Ubisoft has set out its gamescom 2026 plans for Cologne, built around a playable Rayman Legends Retold demo and a returning Community Lounge. The booth is open to visitors from August 27 to 30 in Hall 6.1, booth CO11 B010.
The Rayman demo is hands-on, and its contents are specified
Unusually for a show announcement, Ubisoft published what the demo contains rather than only that one exists. The hands-on runs about 20 minutes and covers the first level, a dragon ride and what the company calls a fan-favourite musical level. The booth carries 15 two-player couch co-op stations, so the demo is set up for paired play rather than single queueing, alongside an oversized inflatable Rayman.
Rayman Legends Retold is described as an expansion of the 2013 game rather than a straight remaster, adding 3D visuals, a new story and fully voiced cinematics. Ubisoft has not attached a release date to it in this announcement.
Five sessions in the Community Lounge
The lounge programming is specific enough to plan around. Ubisoft lists developer panels for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and Assassin's Creed Shadows, a Rainbow Six Siege Community Checkpoint broadcast live from the show, a new DLC and content announcement for Anno 117: Pax Romana, a roadmap update for The Division 2, and Rayman anniversary celebrations with further reveals.
For anyone tracking a particular game, the Anno DLC announcement and The Division 2 roadmap are the two items most likely to carry news that outlasts the show itself.
How to follow it without attending
Daily talk and panel schedules are posted on screens at the booth rather than published in advance, so on-site timing is not something visitors can lock in beforehand. Remote viewers get a partial substitute: from August 26 to 29, one day earlier than the booth opening, Ubisoft streams selected sessions on its Twitch and YouTube channels. Which sessions are selected is not stated.
What the announcement does not promise
A published line-up confirms intent, not outcome. Ubisoft does not guarantee queue capacity or that every attendee will reach a demo station, does not commit to release dates for anything shown, and reserves the usual room for schedule changes. NexusGG has not attended the event or played the demo.
