Key Takeaways
- Former Prince of Persia developers are rumored to be working on a Rayman remake at Ubisoft Milan.
- Michel Ancel, creator of Rayman, is reportedly consulting on the remake, sparking mixed reactions.
- Fans are eager for Rayman’s return after years without a proper game.
As a gamer with a rich history of playing both Prince of Persia and Rayman games, I must say this news has me intrigued! The idea of former Prince of Persia developers working on a remake of Rayman sounds like an exciting blend of two beloved franchises.
It’s been whispered that the team who previously developed “Prince of Persia” could be working on an updated version of “Rayman.” You might have heard that the studio responsible for this year’s “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown,” Ubisoft Montpellier, was allegedly dissolved because the game didn’t sell as well as expected. Earlier reports indicated that they had proposed additional DLC and a sequel for “The Lost Crown” after September’s “Mask of Darkness”, but these ideas were supposedly rejected by higher-ups at Ubisoft, due to fears that sales for the initial game would decline further.
Despite not meeting Ubisoft’s sales targets for the game “Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown”, its favorable reviews have left some gamers pondering how the developers would manage a 2D version of the “Rayman” series. Although “Rayman” is a well-known franchise from Ubisoft, the small platformer character with floating hands has not graced our screens with a substantial game since the release of “Rayman Legends” in 2013. The only significant appearances Rayman had after that were some mobile spin-offs, a playable role in the DLC of “Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope”, and a recurring character in the animated series “Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix” from last year.
According to sources from Insider Gaming, it appears that ex-team members from the Prince of Persia series have been moved to a new development team. This team is currently working on an unannounced remake of Rayman, which is being referred to as “Project Steamboat.” This project is being led by Ubisoft Milan, an Italian studio with over 25 Ubisoft games under its belt. The team handling this project includes more than a dozen members who previously worked on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
Former Prince of Persia Team Reportedly Developing Rayman Remake
Furthermore, there are whispers that Michel Ancel, the brain behind Rayman and other Ubisoft series such as Beyond Good & Evil, is now serving as a consultant for the supposed Rayman Remake. This news has sparked varied responses among the development team, given Ancel’s past allegations of toxic work environment conduct during his time at Ubisoft, which culminated in his retirement in 2020.
As an ardent admirer of Rayman, I must clarify that the degree of Michel Ancel’s involvement in this rumored remake remains unclear. However, it’s essential to note that these are just unverified whispers floating around at the moment. Nevertheless, for more than a decade, we, the dedicated fans, have been yearning for Rayman’s comeback. What adds to our excitement is the speculation that some of the team reportedly working on this remake has previously contributed to the masterpiece, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
