Ubisoft announced that since the last Space Monkey Report, the Beyond Good and Evil 2 team has been working hard on the game, and now they’re ready to show some of their progress. The latest check-in features new footage on how players can navigate the world via jetpack and ship, and how groups of co-op players can stay close together when traveling at high speeds by forming an armada. Additionally, you’ll get a fresh look at how melee combat is coming together, with a taste of some work-in-progress footage of Shani showing off some elaborate combat moves with her staff.
Check out the gameplay video of Beyond Good and Evil 2, featuring some new gameplay footage:
“Beyond Good and Evil 2 is an upcoming action-adventure video game in development by Ubisoft Montpellier and to be published by Ubisoft, it is a prequel to 2003’s Beyond Good & Evil. Its development was characterized in the media by uncertainty, doubt and rumours about the game’s future, until it was officially announced at Ubisoft’s E3 2017 conference, although no release window or target platform has been revealed.
Gameplay
Beyond Good and Evil 2 is an action-adventure game set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective which takes place a few generations prior to the events of Beyond Good & Evil. It has more traditional role-playing elements compared to the first game; the player will generate a character that starts the game “at the very bottom of the social system”. The character can be male or female. As the player completes various tasks, they will improve in various attributes, and gain spacecraft and crew members which they can also improve over time. The player will visit planets that have their own societies, and by completing tasks on these planets, will gain new technologies or other facets to improve their spacecraft. Its director, Michel Ancel, said that they do anticipate that there will be a narrative element that includes fixed story events as well as events based on what decisions the player had made in exploring planets.
The game will have single-player and cooperative player support; even as a single-player, the player can participate in a shared universe, with some events affecting all players at the same time.
