Summary
Recent job postings indicate thatUbisoft Milanis working on a new triple-ARaymangame. This is exciting news forRaymanfans, as it’s been a while sinceUbisoftreleased any mainline game in the franchise, and the developers of the popular titleMario + Rabbids Sparks of Hopeseem to many fans to be a perfect fit for the project.
The firstRaymanwas originally released in 1995, and it quickly became a classic. The title received sequels in 1999 and 2003, which were followed byRayman Originsin 2011. Despite the character’s popularity, the most recent mainline entry intheRaymanfranchisewasRayman Legendsin 2013. In the last few years, however, the character has not been forgotten, especially due to his appearance in the popularRaving Rabbidsfranchise, which has seen popular titles such asMario + Rabbids Sparks of Hopereleased for the Nintendo Switch in 2022.
Recently removed job postings archived on Reddit indicated that Ubisoft Milan is “seeking a talented 3D Gameplay Animator to be involved in the production of a prestigious AAA title for theRaymanbrand.” The developer would work to ensure the quality of the content of gameplay animation assets. The job posting hints that this will be a full-blown AAA project, not a minor entry in the franchise.
Ubisoft Milan is Working on a New ‘AAA’ Rayman Game
It’s not too surprising to see Ubisoft Milan working on aRaymangame, though. Last year, Ubisoft confirmed that Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan were “starting an exploration phase of theRaymanbrand,” which was still in early stages. The job posting essentially reaffirms the company’s interest in the franchise and hints at the large scope of the project. Back in 2023, the creative director ofMario + Rabbids, Davide Soliani,expressed interest in working on aRaymangame. However, the director left the studio early in 2025, and many fans have wondered if potential plans had fallen through as a result.
A majorRaymanproject could be big for the French publisher.Ubisoft recently reported huge losses, losing €159 million (around $177.9 million) for fiscal year 2024-2025, with a 20.5% drop in net bookings. It’s possible that bringing back classic franchises such asRaymancould positively impact its situation.
It’s impossible to tell when the nextRaymanwill be out, though. In any case, gamers should not expect the title to come out anytime soon, as it looks to still be in the early stages of development.Ubisoft recently delayed some of its biggest games to 2026 and 2027, too, which indicates that the company does not want to rush its projects.
