The Rayman series has been around since the mid 90’s and is considered to be one of the most iconic names in video game history. The last main installment that we got to see in the Rayman series was the Legends game that came out during Summer 2013. Rayman Legends was actually one of the most successful installments within its own series reaching over 4.4 million copies in sales across multiple platforms during 2010’s. Despite, the success of Rayman Legends Ubisoft has not released a major installment for Rayman in over a decade. Generally, pretty much all of Rayman games have been E “rated” mainly because the character was originally designed to appeal to children along with a casual audience. Rayman has seeming been irrelevant for the past several years until he appeared in the Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix anime on Netflix. When Rayman appeared in the Captain Laserhawk anime we saw a different side his character after he brutally murdered every member of Eden after discovering their dark motives and actions towards his species. In fact, after the Captain Laserhawk was released Rayman was trending on social media platforms like Twitter because his portrayal within the show was something that came off as unexpected. The shock value that Rayman brought to the Captain Laserhawk anime had many people wondering whether or not Ubisoft could pull of a more adult themed video game with him in the future. If Rayman had the right storyline, dialogue and voice actor Ubisoft could possibly create a badass third person platform shooter game with him. The platform genre is not quite as popular as it once was and obviously its something that may have played a role in Ubisoft not making more Rayman games within the past decade. During the 2010’s Ubisoft has turned more attention to other gaming franchises that generates more revenue including Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed; which might be another big reason why we have not seen another major Rayman game in over a decade.
