The Ubisoft company is currently at an interesting point, given that they are reviving several of their franchises, the clearest example being Prince of Persia, with two video games for this year, one already came out a few months ago and the second is in development to be released in early access in May. However, the saga of Rayman remains forgotten despite the cameo made in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hopea treatment that may be about to change within the next few days.
The designers Maxime Tardif and Flyos They have teamed up with the French owners of the IP to create a board game based on the classic platform game. It is designed for 2 to 5 players and will be released in the third quarter of 2024, this with figures of iconic characters from the franchise such as Globox.

Here is a description of the saga:
Rayman is a video game series created by Michel Ancel and developed by the company Ubisoft. The main character and the eponymous series began their history in 1995 with the release of the first game, simply titled “Rayman.” Since then, Rayman has become one of Ubisoft's most beloved and recognized franchises, with several titles under its belt.
Rayman is a distinctive character due to his unique appearance: he has no visible arms, legs, or neck, but he does have hands, feet, and head that appear to float around his body. This feature allows her to perform various acrobatic and magical actions, such as throwing her fists at him or spinning his hair like a helicopter to fly briefly. The character design is colorful and cartoonish, making him appealing to audiences of all ages.
He has remained an icon in the video game industry and has influenced video game culture with his style and humor. The series has been adapted to other forms of media, including animated television series, and has been part of other video game franchises in the form of crossovers and cameos.
For now the last game in the series is Rayman Legendsavailable on all current platforms.

Author's note: It's a strange return but at least it's a return, though fans who have been waiting for years might be even more disappointed.
