The Art & Design of Rayman
The Collector's Edition of 'Into the Glade of Dreams: The Art & Design of Rayman' is only available during pre-order which ends Christmas 2025!
Now entering his fourth decade, Rayman stands as one of the most original and enduring video game characters ever made. Springing seemingly fully-formed from the colorful imagination of Michel Ancel and his team in the mid-90s, Rayman quickly established himself as a signature Ubisoft character recognizable the world over for his floating hands and feet, infectious charm, and zany humor.
This new art book celebrates 30 years of Rayman’s creative journey in an in-depth, richly illustrated 250-page hardcover volume, tracing his path from earliest sketches and pixelated beginnings to the bold, painterly worlds of Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, and beyond. Every stage of his transformation is explored through rare concept art, character studies, design documents, and development anecdotes from the artists and designers who brought him to life.
But Rayman’s story is not his alone. The book also shines a light on the unforgettable cast of characters who have accompanied him through the years—friends, foes, and fantastical creatures alike. Their designs and stories reveal the artistry and inventiveness that have always defined the Rayman universe.
Told in part as an oral history, the book is filled with behind-the-scenes insights, humorous production stories, and reflections from the people who shaped Rayman’s world. It is both a visual celebration and a definitive companion for fans, artists, and anyone who appreciates the craft of game design.
Much more than an art book, this is a tribute to one of gaming’s most imaginative universes—an exploration of how a limbless hero with a big smile captured the hearts of players across generations.
'Into the Glade of Dreams: The Art and Design of Rayman' is brought to you by Cook & Becker, the publisher behind the lauded official art books for SONIC THE HEDGEHOG and PAC-MAN as part of their 'Video Game Icons' series.
