Following rumours of a remake, Ubisoft has confirmed {that a} new Rayman recreation is being thought of.
Over the weekend information broke that builders at Ubisoft Montpellier, the staff which developed the wonderful Prince of Persia: The Misplaced Crown, had been disbanded and {that a} sequel had been turned down. This report was largely confirmed by Ubisoft itself which said that “Many of the staff members who labored on Prince of Persia: The Misplaced Crown have shifted to different initiatives that may profit from their experience.”
Tom Hender wrote on Insider Gaming that Ubisoft’s inside expectations for Prince of Persia: The Misplaced Crown was that it might promote hundreds of thousands, equalling the most important metroidvanias in the marketplace. As an alternative, it has bought round 1,000,000 copies.
Now, a brand new report from Grant Taylor-Hill of Insider Gaming is suggesting that a type of initiatives is a Rayman Remake. Based on “sources near the state of affairs”, the brand new Rayman recreation goes by the codename “Mission Steambot” with Ubisoft Milan being the first builders. Based mostly on what he has been informed, Grant is reporting that round a dozen builders from the disbanded Prince of Persia staff have been shifted over to work on Rayman.
The report goes on to to say that Michel Ancel, the creator of Rayman, is engaged on the mission as a guide. This has apparently precipitated some concern among the many staff as Ancel was beforehand caught up in allegations of “poisonous management” in 2020.
Eurogamer contact Ubisoft for extra data, and surprisingly Ubisoft confirmed {that a} new Rayman recreation is in actual fact being labored on, with Michel Ancel returning as a guide. The assertion says that the brand new Rayman part is “nonetheless in its early phases” so we possible gained’t hear something about it anytime quickly.
