Details on the New Rayman Project
In an official statement, a representative confirmed that both Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan have begun an 'exploration phase' for a new Rayman project. Currently, the specifics of this game, including whether it is a remake, remain unclear, but Ubisoft assures fans that more information will be forthcoming.
Shift in Development Focus
Reports indicated that the Montpellier team, previously engaged with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, has transitioned to various new projects at the company. Some team members are now involved with the highly anticipated Beyond Good and Evil 2, while others are working on a new Ghost Recon title. Additionally, there is a segment of the team dedicated to the Rayman project, known as Project Steambot.
Legacy of Rayman and Future Prospects
The Rayman series has a rich history, with Rayman Legends being the latest mainline game released in 2013.
