Six years after its formalization and all the beautiful promises of Michel Ancel (who, since 2020, has retired from the video game industry), Beyond Good & Evil 2 would still be alive. This is indeed what ensures Tom Henderson who,
last summer, already claimed that both internal and external test sessions were being held. The man returns with a number of additional details, and the news is not necessarily good since if the playtests did indeed continue, the French publisher would have specified to the participants that the development of Beyond Good & Evil 2 does not was still just in its infancy. Besides,
Insider Gaming was able to get their hands on images and a video taken from the demo, and according to Tom Henderson’s explanations, if Ubisoft is still talking about early development when the game has been in production for fifteen years now , it’s simply because the site would have nothing to do with the pre-alpha demo unveiled at E3 2018.
Clearly, the project would have been rebooted and would display a lower level of detail and visual quality. The planets would beempty” and composed of “small areas“, with in particular “blocked structures“. In short, given the state of progress of the project, it will probably have to wait a few more years before Beyond Good & Evil 2 arrives at home. Of course, Insider Gaming contacted Ubisoft for the question on the subject, and the teams of Yves Guillemot wanted to show confidence by recalling that the developers continue to work hard to keep the promises of 2016.
In the meantime, we recall that last month, Beyond Good & Evil 2 became the game with the longest development, thus dethroning Duke Nukem Forever and his 14 years. A sad record in the French publisher would certainly have gone well.
