Back in June, Ubisoft promised us for the 29th time—yes, we counted—that Beyond Good and Evil 2, which has somehow been in development since 2008, is still happening. Today, we bump that number up by one, making it a nice, round 30, because the game now has a new creative director, Fawzi Mesmar, who Ubisoft says has more than 20 successful game launches to his credit.
Mesmar's LinkedIn page indicates he took over as creative director on Beyond Good and Evil 2 sometime this month, which Ubisoft confirmed in a statement to Kotaku.
