What Happened to Heroes of Might and Magic, or Biggest Ubisoft IPs We're Slowly Forgetting
Ubisoft is showering us with new brands and an increasingly diverse catalog of games. It's just that instead of items like XDefiant or Hyper Scape, we'd probably prefer a return of Heroes or Rayman. Here are 10 big franchises that Ubisoft could resurrect.

Rayman
- Genre: platformer
- How long have we been waiting: 9 years
This iconic series of colorful platformers starring Rayman, a hero without arms but having hands is a true legend of the genre. And that was the name of the last fully-fledged installment of the series (Rayman Legends) which was released in 2013. The series has its roots in 1995, and a list of all released games for all platforms and counting spin-offs, as many as 45 games were released in total. With its amazing atmosphere, it is a shame that in the era of cute indie platformers, we have to do without this veteran.
Suffice it to say that Rayman Legends was rated 9.5 / 10 with us and we wrote about this game the following:
All reviews were very enthusiastic - people loved Rayman Legends, but the sales were a disappointment for Ubisoft, even with one million copies sold in the year of release. From that time, the company re-releases Legends on different platforms, with Google Stadia being the final one in 2021. There also have been mobile games released, but nothing on a major, fully-fledged continuation. The fact that Rayman 's creator - Michel Ancel - decided to focus on Beyond Good and Evil 2 , and in 2020 left the industry after accusations in a Ubisoft scandal, didn't help either. Anyway, a new, colorful Rayman harnessing the power of PlayStation 5 would be something!
