Last week, Ubisoft officially unveiled its remaster of Beyond Good and Evil and highlighted its connections to the long-awaited follow-up . Now, the publisher has fully confirmed the implication: Beyond Good and Evil 2 remains in the works.
“Yes, Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in development,” the devs say in a tweet thread answering questions about the remaster, “and we cannot wait for you to discover more about Jade’s past in the 20th Anniversary Edition!”
As best I can tell, this is the first official, fan-facing communication Ubisoft has provided on Beyond Good and Evil 2 since July 2020. At that time, the devs told fans that “in-game footage, Space Monkey Report livestreams, and our presence at events – whether digital or in-person – will be extremely limited for the time being.”
That’s a promise the devs have certainly lived up to. Since that post, Ubisoft’s only acknowledgements of Beyond Good and Evil 2 have been in financial reports , and even those mentions have gotten progressively fewer and further between. Leaks have suggested that the game continues to progress , though some reports paint a less than rosy picture of conditions at the studio .
First announced with a teaser trailer way back in 2008, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is now the game with the longest development period ever , having surpassed the infamous Duke Nukem Forever’s 14 year record in 2022. Here’s hoping the game manages to keep that record, too – it’s all for naught if it ends up quietly canceled.
There’s been one rock-solid constant among our list of upcoming Ubisoft games .
