Ubisoft makes Rayman Rabbids outfit exclusive to Switch 2

Rayman Legends Retold launches on December 3, 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and Ubisoft is making a Rayman Rabbids outfit exclusive to the Switch 2 version.

Switch 2 players can claim the Rayman Rabbids outfit for free during their first visit to Victor Velour’s costume shop in the game. The outfit pays tribute to the Rabbids characters, who first appeared in Rayman Raving Rabbids, a 2006 Wii launch title, and many Rabbids titles have shipped since, including Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.

Rayman Legends Retold is a 2.5D remake of 2013’s Rayman Legends, originally announced as a Wii U exclusive before releasing on other platforms. It is co-led by Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan. The game supports up to four players in local couch co-op and includes an improved Kung Foot mode.

It features a mysterious sixth realm and four new musical stages, with an expanded soundtrack by Christophe Héral and Grant Kirkhope plus voiced cinematics. Retold adds new levels and music, a unifying story, voice acted cutscenes and a world map, unlike the original, which showed worlds and stages as gallery paintings with little unifying narrative.

Rescuing captured teensies is the prime collectible used to unlock additional levels, and the game has primary levels plus unlockable challenge levels. Its worlds end with new dragon-riding levels like a forgiving Star Fox, and the Cave of Trials is one of the game’s challenges. A new foe is stirring trouble from the underworld.

Kung Foot returns with improved controls, power-ups and customizable rules. A June 2026 preview had set the Switch 2 release for October 1st, but GamingBolt states the game was delayed to December. GamingBolt says Rayman Legends Retold is being touted as a way to restart the franchise. Nintendo World Report says Ubisoft invited it to sample a very early build in the week before the June 2, 2026 preview date.

PlayStation 5 players can unlock the Astro Bot outfit for free on their first visit to Victor Velour’s shop, and Yahoo Tech reports the suit is exclusive to the PS5 and PS5 Pro versions. IGN describes Astro Bot as the PlayStation hit mascot and a 2024 Game of the Year winner.

The collaboration serves as a mutual tribute because Rayman appeared as a guest character in Astro Bot in 2024, and Ubisoft Milan, Ubisoft Montpellier and Team Asobi developed the new look. Rayman has a long history with strong ties to the original PlayStation era, while Astro Bot represents a newer generation of PlayStation characters.

Gaming Age reported on October 28, 2026 that cosmetic baguette outfits had been announced a few days earlier. Victor Velour’s shop is the in-game location where the protagonist can change outfits.

A PlayStation Blog interview found adapting Astro Bot to Rayman’s world meant balancing two different art styles. Yahoo Tech reports that lead character artist Quentin Chaillet said the team wanted to preserve the robot’s most recognizable elements without compromising Rayman’s own identity, adapting proportions, materials and visual details to fit Rayman’s unusual body shape. Guillaume Arvieu, the game’s art and world director, said collaborations bring different generations together and introduce the universes to new audiences.
