According to Ubisoft, the original Rayman Legends is staying put – it will not be delisted from digital storefronts.

Some fans may have been concerned that the game would be removed later this year. That’s because Ubisoft will be launching Rayman Legends Retold towards the end of 2026. This is a full remake of the original game with updated graphics, new content, and more.

Sometimes when a remaster or remake arrives, publishers will remove the original title. Thankfully though, we won’t have to worry about something similar here. Ubisoft confirmed on social media that the original Rayman Legends will still be available to purchase once we see Retold out there.

Right now you can grab Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition on the Nintendo eShop. A physical version is available as well.

For those wondering about Rayman Legends Retold, we have the following information:

Embark on a bold reimagining of the acclaimed platformer, filled with new content and narrative twists. When a shadowy villain spreads corruption across the Glade of Dreams, journey through its charming worlds solo or in up to 4‑player couch co‑op in a fast‑paced, side‑scrolling adventure where every stumble and surprise adds to the delightful chaos.

Leap, glide, and punch your way through worlds bursting with charm and delightful surprises. Craving a change of pace? Dive into unforgettable musical stages, where every move must sync with the beat for a rhythm‑powered thrill.

Immerse yourself in a world brimming with life, reimagined with stunning visuals. A rich selection of iconic levels returns alongside a mysterious sixth realm and 4 new musical stages. Saddle up for epic dragon rides and test your skills in the Cave of Trials.

Join Rayman and his friends on their most ambitious adventure yet, facing a new foe stirring trouble from the underworld. Voiced cinematics and an expanded soundtrack by Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope bring the journey to life, blending original themes with new compositions.

Play the entire adventure in up to 4-player couch co-op, racing for Lums or knocking each other off to claim every last Teensy. Kung Foot also returns with improved controls, power-ups, and customizable rules for hours of frantic competition.

Rayman Legends Retold comes to Nintendo Switch 2 on October 1, 2026. In case you missed it, we have hands-on impressions here and plenty of gameplay here.

Persona 4 Revival’s new voice cast leaves original Chie actor “grieving”

admin — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 16:59:10 +0000

The latest trailer for Persona 4 Revival finally gave fans a closer look at Atlus’ upcoming remake, but it wasn’t just the updated visuals that caught attention.

While Atlus still hasn’t officially revealed the actors behind Persona 4 Revival’s main characters, it’s now clear that the cast has been completely recast. That’s not entirely surprising. Rumors about a remake had been circulating for years, and several original voice actors previously confirmed they hadn’t been asked to return.

One of those actors was Erin Fitzgerald, who voiced Chie Satonaka in Persona 4 Golden and multiple spin-offs. Following the new trailer, Fitzgerald shared an emotional message on social media, saying she was “deeply grieving” while also expressing gratitude for the opportunity to play the beloved character:

“I’m ok chat. I’m just deeply grieving. Everything in life is transient. I celebrate that the experience happened. I am grateful that I lived it FULLY. Thank you for sharing the journey with me. Yukiko, i will love u forever. Yosuke, let’s go get a burger.”

The situation mirrors what happened with Persona 3 Reload, which also introduced a completely new English cast. While many players eventually embraced those performances, there was an adjustment period for fans attached to the original voices.

Players won’t have to wait too long either, as Persona 4 Revival is currently scheduled to launch on February 18, 2027 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, with Persona 6 waiting in the wings afterward.

Former Retro Studios engineer “let down” by Metroid Prime remaster’s lack of credit for original team

A Metroid Prime designer has voiced disappointment that the game’s original team were not individually credited in the GameCube classic’s recently-released remaster.

Former Retro Studios engineer Zoid Kirsch, who was also unhappy about changes to the door designs, said on Twitter he was “let down” by the lack of individual credits.

“While many studios did amazing work on the remaster, I’m let down Metroid Prime’s Remaster does not include the full original game credits,” he said.

“I worked with so many amazing people on the game and everyone’s name should be included in the remaster, not just a single card like this.”

Along with the tweet is an image of the credits, which simply states: “Based on the work of Metroid Prime (original Nintendo GameCube and Wii versions) development staff”.

Following his previous comment on the doors, he did note that “the remaster is amazingly well done”.

He added: “The improvements to Samus and the boss models are awesome. I just noticed this particular change [to the doors] that stood out from the original. It’s still a wonderful remaster and should be played and enjoyed.”

Metroid Prime Remastered was announced at last week’s Nintendo Direct and has shot to the top of the eShop charts.

This isn’t the first game to have an issue with lack of credits, however.

Earlier this year, an ex-Sega developer highlighted the lack of credits for translators in the recent Persona 3 and 4 releases.

Before that, some developers were left out of The Callisto Protocol credits and accused the studio of “playing favourites”.
