Beyond good and Evil 2 are back from the dead again
The face you make when you have waited over 6 years for a new Beyond Good and Evil 2 video.
It´s been over 11 years since Ubisoft released the original Beyond good and evil (Michel Ancel´s baby). And the latest Beyond good and Evil 2 video was released back in 2008 (E3). Since then, BGAE2 has been put on and off the ice more times than i can count.
At first everyone thought the game was dead. Then the project was up and running again. Just to be put on ice shortly after. And it´s been like that since 2008. Back and forth between happening and not happening. But yesterday i heard that Beyond good and Evil 2 might actually happen after all (i read it in the newest edition of PCG).
Then i found a whole bunch of Ubisoft statements of Beyond good and Evil 2. Which i have never seen before. And here they are:
"In many ways, [Beyond Good & Evil] is an inimitable game--it appeals to all generations of gamers and is an inspiration behind many of Ubisoft Montpellier's past and future games," a Ubisoft representative told Polygon. "It's still far too early to give many details about this new title."
"What we can say is that while [25-year Ubisoft veteran Michel Ancel, who designed the original Beyond Good & Evil] and the team at Ubisoft Montpellier are working with the core tenets of BG&E, they're developing something that aspires to push past the boundaries of a proverbial sequel and leverages next-gen technologies to deliver a truly surprising, innovative, and exceptional game," the representative said. "The entire team is excited about the direction this extremely ambitious project is taking, and we'll have more to share later, as it progresses."
Apparently Ancel are stationed at the indie game startup "Wild Sheep" (which are based in Montpellier, France). Where he will be working on the PS4 exclusive title "Wild". But what does that mean for BGAE2? Well, if Wild does really well.
Then Wild Sheep might become the studio that will bring BGAE2 to the shore. This ain´t much, but at least it´s something. There´s still hope...
