After a decade of doing pretty much nothing with the character, Ubisoft is hiring staff for a "prestigious AAA title" in the Rayman series.

It's been over a decade since Ubisoft casually released one of the greatest platformers ever made in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rayman Legends and then decided to do nothing substantial with the character since. A couple of mobile games and an appearance in the Netflix series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix later, Rayman showed a spark of hope by appearing in the DLC for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope in 2023.

l🌺ooking for staff to work on "a prestigious AAA title for the Rayman brand." Notably, the game design roles are for Ubisoft Milan – who developed the Mario + Rabbids games – while the lighting and FX artist roles are at Rayman's usual home of Ubisoft Montpellier.

Outside of its existence, the job descriptions don't reveal much about the Rayman project. Although it's interesting to note that one of the roles is for a 3D gameplay animator, which could hint at the series going back to being a 3D platformer for the first time since 2003's Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. Although it could just as easily be a 2.5D platformer akin to Ubisoft Montpellier's latest game, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Or even a continuation of the Mario + Rabbids series, ditchin🐼g Mario for Ubisoft's own m👍ascot.

Regardless, it's nice to see that Rayman could be coming back, considering Origins and Legends are far and away better than anything the publisher has released in the time since, in my eyes.

After several rough years, Ubisoft says "the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows was a defining moment" and its Tencent deal to basically make Ubisoft 2 is coming along.
