Which studio is listed as the developer of the 1995 game Rayman?

Ubi Pictures is listed as the developer of the 1995 game Rayman. The studio worked on the original platformer before the company’s later Ubisoft-era naming became familiar to players.

Rayman was created by Michel Ancel and developed within Ubi Soft’s production network. Ancel’s early concept began as a personal project, but the game expanded into a much larger production involving teams in Montpellier and Montreuil. Ubi Pictures is credited with developing the original release, while Ubi Soft published it.

Players sometimes confuse the developer with Ubisoft Paris, another studio associated with later Ubisoft projects, or with companies that handled ports and related versions. The original Rayman also received versions for several platforms, and later editions could involve different teams. Those credits do not replace Ubi Pictures as the canonical developer of the 1995 game.

The studio name is also easy to misread because Rayman 2: The Great Escape was likewise credited to Ubi Pictures, while other Rayman ports were assigned to studios such as Ubi Soft Shanghai, Ubi Soft Annecy, and Digital Eclipse.
