Rayman: 30Th Anniversary Edition Arrives with 5 Classics and 120 Extra Levels
Ubisoft is marking three decades of its limbless platforming icon with Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition, launching February 13. The collection brings the 1995 original to modern systems with multiple platform-specific versions, a previously unreleased SNES prototype, and a slate of quality-of-life options. Players return to the Dream Forest and Band Lands to rescue Electoons and face Mr. Dark – this time with optional assists that ease the challenge curve. A reimagined soundtrack and an interactive documentary round out a package aimed at both series newcomers and long-time fans.
