Beyond Good and Evil 2 Confirmed: It’s in development, according to Ubisoft
Beyond Good and Evil 2 is about to inherit the mantle of the White Whale. Why? Since The Last Guardian is actually dropping this year. The good news? Ubisoft has confirmed the title is actually in development.
More than eight years after first being teased to fans and then, more recently, a series of additional teases, Ubisoft and lead designer Michel Ancel have confirmed (by name!) that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is now in development. A post on the original game’s Facebook page revealed this morning that Ubisoft Montpellier is at work with Ancel on the project, putting an end to ambiguous hints about the developer’s current collaboration with Ubisoft.
Beyond the confirmation itself, there are no new details about Beyond Good and Evil 2. Attached to the post is concept art that Ancel recently posted to his Instagram, which begat a spate of similar pre-production shots and other hints that the sequel to the beloved stealth action title was finally on its way.Earlier this week, Ancel wrote on Instagram that the game was “in pre-production — stay tuned!” Yet Ubisoft remained coy about the title, retweeting the designer’s social media posts with winking emojis and refusing to offer concrete details about Ancel’s project at the company.
