As you know there were some rumors of BGE2 being canned, but we have something that proves it isn't the case:



Ubisoft Barcelona, one of the teams behind BGE2 and others like Rainbow Siege or several Assassin's Creed games, like any other studio regularly from time to time posts job offers and sometimes they mention the related project. In this case, as they did for years they recently posted a BGE2 related job offer, which obviously means they continue working on it. There are two Ubisoft Barcelona studios:

One is the mentioned here that develop AAA games, located just in front of the beach (if you ever visited the city for the Primavera Sound music festival, it's in the white tower next to the entrance):


The other one develops mobile games, it was located next to the cathedral but moved to be next to other iconic building of the city (the multi colored dildo shaped one):



P.S.: I did work there for years, even if I left years ago I frequently meet friends from there from time to time. A fantastic city to live in and both are great teams. So if you're a dev I suggest you to check out their open job offers.

I understand why they’re trying out new tech and making strides with it, but I just don’t understand why they’d use the BG&E I.P. to do this with. Did BG&E fans even want a sequel this massive?

I’m hoping the game can see the light of day before the year 2030.

 

[Javthusiast]

Nice that they still try, but I am not gonna hold out hope for a good product in the end should it ever come out.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Dead game.

Pls, the premise of this game sounds so neat

A fantastic city to live in

Probably the best european city for quality of life.

I had my concerns but this post showed me the error of my ways

 

[Magic Carpet]

It would make a nifty TV series.
All that CGI.

I honestly though this game was dead.

Activision Blizzard's diversity and inclusion tools is about to shit the bed.

I remember from them is they had fun CGI but thats it.

2019 was a different time?

This would not be the first time people were hired to work on a dead game.

Development hell

 

[Kuranghi]

Where was she even keeping that CD case? Flat against her stomach? Must've felt really weird. I do like the way her boob flops/slumps on the pig-man's muscley arm though, nice.

 

[Umbasaborne]

After seeing starfield, which is going for a similar open planet approach with hand crafted locations buit into them. I wonder if the bge2 team will feel more confident, knowing they arent gonna have to go first, and they can learn what to avoid with any procedural generation issues starfield may have

 

[BossLackey]

We are so far removed from the original game in literally every aspect. Why even call it Beyond Good and Evil 2?! That game was significantly more niche than I think some people realize and that came out twenty years ago.

This project absolutely baffles me.

 

[Skifi28]

I misread the title as "they are hiding", but then I realised it's true.

This game is going or has gone the way of Agent

Rumor is it's a Playstation 8 exclusive.

Ubisoft Lists Beyond Good and Evil 2 as 'In Active Development'

Despite rumors of development hell and cancellations, Ubisoft still wants fans to know that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is in the works.

gamerant.com

According to Ubisoft, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is currently included in a list of announced projects that are in active development. Previously, Ubisoft has confirmed that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is in the works, but to hear that it is in active development implies that the game has not been shelved, which has some fans believing that Ubisoft is gearing up for an announcement on the title.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Hey, remember when they asked the fans to help with the game by submitting art or something along those lines? Wonder what happened with that.

 

[saturnalian]

Edit, wrong quote

 

[kiphalfton]

I get the impression these guys just sit around the office all day and do nothing. Sign me up!

 

[Iced Arcade]

not bad, a decade later, half the fans are in retirement homes who played the 1st.

 

[Buggy Loop]

'Member Joseph Gordon-Levitt walking on stage for crowd sourcing the art and music? With a budget of $50,000 split for all artists that might have their art used? LOL

I don't believe Ubisoft can release this game.

 

[Ribi]

scam, vaporware

I understand why they’re trying out new tech and making strides with it, but I just don’t understand why they’d use the BG&E I.P. to do this with. Did BG&E fans even want a sequel this massive?

Ah yes BG&E fans. All 3 of us lol.

 

[Spukc]

Just fucking die ubi

 

[March Climber]

Ah yes BG&E fans. All 3 of us lol.

My point was that I and others just wanted a plain old good sequel, not a new engine test masked as a game that's been teased to us for almost a decade. I've had the same feelings when Epic Games kept teasing and hinting at a new Unreal Tournament whenever they wanted to test out a new and exciting engine feature. It's almost a high level form of mockery for those who have waited and asked for so long.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Just kill it, this is going to end up like DNF. I remember that revival trailer looking pretty cool 5 years ago but now...what they are going to change engines to update the game? Just let it die.

 

[DragoonWalker]

Why bother? With Ancel gone the ambition is most certainly gone as well. Now Ancel was a hypeman like Molyneaux and Howard, but sometimes that paid off. Without someone like that the game will most certainly be at the total mercy of suits, aka a funnel for MTX and NFTs and lootboxes, and not have the same grand ambition only a visionary could push.

Whatever comes out at the end of the tunnel, it's not gonna bear any resemblence to the awesome concept lies we've been fed over the years, so again, why bother?

 

[fermcr]

Meh... likely another online game infested with DLC and Micro-transactions.

This game has a curse. It's been too long with delays and development issues
