Which company developed the Rayman series?

Which company developed the Rayman series? The answer is Ubisoft.

Rayman is a video game franchise created for Ubisoft, the French publisher and developer founded by the Guillemot family. The original game was developed by Ubi Pictures, a studio that later became associated with Ubisoft Montpellier. As the franchise expanded, different Ubisoft studios contributed to individual games, including teams in Montpellier, Sofia, Casablanca, Milan, Paris, Bucharest, Shanghai, and elsewhere.

The first Rayman game was released in 1995 and became an important early success for Ubisoft. It was praised for its colorful art, expressive animation, imaginative world, and unusual protagonist, who has no visible arms or legs. The series later grew to include Rayman 2: The Great Escape, Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, and several spin-offs.

A common source of confusion is the distinction between developer and publisher. Ubisoft has filled both roles across the franchise, but individual titles may credit a particular Ubisoft studio as the developer. Sega, Electronic Arts, and Nintendo distributed or supported other games and platforms, but they did not develop the Rayman series.
