Beyond Good & Evil Leaked And The Future Of the Franchise
It is often referred to as a franchise because Ubisoft has been hard at work on a sequel to Beyond Good & Evil for almost 20 years. The first trailer for the sequel came out in 2008 and then went radio silent for almost a decade before showing up at E3 2017 and the following year as well.
Ubisoft confirmed that Beyond Good & Evil 2 would be a prequel to the original game, and at the time, it seemed its release was just around the corner. But then it vanished yet again and with Ubisoft churning away when it comes to other IPs, it seems Beyond Good & Evil 2 is in some form of development hell.
What further cements the fact that the game is in development hell is a report that confirmed that Ubisoft managing director Guillaume Carmona left the studio. On top of that, dozens of developers took their leave because of stress, and technically, Beyond Good & Evil 2 wasn’t even considered to be in pre-production at Ubisoft. With no complete vision for the project being set, and the creative director for the game, Emile Morel passing away at 40 in July 2023, it is fair to assume it will remain stuck for a very long time.
