Ubisoft is actively developing a new Rayman game, created collaboratively by Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan, with a tentative release targeted for late 2026 under the codename 'Steambot', though fans should not expect it immediately.

To celebrate Rayman's 30th anniversary, Ubisoft has revived its social media presence, shared retrospective content, and teased future projects for the franchise.

The announcement of the new game and anniversary celebrations has sparked enthusiasm among fans, who are encouraged to share their ideas for Rayman's next adventure.

During this period of anticipation, fan projects such as remakes, mods, animations, and fanfiction continue to keep the community engaged and excited about Rayman's future.

Rayman composer Christophe Heral, known for his work on Origins and Legends, participated in the celebrations by performing a musical piece and expressing gratitude to fans.

The Rayman community celebrated the anniversary with a showcase featuring 24 fan-made projects, highlighting ongoing fan engagement despite the series' quiet period.

Ubisoft Montpellier reaffirmed that Rayman's future is actively being worked on, thanking fans for their continued support.

Upcoming projects include a 3D Rayman game called 'Monsters of the Depths', a stylish 2D platformer 'Dreambound', and a fan-made sequel 'Revenge of the Dark', among others.

The series was originally created in 1995 at Ubisoft Montpellier, with contributions from various Ubisoft studios over the years, and the revival efforts are part of a broader strategy to leverage established franchises.

The official Rayman social media account was reactivated on September 1, 2025, marking the first activity in four years and generating renewed excitement.

Ubisoft's broader game pipeline for 2026/2027 includes major titles like the next Ghost Recon, Assassin’s Creed, and a Splinter Cell remake, indicating a focus on high-quality releases.

In addition to the mainline game, Ubisoft is exploring various projects such as a Minecraft Rayman DLC, animated series, fan projects, and even a horror visual novel 'Rayman Distorted' to keep the franchise vibrant.
