# Rayman Legends Retold Is Now Available To Preorder (Out October 1, 2026!)
Holy moly, is anyone else as excited as I am? Ubisoft's *Rayman Legends Retold* has officially gone live for preorders on IGN — and if you weren't already holding out hope that this beloved platformer would get a proper next-gen reimagining, your wait is over. This isn't some lazy asset-flip; it's the full remake of what many consider one of the best 2D/3D platformers ever made, coming to PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and (yes) Nintendo Switch 2 all on October 1, 2026. The date lockstep across every single release makes it feel like Ubisoft is pulling out all the stops with a simultaneous day-one launch, which for me at least signals serious confidence in this project as more than just another retro cash-in — and honestly I'll believe that once my copy hits my Steam library on October 1st.
Let's get into the juicy stuff: what actually makes "Retold" worth getting excited about instead of just re-downloading the original? Well, it retains all those gorgeous level designs with upgraded visuals (I've been drooling over some screenshots), keeps the killer soundtrack intact because no platformer is complete without being able to dance around to Daft Punk and Pharrell in a music world — but here's my absolute favorite thing: they're bringing back **Local Four-Player Multiplayer**, which means you can finally summon your whole couch crew again for chaotic co-op runs. The original Rayman Legends already had this feature, but seeing it listed prominently as a key selling point tells me Ubisoft wants to make this experience feel genuinely fresh while honoring everything that made the 2013 version so beloved in my book — especially if you're planning to get on Switch 2 from launch day like I am.
As for where you can actually reserve your copy, IGN's Hannah Hoolihan just broke down all the major retailer options across platforms (you can check her full breakdown at https://www.ign.com/articles/rayman-legends-retold-where-to-preorder), so whether you're a PC warrior or console loyalist there are plenty of doors to get this one locked in before October rolls around — and I have zero doubt these preorders will move fast given the Rayman franchise's cult following. Now if anyone else is picking up Legends Retold on day one (I already did), drop me a message because I need friends for some co-op chaos!
