As previously reported, a Ubisoft team primarily based in Milan is putting together a team for a Rayman Remake, which features a number of staff that worked on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. The report also mentioned the involvement of Ancel as a consultant, which ties in with the official statement above.

Ubisoft issued an official statement on the situation with the team behind The Lost Crown, confirming that its developers are involved in various projects, and that the Montpellier team is still very much alive and kicking. As it stands, the Rayman Remake hasn’t been officially confirmed by Ubisoft yet, but at least we know that something is in the pipeline.
