Ubisoft Begins Hiring for Exciting New AAA Rayman Game
Ubisoft Announces Development of a New AAA Rayman Title
Ubisoft has officially confirmed that a new installment in the beloved Rayman series is in development. Recent job postings on the Ubisoft Milan website reveal that the company is actively building a dedicated team for this project, which is described as a AAA-level game.
Key Positions and Expert Skills Needed
Currently, Ubisoft is seeking highly skilled professionals to join the project:
- 3D Gameplay Animator: Responsible for creating dynamic and engaging animations for what is described as a “prestige AAA Rayman” game. Candidates must have relevant experience in high-quality animation production.
- Senior Game Designer: Should have contributed to at least two released projects and possess expertise in modern game engines such as Unreal Engine or Unity. This indicates that the new Rayman game will be built on contemporary technology rather than Ubisoft’s legacy internal engine.
What This Means for the Game’s Development
The hiring initiatives suggest that Ubisoft is moving beyond initial concept stages and entering into pre-production or full-scale development. The project is no longer in early planning but is actively taking shape with a focus on cutting-edge technology.
Background and Series History
The last major release in the Rayman franchise, Rayman Legends, came out in 2013. Since then, Rayman has appeared sporadically in other titles, but fans have eagerly awaited a new mainline entry. The current job openings signal Ubisoft’s commitment to delivering a significant new adventure for Rayman fans worldwide.
Other Upcoming Ubisoft Projects
Aside from the Rayman game, Ubisoft previously announced a new title based on the Might and Magic series. However, this project diverges from traditional gameplay, being a Web3 strategy game that incorporates NFT technology, allowing players to save their card decks in blockchain format.
