What’s the Latest in Beyond Good and Evil 2?

In the planned sequel, the unique universe will be transported to a huge and complex open world, still with space pirates and pig mutants. Fans are promised a shared world MMO experience and a dynamic world that we help shape with our decisions. But so far it is little more than a beautiful dream.

What is the current situation?

• The first speculation about Beyond Good Evil 2 flared up as early as 2007 and leaks were not exactly rare.
• But the official announcement didn’t come until ten years later at E3 2017.
• In 2019, Ubisoft announced a change in direction for the game.
• Since then, there has been little real news for a long time until Ubisoft sent a tweet in the form of a spaceship with the hashtag #BGE2 as a sign of life in 2021.
• A short time later, however, industry insider Tom Henderson spoke up and prophesied: The game is about to end. From the start, there was a disagreement on a creative vision, which was exacerbated by the departure of game director Michel Ancel in 2020.
• According to Henderson’s anonymous source, Beyond Good Evil 2 may be discontinued soon. Since then, fans have been waiting for an official statement from Ubisoft.
• Henderson also recently talked about a supposedly planned Ubisoft event where there could well be an official announcement about Beyond Good Evil 2.
