    Rayman Legends Retold Preview - A Welcome Dive Back Into The Glade of Dreams | Nintendo Insider (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I absolutely love the fact that Rayman has gotten a chance to take centre stage for Ubisoft this year, the giant inflatable of the hero at gamescom perhaps cementing that claim best. While yes, we may not be getting an all-new Rayman adventure, with every hands-on session I get with the upcoming Rayman Legends Retold, that disappointment feels less and less. If you haven’t already, you can read my initial thoughts on the game when I had the chance to play it for a good chunk of time earlier this
