Beyond Good & Evil 2 seems alive and well, but for now, the game has not resurfaced. But to anticipate its release, Ubisoft is offering a nice gift to buyers of BGE 20th Anniversary Edition.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 is one of the biggest Arlesiennes in video games. A term that is not stolen since the game was made official 16 years ago. And in all these years, we have only had a few rare presentations. We do not know if the project still resembles what we had seen, but what is obvious is that the development is extremely complicated. Several important people at the head of this sequel left of their own accord or were pushed aside. An investigation was even launched to shed light on very difficult working conditions.
