Somehow, Beyond Good and Evil 2 continues to survive wave after wave of turmoil at Ubisoft. First announced way back in 2008, the game's been in various stages of development ever since, and fans have now been waiting 18 years to see it take shape. You might think that, surely, this project would've been one of the casualties of Ubisoft's massive restructure. But no – the publisher insists that the game is still in the works.
When it broke down the restructure earlier this week, Ubisoft listed Beyond Good and Evil as one of the franchises belonging to what it calls Creative House 4. That wasn't quite confirmation that the sequel is still in development, however. And while the list of six canceled games – the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake, four unannounced titles, and a mobile game – couldn't have included BG&E2, it still felt impossible to hope that it would've survived all this.
