10 Thoroughly Mistreated Video Game Franchises

10. Rayman

By all accounts, Rayman should have been the face of Ubisoft. Perfect as a mascot, the series has had some incredibly beloved games starring the limbless wonder, as he platformed his way through several fun adventures.

But then Rayman hit a roadblock he couldn't get past for a long time:

The Rabbids.

Created as the main enemies for a mainline Rayman game, it got cancelled/reworked into a Wii minigame collection, and that started the full-on Rabbids takeover of the series. Rayman was barely seen for years as the Rabbids invaded everything they possibly could, with their own games, cameos, and even their own cartoon series.

Eventually though, Rayman came back in glorious 2D platformers, earning high praise as some of the best of its genre. However, that glory didn't last long, as after two games Rayman was regulated to mobile, with auto-runners and a brand new adventure of the hero being miniaturized.

The mobile games themselves are fine, but with how loved the character is, it's a shame that Ubisoft seemingly refuses to do right by him.
