Rayman Legends Retold Wiki

Your complete guide to the 3D reimagining of the beloved platformer — release info, editions, controls, co-op, collectibles, walkthrough, and everything you need before and after launch.

Worldwide Release

October 1, 2026

Overview

Rayman Legends Retold is a bold 3D reimagining of Ubisoft's acclaimed 2013 platformer, developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan using the Snowdrop engine. Beneath its cinematic visuals lies the same tight side-scrolling platforming fans love — now enhanced with a new story, fully voiced cinematics, a mysterious sixth realm, dragon-riding sequences, four new musical stages, and improved Kung Foot multiplayer.

The game supports solo play and up to four-player local couch co-op. Every Standard Edition includes Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition — a remastered version of the 2011 classic with 4K resolution, 60 FPS, new collectibles, and quality-of-life improvements.

  • Genre: 2D Platformer (3D presentation)
  • Developer: Ubisoft Montpellier & Ubisoft Milan
  • Publisher: Ubisoft
  • Engine: Snowdrop
  • Modes: Single-player, 4-player local co-op
  • Composer: Christophe Héral & Grant Kirkhope

Why This Remake Matters

Ubisoft describes Retold as the foundation for Rayman's future. Brand producer Loïc Gounon stated the team chose Legends for its popularity, tight gameplay, and content variety — making it the ideal base to expand lore and world logic for a new generation.

Release Date & Platforms

Rayman Legends Retold launches worldwide on October 1, 2026. Ubisoft confirmed this date during Sony's State of Play in June 2026. Note: some store pages briefly listed an earlier placeholder date — the official global release is October 1.

What's New

Rayman Legends Retold is far more than a visual upgrade. While the core 2D platforming structure remains intact beneath Snowdrop's 3D staging, Ubisoft has added substantial new content and modernized the entire presentation.

  • Stunning 3D visuals replacing the original UbiArt Framework look
  • Brand-new story with fully voiced cinematics (8 voice languages)
  • Mysterious sixth realm with 5 levels and a new final boss
  • Four all-new musical rhythm stages
  • Dragon-riding 3D sequences connecting worlds
  • Cave of Trials challenges and return of Cave of Bad Dreams
  • Kung Foot with improved controls, power-ups, and customizable rules
  • Expanded soundtrack by Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope
  • Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition bundled with every edition

Story & Characters

Set in the Glade of Dreams, Rayman Legends Retold sends Rayman and his friends on a journey to restore peace when a shadowy villain spreads chaos across every realm. Unlike the original, the remake features expanded character interactions, voiced cutscenes, and a climactic conclusion in the new sixth realm.

Playable Heroes

CharacterRole
RaymanThe limbless hero — balanced all-rounder (David Gasman)
GloboxRayman's loyal friend — larger hitbox, great for co-op
BarbaraViking princess — powerful melee attacks
Grand MinimusTiny Teensie king — compact, agile
MurfyAssist character in certain sequences (Billy West)

Hidden Teensies are scattered across every level. Rescuing them unlocks new playable heroes, gallery content, and progression toward 100% completion. The sixth realm ties together the expanded lore that Ubisoft hopes will anchor Rayman's future as an ongoing franchise.

Worlds & Map

Rayman Legends Retold revisits the iconic worlds from the original game and adds a never-before-seen sixth realm. Each world contains multiple levels, hidden cages, boss encounters, and musical stages. Dragon-riding sequences connect the end of one world to the beginning of the next.

Fiesta de los MuertosMexican Day of the DeadMusical stages, mariachi levels

Coming at Launch

Detailed level-by-level maps with Teensie locations, Lum paths, and hidden cage positions will be added when the game releases on October 1, 2026. Bookmark this section for post-launch updates.

Back to Origins Levels

Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition includes its own world map with separate collectibles. It is a distinct game bundled with Retold — track its progress independently for 100% completion.

Controls

Retold preserves the responsive controls of the original Rayman Legends. Kung Foot mode receives improved controls with customizable rules. Below are expected default bindings based on the original game and confirmed Retold improvements.

Haptic Feedback

PS5 DualSense and compatible controllers receive haptic feedback in Retold and Origins Enhanced Edition. Enable vibration in system settings for the full experience.

Co-op Guide

Rayman Legends Retold supports up to four players in local couch co-op with shared-screen gameplay. Players can drop in and out at any time. When a player dies, they become a floating bubble — teammates punch the bubble to revive them instantly.

  • Connect up to 4 controllers before launching the game
  • Press Jump on each controller to join at the character select screen
  • All players share one screen — the camera prioritizes forward progress
  • Collision is forgiving — players can stand on each other to reach high areas
  • No online co-op — use Steam Remote Play Together for virtual couch sessions on PC

PC Multi-Controller Troubleshooting

  • Ensure all controllers are detected in Windows before launching
  • For mixed Xbox/PlayStation controllers, configure each in Steam Big Picture > Controller Options
  • Set left stick as 'Joystick Move' for each controller individually
  • Disable DS4Windows if it conflicts with native detection
  • Try 'Forced On' for Steam Input if controllers are not recognized
  • One player can use keyboard while others use controllers

Best Co-op Experience

Two players offer the best balance for precision platforming. Four players is ideal for casual fun and Kung Foot matches, but musical stages and tight sections can get chaotic with a full party.

