🎵 Ubisoft announced Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition last week — and released it the very next day 2. The commemorative edition was developed by Digital Eclipse 2.

Some fans weren’t happy to find the original soundtrack replaced with a “reimagined” version, with no in-game option to switch back 1.

Ubisoft has acknowledged the feedback and says it’s looking into adding the original music back in 3.
