Beyond Good & Evil 2 Development Confirmed by Michel Ancel

GR: "Beyond Good & Evil 2 is being actively developed at Ubisoft."

[Infernostew]

Awesome if true! The first game is up there as one of my favorites last gen and the HD port really chalked up interest in the game so I'm glad they're going ahead with the sequel. I really hope this one is longer than the first game since it took me about 8-10 hours to 100% the first one. Too bad we probably won't be seeing this game launch for another 2 or so years. I really hope this is going to retail and not a PSN/XBLA release.

This is actually the first game to ever be confirmed as a next gen title a few years ago. Even on ign it was marked as a next gen ps4 game. http://ps3.ign.com/objects/...

just recently they also made it for pc and next gen xbox.

I'm surprised not that many people knew about this. And they call me a "Poor excuse for a gamer" sigh

This game was announced 4 years ago for this generation but vanished, reappeared, then vanished again. I hope it doesn't vanish again and they actually finish it whether it be this generation or the next as long as the game is done right.

This will make me a very happy man, if true. Beyond Good & Evil is an awesome game.

[Dark_Overlord]

Finally!!!

Looking forward to this, the first was a great game :)

[LiamIRL82]

In my best Sheldon Impression.....HUZZAH!!

[GodHandDee]

I thought they confirmed this a little while back as well?

[-Gespenst-]

Hell yes! I don't care when it's coming out just so long as it's being, as they say, actively developed.

[ShaunCameron]

I guess that means Rayman Origins sold well enough for Ubisoft to consider making BG&E2. Glad to hear it.

[stragomccloud]

Come on Wii U! The controller as a camera!!!

[ronin4life]

I have a strange feeling that it will be a wiiu game.
Maybe not an exclusive, but until we hear more about the other next gen consoles the wiiu and pc are the best bets.

[gumgum99]

Exactly the news I like to hear.

Don't know if this is actually news. The interview is from 2011.

Translation of YouTube video linked in NeoGAF thread: "Interview with Michel Ancel and Christophe Heral conducted Sunday, *November 27, 2011* at the latest Toulouse Game Show."

Not to mention that Ancel previously told Joystiq that BG&E2 would require next-gen horsepower.

It will be an FPS with multiplayer because adventure games dont sell.

http://www.youtube.com/watc... Remember watching this a few years ago, if real very impressive

[interrergator]

huh oh yea that game still in development?

[Spenok]

HELL YEA!!! I cant wait to see this game come out. I'd glad they decided to release BG&E on Xbox live and PSN. I can almost guarantee was one of the main reasons they decided to unshelf this project.
