The Ubisoft E3 2018 Press Conference is well underway and the publisher has got a lot of strong competition to live up to, with Microsoft and Bethesda bringing some of gaming's biggest current and future titles to the stage. So far though, Ubisoft has managed to hold their own, starting of the showcase with a new trailer for Beyond Good and Evil 2, as well as giving fans some new interesting new information about the game's development.

After the trailer was shown to the crowd, popular actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt took to the stage to announce that his production studio, HitRecord, it teaming up with Beyond Good And Evil 2 developer Ubisoft Montpellier to bring original content, like artwork and music, to the long-awaited sequel.  The best part of all of this, HitRecord won't be making this content, it will all be contributions from fans.
