Report: Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still \u201cyears away\u201d UbisoftSources allegedly familiar with Beyond Good and Evil 2\u2019s development claim the sequel is still many years out from release. Ubisoft and its Montpellier-based production team formally unveiled the title during E3 2017. A teaser trailer accompanied the news, as did a few details about the story and co-op features. Nothing of substance has come out of the project since then, however. And its internal development woes have critics and players alike wondering if it\u2019ll ever see the light of day. Notably, series creator Michel Ancel resigned in 2020, reportedly due to allegations of workplace misconduct. The claims, which Ancel denied, insist his toxic behavior directly impacted Beyond Good and Evil 2\u2019s troubled production cycle. Though Ubisoft noted in a July 2021 financial report that development was \u201cprogressing well,\u201d new details indicate the wait for the sequel won\u2019t end anytime soon. Beyond Good and Evil 2\u2019s release is still years out Writing for eXputer, industry insider Tom Henderson said the sources he\u2019s spoken to believe the game is \u201cyears away\u201d from launch and in desperate need of direction. Another of Henderson\u2019s sources claimed they had \u201cno idea what [they were] doing when playing.\u201d Having seen footage and screenshots of the work-in-progress, Henderson thinks the final product is out at least two years out. This particular update comes weeks after Beyond Good and Evil 2 reportedly began external playtesting. And just last week, former WoW Narrative Designer, Sarah Arellano, announced she\u2019d joined the BGE2 crew as Lead Writer. If there\u2019s still story content to be written, it makes sense that Beyond Good and Evil 2\u2019s release won\u2019t soon grace store shelves. Hopefully, those who\u2019ve waited for nearly 20 years can stand to hold out for a little while longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
