Key Highlights:
- Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition has been rated in Australia for PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
- The rating confirms a near-term release and lists Atari as developer and publisher.
- Industry reporting suggests this is tied to Ubisoft’s previously rumoured Rayman anniversary plans.
Rayman looks set to make a return on modern hardware, as a newly discovered Australian classification has rated “Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition” for both PS5 and Nintendo Switch. The rating, dated 22 January 2026, classifies the game as suitable for general audiences with very mild violence. What makes this filing more intriguing is that Atari is listed as both publisher and developer, despite Ubisoft owning the Rayman IP.
From an industry standpoint, games only tend to hit ratings boards when they are content-complete or close to launch, so a reveal and release should be close. I’ve seen licensed physical runs handled by outside partners before, and Atari has done similar work on retro catalogues, so one working theory is that Ubisoft has outsourced a physical edition while retaining IP control.
Another possibility is that this is the start of a broader anniversary rollout, considering Ubisoft confirmed last year that Rayman would get some form of 30th anniversary recognition.
The rating also lines up with reporting from Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, who has previously stated that multiple Rayman projects were in development. One of those projects, codenamed “Iceman,” was understood to be linked to a Rayman Anniversary release. Given the timing and the platforms, Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition appears to be that project, likely presenting the original 1995 platformer for modern systems with updated support.
It hasn’t looked good for the limbless icon lately, as last year we reported that Ubisoft were secretly working on a Rayman remake in 2021, only for it to be eventually cancelled.
Not only that, I was getting seriously worried when Ubisoft announced just the other day that they are going to cancel 6 in-development games, including its Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake.
Rayman originally launched in 1995 on PS1 before reaching SEGA Saturn, PC and Jaguar, and is still regarded as one of the stronger 2D platformers of its era. With Ubisoft in the middle of a significant restructuring effort, a lower-risk heritage release handled externally would make sense, especially when nostalgia-driven platformers continue to find audiences on Switch.
There’s no official announcement yet, but with ratings now public, expect details soon and likely confirmation of whether the edition includes quality-of-life tweaks, visual updates or simply a straight preservation release.
