Beyond Good and Evil 2 still exists, according to Ubisoft financial report

Past Good and Evil 2 was formally introduced at E3 2017. Previous to that, reviews of labor on the sport had existed in some type for a decade or so prior. Nevertheless, by 2016, work on the sport had been placed on hiatus to work on Rayman Legends 2, earlier than being picked up once more. Issues had been trying good for some time, however then sequence creator and lead Michel Ancel left the video games trade to spend time at a wildlife sanctuary. Yeah, that sounds about proper. As such, it’s been simple to imagine that the sport can be allowed to fade into the ether.

Nevertheless, that apparently isn’t the case. In Ubisoft’s first-quarter monetary report launched at this time, Past Good and Evil 2 will get a particular point out. In a bit specifying that the corporate can be increasing their premium choices, the bottom-most entry reads: “Revival of fan-favorite franchise with Past Good and Evil 2.” And, uh, that’s it. That’s all it says. No launch window, no indication on how improvement is progressing or if it’s even being actively labored on. All we all know is that Ubisoft remains to be planning on releasing the sport in some unspecified time in the future and that it’s necessary sufficient to say in a monetary report alongside Far Cry 6, even when it’s solely talked about after the following Mario + Rabbids recreation. Not precisely a precedence, I assume.

Rejoice, for Past Good and Evil 2 nonetheless exists

It appears like a lifetime in the past, however the unique Past Good & Evil launched in November of 2003, or practically 18 years in the past. It obtained a robust essential and fan response, however didn’t promote all that nicely, therefore why it took a decade and a half for the sequel to even get an official announcement. As for mentioned sequel, we’ll must maintain ready till Ubisoft graces us with one other sliver of data. With out Ancel, although, it’s received a good more durable uphill battle from right here. Right here’s to hoping it introduced the appropriate climbing instruments.
