Ubisoft is reportedly working on a remake of the original Rayman game, with development being handled primarily by Ubisoft Milan. This project, codenamed “Project Steambot,” has gained attention due to the involvement of former team members from the recently disbanded Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown team.

The remake is said to be bolstered by the expertise of these developers, who have transitioned from their previous project after Ubisoft decided not to pursue a sequel to The Lost Crown. Michel Ancel, the original creator of Rayman, is involved in the project as a consultant. However, his past controversies regarding allegations of toxic leadership have raised concerns among some team members.
