Ubisoft Beyond Good and Evil 2: Beyond Prequels and Reboots

[Gee]

Game director Michel Ancel has left Ubisoft.

An Update on Beyond Good & Evil 2

 

[psylockolussus]

Finally some update.

 

[Gee]

Oh Ubisoft...

 

[Sithborg]

It is rotten to the very core. I don't know how you can fix it without burning the place down.

Yves Guillemot has to leave, at the very least. All of this **** has been happening under his leadership.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 Still in Development But Won't be Releasing Soon

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

Vaporware of the decade award goes to...

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Let this incarnation go...as I said almost 5 years ago here.


Maybe some future day this company is bought out by somebody that's not as much of a **** show and then a proper sequel can be made with or without Ancel but in the mean time why bother. There's stuff out there like Kena carrying the torch from other folks.

 

[psylockolussus]

Its probably best to just cancel it. A game from a major studio shouldn't take this long.

Ouch

Beyond Good And Evil 2 Studio Head No Longer At Ubisoft

The studio told staff last week that managing director Guillaume Carmona, who had previously been absent since the beginning of the year, would not be returning and had left the company. No reason was provided citing legal confidentiality. Carmona, a nearly two-decade veteran of Ubisoft who began in marketing, left its Paris office in 2019 to become head of the studio best known for creating Rayman. Carmona declined to comment when asked about why he was not longer at Ubisoft.

His departure comes after a year which saw dozens of developers at Montpellier going out on extended leave for stress or sickness, including many leads, according to three sources familiar with the studio’s operations. Some came back, while others eventually left the studio altogether, eventually sparking a visit from the French labor inspection office last December.

And the lifetime achievement in vaporware goes too...

Damn, this game is cursed.

ESRB rates Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Switch, and PC

Oh yeah the great game from 2003 they still remember it exists (I already have and completed the HD remaster from 10 years ago.)

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

I mean, we're never getting 2, so may as well milk the masterpiece that is the first one.

 

[psylockolussus]

Another game that should have been ported to ps4/xb1 a long time ago.

Assassin's Creed 1 when?

It's too bad BG&E2 has looked very lame since they rebooted while in development hell as some GAAS No Man's Sky-style tech demo looking prequel game to BG&E where Jade is the villain.

 

[psylockolussus]

I watched the 2018 gameplay video, and it looked so ahead of its time. 6 years later, there's still no game...

I wish they would just officially announce its cancelation than just radio silence.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Will the link to Beyond Good & Evil 2 just be a title screen saying, finally, that the game isn't happening?

Didn't play the first one, but I'm aware of its cult classic status

There's a remastered version of it out for modern hardware. Worth playing, but this sequel is never going to see the light of day.
