Rayman Legends Retold

[Hunchman801]

I see where you're coming from. The thing is, most of those character descriptions were random jokes that added no value to the lore in my opinion, and often, they even added to the confusion. I mean, seriously, Shadow Ray?

[PluMGMK]

Shadow Ray was them trolling us for sure My hopes for this kinda align with RayGamer's… I drew the princesses as separate characters enough times back in the day that it would still hurt if they were retconned into mere skins

Yep, they were either getting disgustingly lazy (which isn't out of the ordinary for Ubisoft, need I remind y'all ) or intentionally messing with us with Shadow Ray. If they wanted to make a black-and-white Rayperson who loved silent films, I would have preferred if they went with a grayscale design for him and gave him a noir detective outfit or something. If/when I get better at making art from my head, I might be able to make a redesign concept for the guy, but that's not quite in my repertoire at the moment.

[Kiza/Raybox]

I wonder if Raybox will be added in RLR since I've been imagining him being there in either his classic looks, the red sweater or his gothic looks for some reason. And now that I've checked the recommended requirements for the device, I now wonder if I'll ever get to play the game without lags (probably not), I really wanna know how it's gonna feel like. Not much hope, but I still have it. And yea, regarding the descriptions of the skins, Raybox's one is that kind of descriptions you get on April 1st, though it's one of the important parts for my AUs and headcanons, but I digress.

Indeed, but that wasn't even their intention. The only reason they came up with that story is because they needed to write something after shamelessly reusing the Dark Rayman sprites from Rayman Legends.

Is this the first time we see Rayman with fingernails?

Indeed. I guess Rayomz will have nails on his toes too.

In the meantime, I have pre-ordered the Steam version as well. It will make recordings a much easier task.

[PluMGMK]

I want to, but I'm still worried about the system requirements I mean, Half-Life Alyx also lists a 7th-gen Core processor in its minimum requirements, but I was still able to run it (albeit with the NoVR mod, and with some instability), so I suppose it should be fine… right?

Ahh.. no worries, If you want to break a sweat on the game the only thing you would need is an RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX-5600 XT 6GB with at least 16GB of R AM, and a Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X is also the recommended processor

Picked up mines on PlayStation 5!! I didn't really want to pre-order on PC because I prefer playing Ubiart Rayman games on consoles and because I didn't want to face the challenge with both Denuvo and Uplay in general

Is there going to be version-exclusive content, or it's just down to our personal preferences?

So far no one has confirmed about the existence of exclusive content.

[SuperSinge]

I like it better this way. Why not offer the same experience to all players?

Agreed; however, realistically speaking, if the leaks are true and there will be an Astro Bot skin in Retold, it will almost certainly be exclusive to the PS5 version. Additionally, if they bring back the Ray and Glob Plumber skins (which I hope they do), they'll obviously be exclusive to the Switch 2 version. So I imagine there will be some console-exclusive content if the leaks are true, but I think it'll just be limited to cosmetics like in the OG Legends.

[RayGamer99]

Again, sorry to double-post, but we've got a breaking new development! A user on X/Twitter showed off a few screenshots of Retold models, confirming a bunch of returning skins and a few new ones! They don't all seem to be fully finished yet, but they're finished enough for me to spot them! I'll slap a spoiler tag on the images for those who don't want to see it.


So from the two images I've identified the following skins:

(Deep breath)
Rayomz, Sir Rayelot, Raymesis, Funky Ray, Dark/Shadow Ray, Classic Rayman (which we already knew about), some sort of leather-based Rayman skin - it doesn't really look like Assassin Ray or Adventurer Ray, so is it a prototype for either of those or a new skin? - some other skin for Rayman involving purple; I don't think it's Ray of Persia, but that's where my mind went first...

(Another deep breath)

Sir Globrax, Glombrox, a gray skin for Globox - I think that's supposed to be Globolk - Glombrero, Retro Hunter Globox (which we already knew about), Hoodlum Globox (which we already knew about), a new pink skin for Globox with eyelashes and lipstick - Uglette, is that you?!

(Yet another deep breath)

Elysia, Aurora, Estelia, Ursula, Olympia, Sibylla, Amazonia, Betilla the Fairy Barbara (which we already knew about), what looks like a new Barbara relative/skin with a headpiece sporting three pom-poms and a skull in the center, another new Barbara relative/skin with pink hair and a blue and yellow helmet...

(one last deep breath)

The Flaming Teensy and what might be Teen Punk.

(HUGE exhale)

Notably absent from the bunch, at least from what I could find, are Raybox, Raymolk, Champion Ray, Splinter Ray, Glob Cell, Poglox, Twila, Selena, Emma, Avelina, and most of the Teensy skins. I imagine that most of them are still on the way, but I just couldn't find them.

Edit: If you look really close behind Uglette, you can make out what look like Poglox's arms, so I think he's here too!

It's cool to see just how many skins are being modeled and brought back in Rayman Legends Retold! I still wonder if some of them, namely the Barbara-related ones, will have different voice acting since all of them can't be Celtic. Anyway, I'm excited to see all of these guys again, and if there's any I missed, be sure to let me know (with the spoiler tag, of course)!

Also, don't look now, but I think those are Rabbids in the far back behind one of the Hunter Globox models... make of that information what you will.

Sorry to disappoint, but those are just the rabbits that appear in the background in some jungle levels in Legends. You can already see them in front of and behind Rayman at the very start of this video.

As for the skins, I remembered they were shown before right when the game was revealed: https://youtu.be/KgwQ8jAPVW8?t=638 (10:38, in case the timestamp fails)
Having watched this part again, I can now confirm Rayomz toenails are real.
