Listen closely to this Rayman Legends Retold – Behind The Music trailer

Sure, Ubisoft’s Rayman series is most obviously known for it’s colorful, well-animated and fun visuals, along with that super-solid platforming gameplay and level design, but the music has always been a highlight as well.

To show off, aurally, the overhauled audio, Ubisoft has dropped off a new Rayman Legends Retold – Behind The Music trailer which goes deep into all the modernizations and updates they have worked into the remake. This includes a rebuilt audio engine, 43 minutes of new music, newly recorded dialogue/voice acting, and support for modern surround sound standards, as well as new orchestral compositions, additional musical levels, and a more immersive audio experience “designed around contemporary technology”.

They also confirmed that David Gasman would return to voice Rayman, and Billy West will reprise his role as Murphy, and there will apparently be more narrative-driven dialogue including expanded character performances for the new story elements. Oh, and Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition will also be on the receiving end of some audio upgrades as well.

Rayman Legends Retold is overhauling the original game’s audio presentation with a rebuilt audio engine, 43 minutes of new music, newly recorded dialogue and voice acting, and support for modern surround sound standards. While preserving the original soundtrack that helped define Rayman Legends, the remake introduces new orchestral compositions, additional musical levels, and a more immersive audio experience designed around contemporary technology.

The project also brings back longtime Rayman voice talent, including David Gasman as Rayman and Billy West as Murphy, while introducing narrative-driven dialogue and expanded character performances to support new story elements and progression.

A Complete Audio Modernization

The original Rayman Legends audio was built on an older in-house engine. Retold introduces a modern audio framework featuring positional audio, foreground/background acoustic perspectives, improved material realism, clearer sound prioritization, and a higher-fidelity soundscape designed to improve gameplay readability.

The game also supports a more immersive mix, with greater separation between music, ambient audio, voices, and gameplay sound effects.

43 Minutes of New Music Joins the Original Soundtrack

The remaster retains nearly all of the original soundtrack composed by Christophe Héral and Billy Martin while adding 43 minutes of new music.

New compositions include additional Dragon Ride tracks, music for an entirely new realm, new musical levels, and orchestral recordings performed by a 75-piece symphonic orchestra in Vienna. Grant Kirkhope also contributes new music for the newly introduced Land of the Livid Dead realm.

Musical Gameplay Expands Beyond the Original

The team is adding new musical levels alongside returning favorites such as “The Eye of the Tiger” and “Black Betty.”

Ubisoft has already revealed one new musical level featuring a Macarena cover, with additional music-driven stages still to be announced.

New Narrative, Dialogue, and Returning Voice Talent

For the first time, Rayman Legends Retold introduces a stronger narrative framework tied to progression through the game’s worlds.

To support that effort, the team recorded new dialogue and character performances across the cast. Returning talent includes David Gasman as Rayman and Billy West as Murphy, alongside new performances for major characters including Barbara.

Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition Also Receives Audio Upgrades

Included with Rayman Legends Retold, Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition receives its own audio improvements.

Updates include a modernized audio engine, remastered assets, support for 5.1 surround sound, and an updated mix intended to improve clarity, comfort, and overall sound quality.
