A New Rayman Game Is Coming This Year, But Not in the Way Everyone Wants

Ubisoft needs to sort us all out with a new Rayman video game, because the last two main entries have been absolute bangers. Instead of following up on the excellent Rayman Legends, though, everyone’s favourite armless hero is getting his very own board game, imaginatively named Rayman: the Board Game.

Players will be able to discover Rayman “like never before” in this tabletop adaptation of the beloved platformer series. “Team up with your favourite heroes in an epic race, dodging dangers and saving the Teensies!”

The game is being developed by “acclaimed” designer Maxime Tardif (EARTH) and FLYOS (Vampire: The Masquerade — Chapters, Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Retaliation). Playable in groups of two to five, the board game is currently pencilled in for launch in the third quarter of this year. You can sign up for updates on the official site.
