It has come to light that the 3D platformer Rayman 4, which was abruptly canceled by Ubisoft, along with the game’s editor and its source code, has been leaked.
The team opted to continue ahead with the Rabbids series once it proved successful for the company. As a result, Rayman was eventually sidelined in favor of the troublesome animals. The Rayman adventure was canceled when the Wii console was released. You may see the photographs and videos that have been leaked from Rayman 4 that were given by the Twitter user RibShark on their own Twitter account.
Looks like there's some actual semi-complete level concepts in here too! Here you enter a rabbid robot and blow it up from inside! pic.twitter.com/klhOLJLaeP

There are a number of fascinating elements, such as Rayman being able to ride about on a big spider, a variety of crazy test levels, and even a nude Rayman skin. All of these may be found in the game.
Rayman 4 … what is and what happened?
Rayman 4 is a third-person platformer video game that was created by Phoenix Interactive Entertainment for Ubisoft. The Ubisoft Montpellier team was supposed to work on Rayman 4, but they decided to go on to other projects instead. This would have made Rayman 4 the first primary Rayman game not to be produced by them. The release date was originally set for October 3rd, 2006, however it was moved. Rayman 4 was supposed to be available on the PlayStation 2, the personal computer, the GameCube, the Xbox, and a brand new 7th generation system.
2005 marked the commencement of the project with the creation of concept drawings for a variety of landscapes and characters to be used in the game. A preliminary draft of the tale may have been written at this stage, despite the fact that the plot is mainly unknown. During the pre-production phase of the game, a significant amount of work was done in the areas of programming, modeling, texturing, and creating special effects.
The majority of what is now known about Phoenix’s Rayman 4 originates from early concept artwork for the game, which has progressively become public knowledge in the years following the cancellation of the game. It portrays scenes that are far more bizarre and colorful than those that were shown in early photos and trailers for Rayman Raving Rabbids; many of these Rayman 4 locations were 3D recreations of locales from the first Rayman game.
Ubisoft presented Rayman Raving Rabbids to the public for the first time in May of 2006. This new 3D platformer was being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier under the guidance of series originator Michel Ancel. Due to the fact that Rayman 4 was also the working title of Rayman Raving Rabbids, there has been a great deal of uncertainty about the connection between both titles.
Rayman’s future
It’s a terrible tragedy that Rayman 4 had to be scrapped and made way for the Rabbids, but the good news is that you’ll be able to see him again in the downloadable content for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope later on this year.
