Some of you may remember that many moons ago, Ubisoft announced Beyond Good & Evil 2. It's a follow-up that fans of the original have wanted for years, yet, it seems to still be a ways off. According to a report from Bloomberg, it hasn't even left pre-production.
Yep, that's right. A game that was announced back in 2017 may still be in pre-production. That means some form of development is under way, but the core structure of the game is still being figured out by Ubisoft.
We must stress that this just a report. After months of silence, Beyond Good & Evil 2 did get an update in September 2020. Then, Ubisoft said that "core development" had begun, but it didn't really detail how far along that process was.
In either case, don't expect this one for some time. Beyond Good & Evil 2 looks like it's sinking into a form of development hell; a recurring theme for Ubisoft as of late. Oh well, they've got another Assassin's Creed coming soon!
Do you think Beyond Good & Evil 2 will actually release? Let us know your thoughts.

i loved the first one owned it on the gamecube and rebought it not long ago in a ubi sale for like 5$ still fun game but the second one im starting to think is gonna be a disaster it seems like when games take this long to get into actual production the games suck....ANTHEM is one that comes to mind that took forever to get actually making the game.
I was looking forward to this game but gave up hope after a few years
this game is never coming out lol
They definitely lost the plot. They need to take a look at what made the original one popular in the first place... and do it again but bigger and better. Sequel 101.
Ubishyte and their vaPOOware. I'll be more than happy to eat my words, but til then..
Sounds like the game is in development hell...
Modern game development: Decide on a cool art style and world. Figure out what game to make with it later.
Let's remind everyone this is the game they tried to crowdsource the fans to make the art, and then the creator/director quit and ran into the woods to become a wildlife explorer....
I've never understood this sequel. The Art direction looked great. But thematically and the plot? What is this? Why is everyone suddenly swearing like a sailor? Weird direction to take an old favorite.
Has it really been five years? I thought it was much longer than that! I loved the first one. Don’t have hopes for the second. It was totally going in the wrong direction.
