INB4 people yell at him to finish a game before thinking about future projects

 

[MidnightCowboy]

How is this dude balancing Wild and Beyond?

 

[Not Drake]

2027 hype

Spoiler

I'm glad Rayman is not forgotten

 

[dangerskew]

What would a new 3D Rayman game even look like today? I loved Rayman 2, but would settle for just a sequel to Rayman Legends.

 

[Sygma]

Possibly the 2nd best platforming ip after Mario. Bring the man back

More 2D please, feels like we are so far removed from any of his 3D games.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Not well I'd guess? Feels like forever since we've seen anything about Wild tbh

 

[Jawbreaker]

He says after both WiLD and BGE2. That's quite a while from now.

 

[Baraka Obama]

Isn’t that made by the AC guy?

 

[SunDimension24]

Rayman 4 on PC, PS6, XBOX Infinity and Nintendo U Switch plus(+) is gonna be Awesome!!

 

[daveo42]

How is this dude balancing Wild and Beyond?

He isn't. Wild exists as that demo only and BG&E2 isn't actually being made. He's just sitting around the Ubisoft office eating fancy cheeses.

 

[sjay1994]

Isn’t that made by the AC guy?

No.

Ancestors is Patrice's game.

BGE2 and Wild are Ancel, with Wild being a PS exclusive he is working with Wild Sheep and Sony on.

 

[Tuck]

Tbh I figured wild was dead.

 

[Marcel]

Maybe he should worry about the game he has in front of him before speculating about the distant future and setting up fans to be disappointed.

 

[Espada]

Yup, that is a very long time from now. Assuming (based on absolutely nothing, mind you) that WiLD is closer to release than BGE2, we're looking at something like 4-6 years from now for this new Rayman to be a thing.

 

[Waluigilicious]

They should fix up Rayman Legends Definite Edition first.

 

[Alexander DeLarge]

Does he mean a 3D game? Or another Ubiart framework game?

 

[sjay1994]

Sound's like 3D.

Since he says "4th adventure"

 

[silva1991]

As long as it's 3D, I will be interested. We need more high budget 3D platformers.

 

[CopperPuppy]

It's going to be a while, but it's comforting to hear my boy hasn't been lost for good.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I have no idea why Rahman 2 got ported to every system known to man. I really played that game a lot as a kid, and I really don’t know why. I hated it.

 

[rayman1900]

How is this dude balancing Wild and Beyond?

The team from Wild are supposedly really efficient (like knowing Ancel's vision by heart) at making the game, so they can take care of themselves while Ancel is shifting between the 2 projects.

 

[CO_Andy]

a Rayman like Mario 3D World would be cool

 

[PantsuJo]

3D Rayman, pretty please.

 

[EYEL1NER]

Great news for lovers of the classic 3D Rayman platformers but I'd rather have another 2D game.

 

[Astral Dog]

lol, doubt that mr. Ancel

 

[Spierek]

I'll take Rayman in any form.

 

[purseowner]

OH MY FUCKING GOD

MY DREAM GAME LIVES

 

[Jonneh3003]

 

[lobdale]

Considering his list of credits for the last 20 years consists almost entirely of Rayman games, I can't say this comes as any surprise.

 

[Oneself]

Loool ok thank you, you made my day.

 

[Lijik]

Considering his list of credits for the last 20 years consists almost entirely of Rayman games, I can't say this comes as any surprise.

to be fair, any time they make a rayman game he gets a "Based on a world and characters created by" credit even if he hasnt actually touched the game

 

[ViviOggi]

So rip Rayman

 

[Yohane]

Yes plz, but animated like Cuphead

 

[Marcel]

So rip Rayman

We'll see it in 6 years or so...maybe.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I'm confused about the fourth adventure part.

They are 5 main Rayman games as well as several handheld platformers.

Now you could put forth he's talking about just Rayman 1-3 but only 2 and 3 were 3D.

In fact the original Rayman and the 3D games are pretty different not only in gameplay but in terms of characters and setting with Legends adopting parts of both.

 

[black070]

Rahman Legends sequel, please.

Referring to Rayman 1-3 probably makes the most sense based on his overall tone, but theres also been 3 ubiart rayman games developed at Ubisoft Montpelier between Origins, Legends and the mobile Adventures

Rayman 4, a full 3D adventure in the vein of 2 & 3 had a trailer and introduced far more menacingly designed Rabbids.

It was scrapped in favour of a minigame collection.

The potential revival of that sure is surprising after over a decade.

 

[so1337]

Yo, when's Wild coming out?

 

[Byvar]

A 3D Rayman revival would be fantastic -- I hope Vivendi will agree.

Ubisoft Montpellier actually had a 3D Rayman project going on for a short time after Rayman Legends, but it was scrapped really early (source: the "L'Histoire de Rayman" book) and they went on to Rayman Adventures, and then Beyond Good & Evil 2. This makes me wonder if it was just put on hold rather than completely scrapped.

BGE2 in the morning, Wild in the afternoon apparently.
