Beyond Good and Evil 2’s release date is still uncertain. A new report has revealed that the game is years away from release.
Ubisoft’s long-awaited game Beyond Good and Evil 2continues to have one of the longest development times in gaming. A new report about the game, which was first announced in 2008 and has not been completed for years, shows that the release date is still quite far away. According to Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, the game is currently making “good progress” but has fallen behind Ubisoft’s other major projects. This means that the game can be released in 2027 at the earliest.
Problems in Beyond Good and Evil 2 Development Process
Beyond Good and Evil 2 stands out as one of the games with the longest development process in the gaming world. In 2022, it broke the record in this regard, surpassing Duke Nukem Forever, which previously held the “long development time” record. Problems encountered throughout the game’s development have repeatedly dashed fans’ hopes. However, Ubisoft offered fans a small consolation by releasing Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition last year. Although this special edition seemed to contain some hints for the new game, it fell short of meeting the expectations of a full sequel.
The first version of the game was released in 2003 and received full marks from critics. However, it could not achieve the expected commercial success due to Ubisoft’s marketing strategies at that time. Although the game, which has become a cult classic over the years, has excited fans with the news of its sequel, this expectation has not been met for a long time.
Although Beyond Good and Evil 2 is considered one of Ubisoft’s most ambitious projects, years of development increase the uncertainty over the future of the game. According to Henderson’s report, this game is not included in the list of projects that Ubisoft plans to release by 2026. This means fans will have to wait at least two more years.
If Ubisoft can meet the expectations of fans after this long wait, Beyond Good and Evil 2 may have an unforgettable place in the gaming world. But for now, fans will have to continue to wait patiently. An official statement regarding the future of the game has not been made yet.
