In a recent tweet from the Beyond Good and Evil Twitter account, Ubisoft reiterated that the upcoming sequel Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still in development, despite the game being originally announced in 2009. “Yes, Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in development, and we cannot wait for you to discover more about Jade’s past in the 20th Anniversary Edition,” said the publisher. According to a past report from Exputer, rumors from external playtesting for Beyond Good and Evil 2 say the game reportedly feels “years away” and “lacks direction.” Beyond Good and Evil 2 had a second announcement at E3 2017 announcing that the game is now a prequel to the first game. A release date and platforms for the game have still yet to be revealed.
The game’s details via Ubisoft can be seen below:
The world—or rather worlds—of Beyond Good & Evil are back on the horizon with the unveiling of Beyond Good and Evil 2, a prequel and spiritual successor to the beloved 2003 classic. Beyond Good and Evil 2 invites players to explore System 3, a vast solar system and a hub of interstellar colonization and commerce in the 24th century—and fans have a chance to help shape it by taking a role in the development process.
System 3, as it turns out, is a place where limited resources are viciously warred over by various private enterprises. The struggle for survival amid a rich milieu of evolved species and diverse cultures from Old Earth creates an ideal environment for space piracy, as a new generation of captains rise up to carve out a piece of the galaxy for themselves.
As you rise from lowly pirate to legendary captain, you’ll traverse System 3 at light speed to explore freely on your own or with friends. Presenting its solar system as a massive, seamless online environment, Beyond Good and Evil 2 gives players the chance to dive into the foundations of the franchise’s universe while traveling between diverse planets and moons in search of adventure.
