- The Beyond Good and Evil 2 lead developer has promised that Ubisoft will deliver a remarkable game.
- He reassured the worried fans amid the recent Ubisoft overhaul that affected multiple games.
- The game will remain in development, as it aligns with the publisher’s open-world focus.
Our report late last year showed that Beyond Good and Evil 2 was nowhere near completion, as Ubisoft was still hiring key developers for it. Even then, the highly anticipated project has survived Ubisoft’s latest studio closures and game cancellations.
The creative director behind the game has now reassured fans that it is continuing development smoothly amid the ongoing chaos. In fact, Ubisoft is so confident that it promises to deliver a ‘remarkable’ experience.
Why it matters: A lot is riding on Ubisoft’s Beyond Good and Evil 2, and not abandoning it at this point means the higher-ups are confident in the game. It’s also a relief for many fans to know that the game has not been shelved yet.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 creative director Fawzi Mesmar discussed the Ubisoft changes in a new LinkedIn post, clarifying that it is sailing through the reset.
He is saddened by the cancellations and layoffs, but the team remains committed to making the best sequel it can deliver.
Ubisoft previously clarified that Beyond Good and Evil 2 wasn’t cancelled because the game aligns with its restructured open-world formula. It will remain in development despite consuming over a $500 million budget since work began nearly two decades ago.
Unfortunately, many fans are unsatisfied with the vague response because there’s no release window in sight, so Beyond Good and Evil 2 could still be years away.
While the next Ghost Recon game also survived Ubisoft’s latest purge, the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake was cancelled after being 99% completed; users worry that Beyond Good and Evil 2 could meet a similar fate in the future.
Do you think Beyond Good and Evil 2 will launch in the next few years, given the project’s snail-paced development? Are you looking forward to the game? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