Collectibles & Items

100% completion in Rayman Legends Retold revolves around collecting Lums, rescuing Teensies, earning Electoons, and finding hidden Skull Coins. These systems carry over from the original with potential additions in the sixth realm.

CollectiblePurpose
LumsScore currency — 600 Lums earns Gold Trophy per level
TeensiesHidden prisoners — rescue all for world completion
ElectoonsWorld unlock currency — earned from Lum milestones and speed runs
Skull CoinsHidden collectibles worth 25 Lums each
Lum KingTemporary power-up — doubles Lum value while carried
MedallionsEarned at 350+ Lums in select levels
Scratch TicketsUnlocked via Lum milestones — reveal bonus content

100% Completion Checklist

  • Rescue all Teensies in every level (including invasion levels)
  • Earn Gold Trophy (600 Lums) on every story level
  • Collect all Skull Coins and hidden cages
  • Complete all musical stages with perfect timing
  • Finish Cave of Trials challenges
  • Complete the sixth realm and defeat the new final boss
  • Unlock all heroes in the gallery

Lum King Strategy

Always grab the Lum King before collecting large Lum clusters. Red Lums are worth double points and are essential for hitting the 600 Lum Gold Trophy threshold on difficult levels.

Walkthrough

This walkthrough provides a pre-launch roadmap for completing Rayman Legends Retold. Full level-by-level guides with Teensie locations, Lum routes, and boss strategies will be published at launch.

Recommended Play Order

  • 1. Complete the main story in order through all five returning worlds
  • 2. Explore the new sixth realm for the expanded story finale
  • 3. Return to levels missing Teensies or Gold Trophies
  • 4. Tackle musical stages for rhythm-based Electoons
  • 5. Complete dragon-riding sequences between worlds
  • 6. Enter Cave of Trials for challenge rewards
  • 7. Play invasion levels for remaining Teensies
  • 8. Switch to Origins Enhanced Edition for the bundled second game

World Progression Tips

Play through each world once in story mode, grabbing obvious Teensies and Lums. After beating the final boss, revisit levels systematically — use the level select screen to track missing Teensies (shown as silhouettes) and Lum trophies (bronze/silver/gold indicators).

Post-Launch Content

Detailed walkthroughs for every level, including the sixth realm, new musical stages, and dragon-riding sequences, will be added on October 1, 2026. Each guide will include video timestamps and 100% completion routes.

Kung Foot

Kung Foot is the football-inspired local multiplayer mode returning from the original Rayman Legends. Retold improves the mode with better controls, new power-ups, and fully customizable rules — making it a perfect party game for up to four players.

  • Soccer-style gameplay using Rayman characters as players
  • Customizable match rules (score limits, time, power-ups)
  • New power-ups exclusive to Retold
  • Improved control responsiveness over the 2013 version
  • Playable independently from the main campaign
  • Best experienced with 3-4 players locally

Party Night Tip

Kung Foot is separate from the main platforming campaign. Launch it from the main menu for quick sessions between story levels or after completing the game.

Cave of Trials & Dragon Rides

Cave of Trials

The Cave of Trials returns with new challenges designed to test platforming mastery. These optional gauntlets offer rewards for players who conquer timed obstacle courses and combat rooms. Expect escalating difficulty tiers with unique rewards at each completion level.

Dragon Rides

Brand-new to Retold, dragon-riding sequences are 3D stages that connect the end of one world to the beginning of the next. Game Informer described them as cinematic transitions that break up the 2D platforming with aerial traversal. Master steering, dodging obstacles, and collecting airborne Lums during these rides.

  • Cave of Bad Dreams also returns from the original
  • Trials reward Electoons and gallery unlocks
  • Dragon rides feature full 3D movement in a side-scrolling game
  • Co-op may be supported in select trial rooms — details at launch

Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition

Every edition of Rayman Legends Retold includes Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition — a remastered version of the 2011 platformer that started the modern Rayman revival. It is a complete standalone game with its own worlds, collectibles, and progression.

  • 4K resolution and 60 FPS on compatible hardware
  • New collectibles and rewards not in the original Origins
  • Haptic feedback for compatible controllers
  • Quality-of-life improvements and modern UI
  • Also available as a separate purchase on October 1, 2026
  • Track progress separately from Retold for full completion

Two Games, One Purchase

Standard Edition at $39.99 includes both Retold and Origins Enhanced — effectively two full platformers. Complete Retold first, then enjoy Origins as bonus content worth 15-20 hours.

Codes & Rewards

There are no official cheat codes for Rayman Legends Retold. As a premium Ubisoft title, the game does not use Roblox-style promo codes. Beware of websites claiming to offer free codes — they are not legitimate.

Confirmed Pre-Order Rewards

  • Hoodlum Havoc Pack — pre-order any edition before launch
  • Contains 2 costumes for Rayman and Globox (Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc inspired)
  • Automatically delivered at launch to your platform account

Future Promo Codes

Ubisoft may occasionally distribute promotional codes through official channels (Ubisoft Connect rewards, Twitch drops, or special events). This section will be updated if official codes become available. We will never publish unverified or fake codes.

No Cheat Codes

Rayman Legends Retold is a skill-based platformer. There are no console commands, debug codes, or in-game code redemption menus. All unlockables are earned through gameplay.

Updates & Roadmap

There is no official Trello board for Rayman Legends Retold. Unlike fan-made Roblox games, this is a AAA Ubisoft release — updates are communicated through official channels only. Do not trust third-party Trello links claiming to show development roadmaps.
