Rayman Legends Retold Expands Its Musical World With a Dozen Levels

Ubisoft’s Rayman Legends Retold preserves the series’ charm while expanding its musical side to a total of twelve levels (six originals plus two new tracks inspired by Macarena and MC Hammer), all while keeping the classic 2.5D feel and accessible, family-friendly pacing.
