Beyond Good And Evil 2 Still In The Works, According To Michel Ancel

I doubt this honestly. Ubisoft would want PS4/X1 sales and they would miss out on that being Nintendo exclusive. If anything, I could picture the game getting money-hatted by MS as a exclusive (like Rise of the TR) or Sony paying for 'PlayStation First' support (aka, the game comes out first on PlayStation, then latter to other systems).

Whatever, I enjoyed the first one but if I cant even be hopeful for half-life three I really have no interest in this game at this point. I was excited for the first two years after they announced it but now I just don't care.
Either get the game done at a decent time after you announce it or cancel the damn thing and work on something else. Stop it with the tease all the time.

That's good news. The post-credits scene at the end of BG&E suggested that the story was unresolved.
I played the game when it came out, and I really enjoyed it. A sequel sound good to me.

Bleh, I don't think a sequel would be what we all want it to be at this point, game design has changed so much since the original it'd be a spiritual successor at best.
There'd be so much modern game design bullshit in there and the fact it's ubisoft... meh
Maybe time to let this one go.

Stop raising my hopes you fucks, either release a full trailer and release date or keep quiet. This George RR martin "oh don't worry beyond good and evil 2 is on its way, any minute now' bs only hurts my feelings

It has been in some manner of on-off development since at least 2008, the question is if it'll ever get out of it.
An NX deal would be lovely. Would make for a nice arc to the Miyamoto story.

He sorta has been freed. Look at how happy he seemed to be while presenting Wild during PGW.

This is even more painful through the comparison with fucking Mario Sunshine.

Don't even want it anymore.
Sure to be filled with that Ubisoft formula taint.

Nothing wrong with evolving with the times (especially since Ancel himself has made it pretty clear that he doesn't just want to repeat BG&E1) and considering the kind of creative person Ancel is & the kind of creative people his team is filled with, I'm sure that even if Ubisoft forced them to add some of their usual BS into BG&E2, it would at least be done in a slightly more interesting manner than the typical Ubisoft game.
I mean, one of the reasons why BG&E2 has supposedly taken this long (in addition to them delaying the project to this generation because of the possibilities the more powerful PS4 & Xbone offer that PS360 were lacking in) is because Ancel has wanted to keep the dev team small to help maintain that creative spark that is often lost in the factory-like development of huge-ass games like Assassin's Creed.

Beyond Good & Evil is one of my favorite games from the PS2/Xbox/GCN generation. Please don't let us down, Ubisoft!

Ancel and his team has been on Rayman and Rabbid stuff for years now, right?
Isn't it possible that resources have been freed up for another project, one that doesn't involve wacky lagomorphs or limbless protagonists, now that none of those games are on the horizon?

Dunno, the Montpellier games have always been kinda free from that and their own thing.

Most of Ubisoft studio's are.
Their only known project right now is supporting Rayman Adventures, which I have to imagine is a small team.
In the past they've done Assassins Creed DLC and helped with Just Dance ports (i think specifically the michael jackson one?) which are also projects that dont strike me as needing the full studio on board
Ubisoft Montpellier has several teams working on differents things. One worked on the past two assassin's creed and their DLC for exemple. Valiant Heart was made there too. The Team "Ancel" which worked on Rayman Origins & Legends is only a part of the studio.
It's known that there is a "big" project that kept them busy for a few years now, but so far nothing has leaked. Could be BG&E 2 or not, who knows?

At this point he can take as long as he wants. I'll be there either way.
