Because the team making it believes they're making a fun game with the potential to be profitable.
Btw, where are all the "Beyond Good and Evil 2 is never coming out" people now? Where are you hiding?!

Every development team making a game wants to believe they're making a fun game and the no company releases games not to be profitable. Meaningless statement.
What I'm saying is there's no excitement to be had as the game will undoubtedly be scaled way back from what was shown and that crazy scale/ambition was what excited me in the first place. I have no faith in Ubisoft's teams making anything more than a bog standard open world in the template they've used in their past decade of open worlds.

This is the game that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was involved with. I remember people were excited several years ago but I honestly forgot about this game until this post.

Probably best to review games after they release rather than assign metascores to them at this stage in the game.

Playtesting?! Wow does that mean they're actually making progress? Is this game is actually coming out???
I have no interest in metascores, I'm talking about game design and vision, whether something is by the book or moldbreaking. I couldn't care less if your next Sony or Ubi open world gets an 88 or a 95 if its actual gameplay loop is the same bloated checklist enemy camp shit we've had for the last 2 decades, I'm not gonna play it.

This is the most surprising thread of today….I thought for sure this was one of the cancelled titles they failed to list the other day…acting all secretive.

I wonder how many times this project has been rebooted, it's definitively the new Duke Nukem Forever.

They have been working on it for years, obviously they make progress. But to make playtests doesn't imply the game is going to be released soon. Even QA testing can last for a few years.

I’m with you! I though for sure when they announced recent cancellations with two games unannounced that were cancelled, this was one of them. Super happy it’s not. I still feel like this can be among a select few of a generations amazing games….even though pretty much all BG&E 1 fan base is salty about the differences. Change can be good.

My bet is they recruit talent promising they will be doing great creative work on Beyond Good and Evil, then switch them over to modelling broken bricks or something for Assassin's Creed.

Yep it reminds me of what happened with Prey. Just slap the name of an old game on your new game.

Yeah I don't really know what this game is anymore but I am pretty confident it's not going to resolve the cliffhanger at the end of the first game, nor bare much resemblance to it broadly, nor even come from the same people that made it, so while I'm curious and impressed with the ambition, it's not doing much for my nostalgia.

Ubisoft, with 20,324 employees, are hiring? They should be offering an advance course on mismanagement.
They need to re-sell the game all over again, because as far as I'm concerned, I don't know what this game is trying to be right now.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 Still Needs a Few More Years
To us, from seeing footage and gameplay, it's clear that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is probably another couple of years away from its release.

To me, from seeing footage and gameplay, it’s clear that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is probably another couple of years away, but that’s not that long if you’ve been waiting 15 years already. Ubisoft is scheduled to show off a new showcase event this September, but it’s unclear if the event will feature Beyond Good and Evil 2. Recent external playtests could indicate that the team is gearing up for some kind of reveal, but no rumors or official comments have been made thus far.
