Following rumours of a remake, Ubisoft has confirmed {that a} new Rayman sport is being thought of.
Over the weekend information broke that builders at Ubisoft Montpellier, the group 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 “A lot of the group 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 tens of millions, equalling the largest metroidvanias available on the market. As an alternative, it has offered round 1,000,000 copies.
Now, a brand new report from Grant Taylor-Hill of Insider Gaming is suggesting that a kind of initiatives is a Rayman Remake. Based on “sources near the scenario”, the brand new Rayman sport goes by the codename “Mission Steambot” with Ubisoft Milan being the first builders. Based mostly on what he has been advised, Grant is reporting that round a dozen builders from the disbanded Prince of Persia group 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 venture as a marketing consultant. This has apparently triggered some concern among the many group 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 sport is actually being labored on, with Michel Ancel returning as a marketing consultant. The assertion says that the brand new Rayman section is “nonetheless in its early levels” so we doubtless gained’t hear something about it anytime quickly.
