You know how animals can sense storms before they happen? That's me right now. It's coming. I can feel it in the air.
You know… I smell something iffy in the air… something related to a children’s toy

Only eight (08) days left until Halloween. Today is probably the last feasible day this week for an announcement of the announcement.

Interesting that now +30% of people here don't believe in October. As far as I'm aware there hasn't been any signs or smoke in favor or against a reveal this month, yet.
Wouldn't today be the most feasible given the announcement would be for tomorrow which is a Thursday? I think next Monday is the most likely for an announcement with presentation on Tuesday but today would be my 2nd bet.

I think maybe the reason why more people don't believe in October is because there are less days left in the month at this point, just a week essentially.
 
Could NoE not having tweeted anything so far mean anything? Typically they have at least 1 or 2 tweets by now

Gotta respect Ubisoft and making the Switch the lead platform, when it comes to these games.

I’m shocked that Rayman isn’t dead, hopefully it’ll get a better fate then Rayman legends, in which it was delayed because of the Wii U failing and was shoe horn in a crowded months.
 
Only thing speaking against it happening, is the unlikeliness the announcement being so similar to Switch (Same week and Month). But for now (this week), I‘m team October.
After analyzing this, a similar announcement would have been last week (week 42 of the year, not the last full week of the month, closest Thursday to October 20th). We're now in week 43 (last full week of the month) so doing it this week is actually different than the Switch reveal.

And if we talk in investor's related terms, then next week is actually the most similar date, not the current one. Because the meeting was on a Wednesday, six (06) days after the reveal, this would mean an October 30 or October 31 reveal. This week was actually the unlikely week after all, hehe.
It is a strange thought/idea that a company would almost 1:1 mimic the strategy and timelines they used for the previous product for their new upcoming one.

Not unbelievable or impossible, but strange.

E: Especially since it's common knowledge that initially, Switch 1 had that "usual" launch timeframe for consoles, Fall, and had to be delayed because their launch games weren't ready by that time. (Or rather weren't in a state that Nintendo was okay with.)
If they don't mimic or try the successful Switch strategy (apparently even including the delay, hehe) then everything is possible. The expectations were either an earlier reveal (August-September) to start mass production earlier and still launch by March, or a later release (April-May) to have enough units available.

We're currently in the second scenario (same Switch reveal week ± 1 week) and a later than early-March launch. But if it's unlikely they'll do the same thing again, then a reveal next year is just as likely. Will they aim for the usual Fall launch that Microsoft/Sony use, or a weird Q3 launch? Only a few days to know.
 
Supposed to be a remake of Rayman 3. But since it's taking longer than BG&E and now have more headcount in its team, I suspect the scope is bigger.
"Taking longer than BG&E"

haha

it's funny because that game is being mentioned as though it's ever coming out.

Slight grammar mistake… too lazy to fix it
