That's right, Mega Rayquaza, not Primal Rayquaza, was announced a few days ago on the official Nintendo Pokemon Youtube channel.
From the official site: Rayquaza is said to be somehow connected with the mysteries of Mega Evolution. Now its Mega-Evolved appearance can be revealed at last! The Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza is said to achieve Mega Evolution in a unique way - unlike that of other Pokémon - due to its unique biology. What is this unique method? And what is the mystery of Mega Evolution? All will become clear in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. Rayquaza is a Pokémon distinguished by its high Attack and Sp. Atk. When it Mega Evolves, almost all of its stats get a boost, including these two, and it gains overwhelming power!
Mega Rayquaza has a unique ability called Delta Stream, which prevents the effects of all weather-related moves (Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Hail and Sandstorm) and abilities (Drought, Drizzle, Snow Warning and Sand Stream), as well as making moves super-effective against Flying-type Pokemon deal normal damage for any Flying-type Pokemon in battle. Delta Stream lasts indefinitely as long as Mega Rayquaza remains in battle.
Furthermore, Rayquaza has a signature attack called Dragon Ascent. Despite its name, it is a Flying-type attack, and is said to be the most powerful Flying-type attack so far.
