Source code of never-released 3D platformer Rayman 4 is leaked

Rayman 4 source code leaked. The game, which never came out, would be new main line Title Rayman, but party game Rayman Raving Rabbids came out instead. The source code comes with a level editor, cutscenes and more.

According to research by Gamerant the source code was posted on 4chan before being further distributed across the internet. It would be an alpha build with source code, models, level editor, cutscenes and “other stuff”. Concerned users, such as Twitter user RibShark, are scouring the leak, looking for the most interesting parts.

According to research by RibShark I am for example driving mechanics present, thus a game mechanic in which Rayman rides on the back of another creature. In the attached screenshot, that’s a giant spider. Also there is a level called sphincter cell, in Dutch kringspiercel, which is a pun on Splinter Cell, another franchise from the same publisher. There is also a level where Rayman has to destroy a giant robot from the inside and in this game he would have a girlfriend, whose 3d model has now also been shown.

Rayman 4 was under development around 2005. Instead, Rayman Raving Rabbids came out. The Rabbids were also going to be in Rayman 4, but played a bigger role in Raving Rabbids, which only got bigger in later games. Raving Rabbids is also a party game, similar to Mario Party, while Rayman 4 would have been more of a “classic” Rayman game. After Raving Rabbids, two titles have come out that are exclusively about Rayman: Rayman Legends and Origins, both 2D platformers. Three of the more Rabbids oriented games have been released.

Looks like there are some semi-complete level concepts here too! Here you enter a rage robot and blast it from the inside! pic.twitter.com/klhOLJLaeP
