Ubisoft Has Delayed Rayman Legends Retold Just a Few Weeks Before Its Planned Release Date

Ubisoft has pushed back the release date of Rayman Legends Retold, initially planned for October 1, to December 3. The game, which was recently completed and ready for launch, now has a few more weeks to undergo final polish before hitting shelves. Ubisoft made the announcement via a social post, noting that the extra time will allow the game to be showcased during the holiday season, potentially increasing its visibility as a potential gift.

The delay ensures Rayman Legends Retold will not compete with major releases like Gears of War, Call of Duty, and GTA 6. Ubisoft's decision to delay the release comes as part of a trend of remaking classic titles, with Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (which was later canceled) being recent examples.

Rayman Legends Retold, a reimagining of the 2013 platformer Rayman Legends, has been well-received, and its success could signal a continued interest in remaking beloved titles.
