Rayman fans have good reason to celebrate, as the official Rayman Twitter account posted a new message for the first time in four years. The post came directly from some of the key figures behind the beloved Ubisoft franchise, sparking nostalgia for the series’ past and excitement for its future.
A Look Back at Rayman’s Legacy
Rayman first debuted in 1995, developed by Ubisoft Montpellier. Over the years, the series expanded into a full-fledged franchise with five core entries and numerous spin-offs, including the well-known Raving Rabbids sub-series. For nearly three decades, players have adored Rayman’s whimsical art style, challenging platforming, and unforgettable soundtrack.
However, it’s been over a decade since the last mainline game. Rayman Legends, the most recent entry, launched in 2013, leaving fans wondering whether the series would ever return in a meaningful way.
The Official Tweet That Sparked Excitement
On September 1, the Rayman Twitter account changed its profile image and soon after posted a major update. The tweet included a three-minute video featuring Rayman brand producer Loic Gounon and composer Christophe Heral. Originally part of the Rayman Alive fan event, the video celebrated the franchise’s 30th anniversary.
In the message, Gounon explained that Ubisoft will begin looking back at Rayman’s history, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, developer interviews, and concept art in the coming months. This archival project promises to give fans a deeper appreciation of how the series evolved.

Perhaps the most exciting revelation came when Gounon confirmed that a new Rayman project is in development. According to him, Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan are collaborating on the next installment.

A Musical Treat From Christophe Heral
The video also highlighted Christophe Heral, the iconic composer behind Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. Heral thanked fans for their heartfelt messages about his music and even performed a live mini-concert as part of the fan event. His involvement reminded fans how much passion and artistry have always been at the heart of the series.
Fans React With Enthusiasm
Unsurprisingly, the community responded with overwhelming enthusiasm. Social media was filled with excitement, gratitude, and renewed hope for Rayman’s return. Even though the wait for the next game may be long, the simple fact that Ubisoft is revisiting the franchise gives fans confidence that Rayman’s adventures are far from over.
