Beyond Good & Evil 2: Too early for a release date
Beyond Good & Evil 2
Although the development studio Ubisoft Montpellier seems to be working on another, as yet unannounced title, according to a job advertisement, the long-awaited Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in development and, contrary to expectations, has not yet been crushed. This message does not mean that one should therefore hope for news let alone a release date - on the contrary.Recommended editorial content Here you will find external content from [PLATTFORM].

A shimmer of light on the very distant horizon
The fact that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still not off the table, but rather is in development, is good news. This emerges from Ubisoft's quarterly financial report. However, Beyond Good & Evil fans will have to be patient for a while. Since the announcement in 2017, there has been largely radio silence about the title. An update from Ubisoft confirms that nothing will change in the near future.This was revealed by Ubisoft's Chief Financial Officer Frederick Duguet. When asked if Beyond Good & Evil 2 (buy now) would appear in Ubisoft's Fiscal Year 2024 (after May 1, 2023), Duguet replied, "We're making good progress with Beyond Good & Evil 2, but it's still closed early to say more about it. " So even though they are working hard, Beyond Good & Evil 2 still seems a long way from being released.
Fans can breathe a sigh of relief, Ubisoft has not given up the title yet. At the same time, excited players should look for creative ways to shorten the waiting time. It should be really long.

In its report of the Q1 FY22, Ubisoft has confirmed that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still happening. And, furthermore, that it has “ambitious” plans for the game.
Ubisoft first announced Beyond Good and Evil 2 in the late 1800s—no, wait, that’s not right. After living in a kind of development purgatory since the release of the original, in 2003, the sequel was properly unveiled in 2017. Check out the announcement trailer here.
Since then, we haven’t heard much from it. We did get a gameplay update video, in 2018:
Ubisoft CFO Frederick Duguet was asked whether the game might be available in the fiscal year 2024. To which he said, “We are progressing well with Beyond Good and Evil 2, but it’s too early to tell you more at this stage.” (via PC Gamer.)
Michel Ancel, the director of the much-celebrated original, has left Ubisoft—and, indeed, the games industry. He announced, last year, that he intended to open a wildlife sanctuary, which seems like a fantastic reason to quit game development.
Ubisoft did make it clear, at the time, that Ancel’s involvement with Beyond Good and Evil 2 had already ended. If you’re excited to play the game—and why wouldn’t you be; it’s got cheeky chimps in it—you may sadly have to wait a while yet.
