Fans were initially excited when a sequel to the action-adventure title Beyond Good and Evil was announced. Officially unveiled in 2017 at Ubisoft's E3 conference with plenty of teases before then, Beyond Good and Evil 2 seeks to give players a different experience from the original game, with plenty more RPG elements and a more ambitious approach to gameplay and graphics. However, since Beyond Good and Evil 2 was unveiled, fans have found plenty of doubt and uncertainty in regard to its development.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 is one of many games currently rumored to be in development hell, with current estimates alleging that the title has been worked on for over a decade. With many fans now all but ready to hear that the upcoming RPG has been canceled, it seems Ubisoft is still firmly in the belief that Beyond Good and Evil 2 will release, even mentioning it in a recent annual Q&A meeting. While it isn't exactly surprising that the game came up in conversation, some fans will be pleased to hear what Ubisoft said about it.
According to Ubisoft, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is currently included in a list of announced projects that are in active development. Previously, Ubisoft has confirmed that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is in the works, but to hear that it is in active development implies that the game has not been shelved, which has some fans believing that Ubisoft is gearing up for an announcement on the title.
Early in 2022, a job listing had some fans believing that Beyond Good and Evil 2 could be in its final stages of development. While that does seem like quite the optimistic view, especially with the implication of Ubisoft stating the game is in active development meaning there is work to be done, it doesn't seem entirely out of the question for some new Beyond Good and Evil 2 content to be on its way. Whether that is in the form of a cinematic trailer, gameplay, or something else, many will merely be pleased to know the game isn't on the edge of being canceled.
With a Ubisoft Forward presentation on the way in September 2022, this could be the perfect time for Beyond Good and Evil 2 news to drop. Even if there isn't anything ready to show of the game, so long as Ubisoft confirms that it is still being worked on, fans can put cancellation fears aside for now.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 is in development.
