Summary
- Ubisoft renews the trademark for Rayman 3, causing many to hope for a possible remaster.
- The Rayman series' challenging gameplay makes it a prime candidate for a remaster.
For fans of the iconic Rayman series, 2025 just got a bit more exciting, as Ubisoft renews the trademark for one of the franchise's most popular installments: Rayman 3. First released back in 2003, the action-adventure game was widely praised upon its launch. Nine years later, in 2012, the third title in the series received a remaster. Rayman games are known for their distinctive style, whimsical characters, and relatively challenging gameplay mechanics for their time, with the high-quality art direction that Ubisoft has brought to many of its titles.
Over the years, Ubisoft has produced many memorable games, including Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Prince of Persia, and Assassin's Creed. Many of the titles in its extensive catalog have spawned numerous sequels, becoming beloved franchises. While the studio often leans heavily on its established series rather than tackling new IPs, given its impressive resume, that’s somewhat understandable.
As reported by Rayman Together! On Twitter, Ubisoft has filed for a fresh trademark for Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. According to the post, the updated trademark for the game was lodged in September 2024. While fans will welcome the news, a trademark renewal doesn’t automatically mean a remaster for modern systems is on the cards.
Rayman 3 Trademark Renewed by Ubisoft
The Rayman series has been around for decades, debuting on PlayStation 1 and Atari consoles in 1995. Since then, the game has evolved and taken many different forms. However, not all games in the Rayman collection are considered equal, with some becoming hits and others missing the mark. Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge is a prime example of a title that failed to resonate with fans. On the other hand, Rayman Legends is recognized as one of the best entries in the series.
Rumors about a Rayman 3 remaster have been floating around the industry for some time now. However, the confirmation of the trademark renewal suggests that it's closer than ever to materializing. Ubisoft is no stranger to remastering games from its extensive catalog, with titles like Far Cry 3 and Assassin’s Creed 3 receiving enhanced visuals and resolution in 2018. Rayman 3 may be the next one of its classic titles to get a second life on modern platforms.
For many games of the PlayStation 1 era, the transition into the modern gaming landscape faces a common problem – some gamers find them too easy. However, among games of its generation, the Rayman series is known for its difficulty. This uniquely positions the game as a prime candidate for a remaster, blending challenging gameplay with nostalgia. Fans will just have to wait and see if the fresh trademark brings a new remaster into reality.
