I'm also not opposed to the idea of a prequel. The only issue there is it still not answering the cliffhanger on 1.

I'd say there's no chance it's an NX game if it's being talked about right now, but Nintendo and Ubi are weird. There were Zombi U hints ahead of the official reveal, too.

Because as we see it now, the NX will be severely underpowered compared to the rest.
Indeed, they would have waited a few weeks for NX's reveal anyway.
It'd be weird to be an exclusive game.
Honestly after finally playing BGE on XB BC I was left a bit underwhelmed with it. A lot of that probably has to do with the incredibly dated and fiddly camera and stealth controls, but the story also felt bizarrely rushed. Would be interesting to see what a modern successor would look like.

And the fact that's how its been now for quite some time for games, Nintendo platform exclusive or not coming at all. (and I don't see it changing)
We don't even know if NX reveal is 'few weeks' away.

If all of this goes well, I wonder what will be the next seemingly impossible sequel to actually come to fruition.
Chrono Break? A new F-Zero? HALF LIFE 3?

Likely imo. AFAIK Ubisoft is the only company that has South Asians in their games this gen.

But why would Nintendo's power disadvantage hinder the chances of BG&E2 going multiplatform?
If Playtonic can do it with Yooka-Laylee, so can Ubi.
That's not what happened with Rayman Legends.
Well, there is always the option that Nintendo is funding it, ala Bayonetta 2. This would make a good justification for an NX exclusive. I suppose Ubi could agree with that if they had very limited intention to actually make BG&E 2 on their own.

YES!
Hope they bring back Christophe Héral to do the music:

Zombi U was an entirely different game when the Wii U was revealed.

I wonder if Ancel going free agent was the catalyst for Ubisoft to get serious about this game. Whatever it is. They could lose him permanently if this Wild game was a success.
I hope the Ubisoft boycotters remain steadfast after the betrayalton of Rayman Legends.

I'd say this indicates that the NX reveal is happening very soon and Ubisoft is teasing both the game and the console reveal. Art now, full reveal whenever the NX is revealed. The timing adds up.
I expect we will get to know when the NX will be revealed within the next 7 days.
But obviously, nobody knows.
Seeing how he's involved with almost every Ancel project (including WILD), there's almost no doubt that he's going to score this one too.
either NX reveal
or PSX in December I guess
Otherwise you'll see it next year I guess if they want to reveal it at a big event

I have to ask why do people give shit to Nintendo when a game is exclusive on there platform? However, when it comes to Sony no one bats an eye. Yeah it doesn't always occur but regardless people were going crazy over Bayonneta when the game wouldn't have existed if it weren't for Nintendo.
Shouldn't you be happy it fucking exists then getting mad on it being a exclusive.

People get mad regardless when a multiplatform goes exclusive there's not some pass because you're Sony,Nintendo or Microsoft. Thing is people don't take into consideration why! It's now exclusive
Don't worry, Ancel and Héral are like Kojima and Shinkawa. Inseparable!
(artificial) exclusive means less people are able to play the game. Unless you're a console fangirl/-boy or a shareholder, you shouldn't have any interest in third party games being artificially exclusive to one single platform, as it locks out the game from other people who otherwise would be interested in the game.

Wasn't Pey'j always talking about Jade's Dad? I almost don't want to believe, since like Half Life 3 I had absolutely given up hope. But maybe...
Yes, and so did Double H and Pey'j voice actors ^^ :

However, in this case if Nintendo is funding the game that otherwise wouldn't have existed should people really get mad? Would you rather not have the game exist?

If Nintendo is funding the game, people should be mad at Ubisoft.

Where is John Harker?
Well that image seems pretty definitive. I hope this game comes together nicely and gives Ubi a reason to invest in further entries in the series. I think the first game had some rough edges but I always wanted to see how it would evolve in sequels. Maybe if the prequel does well enough we'll get a sequel to the first game's story? Good luck to all the devs involved. I hope it turns out great.
Looking forward to hearing some new music too. Some of those early tracks in the first game really set the tone of the world. A couple favorites:
Home Sweet Home
Hyllian Suite

The game will probably take place between two timelines, the past and future of the first game.
