Ubisoft must have woken up and thought, 'You know what, we're just gonna tell the world Rayman is getting a new racing event, and we'll release it tomorrow to blow everyone's minds'. They've taken to social media, including YouTube Shorts, to advertise Rayman's return in a super short video, but it's definitely captured our attention!

The clip is less than 10 seconds long, but seeing Rayman bobbing along in a car and flipping over was all we needed, in all honesty. The post has been shared in collaboration with 'The Crew Motorfest' on X. It's unclear at the minute whether they've just helped to push a new racer for Rayman, or whether Rayman is going to feature in an in-game event in the new Crew Motorfest season. I would be inclined to think the second, as their branding is also on the video posted on X, but we'll see!

All I know is that we'll find out tomorrow, August 19th. There's no time mentioned, so I guess it's just a waiting game! But as soon as I know more, I'll let you know here!
