Ubisoft's heard your complaints about Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition's new soundtrack and is apparently looking into possible solutions.
Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition should've been a slam dunk way of celebrating the cheeky mascot platformer. The repackage includes a whopping five versions of the game (MS-DOS, PS1, Atari Jaguar, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance), alongside a lost SNES prototype, a virtual museum of sorts, and a documentary from Digital Eclipse, the studio that's been brilliantly creating interactive bits of history for years now.
Alas, Ubisoft's attempts at a big celebration didn't quite go to plan as the game currently has a 'Mixed' rating on Steam with only 53% positive reviews at the time of writing, with a big portion of those complaints aimed at the game's all new soundtrack composed by Rayman Origins and Legends' Christophe Héral. As far as I can tell, the issue isn't that the new music is outright bad – it's just that it doesn't fit the vibes of the original, if the countless Reddit and Discord threads are any indication.
Over 30 years later, Rayman is finally getting a remake
Rayman creator casually reveals "I think there's a kind of remake planned" for the 1995 platformer
The Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition is neat and all, but I'd still recommend playing the PS1 original on original hardware
"Really good ports of these games," one players writes, before adding that "without the option to switch to the original soundtrack," it "kinda brings it down a lot for me."
Ubisoft has actually been responding to various posts about the renewed OST in its Discord channel, with one employee acknowledging players' "feelings about how the arranged soundtrack doesn't recapture the vibe for you and how all the changes feel," adding that the company appreciates "the suggestion of adding an option to have the old music again." The post continues to say that "the proper team will have a look at this."
Other players also encountered a bug that would stop them from saving in certain versions of the game. Although, it looks like post-launch support for the collection isn't over just yet, so it's entirely possible that fans get the fixes they're hoping for soon.
