Rayman Legends Retold Preview: A Clean Remake Packed with Platforming Fun

IGN's preview praises Rayman Legends Retold as a clean remake with tons of content and great value, perfect for Switch 2 owners craving a platformer this Fall.

Are you a Switch 2 owner staring down a Fall without GTA 6? Or maybe you just need a solid platformer to scratch that itch while waiting for a new 3D Mario? Rayman Legends Retold might be exactly what you're looking for.

According to IGN's preview, this remake isn't trying to break new ground visually or gameplay-wise—and that's totally fine. It's a clean remake that's chock-full of content, both new and old, at a pretty nice value. If you missed Rayman Legends the first time around, this is your chance to jump in.

The timing seems perfect for the Switch 2 crowd. With GTA 6 not landing on the platform this Fall, and a new 3D Mario still absent, plus Super Mario Bros. Wonder now a couple years old, there's a platforming gap to fill. Rayman Legends Retold could slide right into that spot.

It's also a great entry point for younger players who haven't experienced the series before. The remake offers a fresh way to discover what makes Rayman so beloved, without needing to track down older hardware.

Of course, if you're a veteran, you'll still find plenty to love. The mix of new and old content means there's something for everyone, whether you're revisiting or discovering for the first time.

And who knows? If this remake does well, it might just lead to a brand-new Rayman adventure sooner rather than later. That's something fans have been hoping for.
