team. Looks like they’re serious about bringing Rayman back in a big way.
A Glimmer of Hope
Fans of Rayman have reason to be excited, especially with Ubisoft Montpellier and Milan behind the wheel. These studios have a solid track record, with hits like Mario + Rabbids and the beloved Rayman Origins and Legends games. So, it’s safe to say we’re in good hands.
A Bit of Drama
The only hiccup in Rayman’s comeback story is the involvement of Michel Ancel, the original creator of Rayman. There were some concerns raised about his role as a consultant, especially after his controversial departure from Ubisoft. But hey, maybe everything will work out in the end.
Looking Ahead
With Ubisoft facing some challenges in recent years, a successful Rayman revival could be just what the doctor ordered. The company has been making some changes to focus on its biggest franchises, and Rayman seems to be part of that plan. Hopefully, this new game will be a step in the right direction for Ubisoft.
So, there you have it – Rayman is back in action and ready to make a splash in the world of gaming once again. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a successful comeback!
