Rayman Legends, originally released in 2013, has a score of 90 and is being remade into Rayman Legends Retold, which features a transition from 2D to 3D graphics and introduces new gameplay elements. Developed by Ubisoft Milan and Montpellier, the remake aims to create a cohesive narrative with voice acting, cutscenes, and interconnected overworld maps. It includes a new sixth world called The Land of the Livid Dead, with fresh platforming abilities and dragon riding segments.
