Rayman Legends Retold, Ubisoft’s reimagined platform adventure, has claimed the Best Nintendo Switch 2 Game award at Gamescom 2026. The recognition highlights the highly anticipated title ahead of its October launch on the Switch 2.
The award victory positions Rayman Legends Retold as a standout title in the console’s growing library. The game faced stiff competition from several notable releases, including Denshattack!, Mega Man: Dual Override, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and OPUS: Prism Peak—a diverse lineup that reflects the quality of games coming to the Switch 2.
As part of the Gamescom showcase, Ubisoft also shared a musical level video featuring a “Macarena” themed sequence, giving attendees a glimpse at the game’s creative approach to level design and entertainment. The presentation underscores Rayman Legends Retold’s emphasis on engaging, vibrant gameplay that blends classic platforming with contemporary design sensibilities.
The award validates Ubisoft’s decision to reimagine the Rayman Legends experience for the Switch 2’s launch window. With its October release date approaching, the game is positioned as one of the system’s must-play titles, offering both longtime franchise fans and newcomers an opportunity to experience the beloved platformer in a fresh light on Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.
