Beyond good and evil 2 is still in development, although it may not seem like it

Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been announced for many years, but we know very little about it, and it doesn’t seem like we’ll learn much more anytime soon.

Although Ubisoft is best known for its service games, it is also true that in the past they made games that were highly valued by the community. Games that were genuinely loved and sparked interest. One of those games was Beyond Good and Evil. Directed by Michel Ancel, creator of Rayman and director of other great video games, such as Peter Jackson’s King Kong, it is a beloved cult classic by a large part of the players. We have been eager to know about its sequel for a long time.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 was originally announced in 2016, although we wouldn’t see the first full cinematic trailer of the game until E3 2018. Considering that the original game was released in 2003 and that its sequel has been rumored since 2007, it is evident that its development has been, to put it kindly, complicated. Especially because all the news we have had about it since last year are literally a tweet.

The official Twitter account of Beyond Good and Evil 2 has confirmed that, despite its absence from this year’s non-E3, the game is still in development. They did something similar last year, but that doesn’t make fans breathe easier, wondering what’s happening behind the scenes. It’s been six years since we last saw anything from the game, after all.

This is accompanied by the release of a remastered version of the game today, June 25th. Named Beyond Good and Evil Remastered, it is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC. In addition, this commemorative version of the 20th anniversary of the, we assume, franchise, has a quite striking curiosity: when it was announced, one of its main claims was the fact that it would include an extra mission that would link to the story of Beyond Good and Evil 2.

We have no concrete reason to say that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is not yet in development, especially when the official Twitter account says it is, but the lack of information is concerning. Especially given the amount of time they have been working. Either way, it is evident that something is happening behind the scenes and sooner or later we will know. And whatever it is, let’s hope that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is as brilliant and inspiring as its first part.

More than 15 years after its first installment, Beyond Good and Evil 2 arrives, which acts as a prequel to the original story to expand the adventure world created by Ubisoft.

Ubisoft has been making this game for the last 16 years

It was in November 2003 when Ubisoft released a very original and different adventure game with incredible designs that would mark an entire generation: Beyond Good and Evil. Jade’s adventures were a success and its creator, Michel Ancel, said his idea was to turn it into a trilogy. Ubisoft started working on it and in 2008 it was announced that the sequel was in development. And until now.

Beyond time and space

Beyond Good and Evil 2 had a proper trailer at E3 2017, only to be forgotten again. Occasionally contradictory news arrives, such as it being canceled or that they are putting the finishing touches on it. The truth is that there is a lot of silence about it, but the official Twitter account of the game has clarified that we are in a hurry and that we should calm down a bit.

“Yes, Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in development, and we can’t wait for you to discover more about Jade’s past in the 20th Anniversary Edition!” Ironically, Ubisoft is going to release the remaster of the first game to celebrate its two decades of life before the second part, which is already, by the way, the game that has officially spent the longest time in development without being released. It’s better that, at least, it doesn’t come out full of bugs.

Currently, we have limited information, but the day a date is finally set will be a milestone in the history of video games: during this period, the franchise has not tried to be revived with a mobile game, a spin-off, or a puzzle game. That’s all there is. And whether you like it or not, you have to respect those who want to go all in.
