Ubisoft Announces Beyond Good and Evil 2

Ubisoft today announced the development of Beyond Good and Evil 2, and debuted a trailer for the title at its UbiDays 2008 event in Paris today. The company also released a teaser trailer and a trio of screenshots.

The title, a sequel to Ubisoft Montpellier's 2003 sleeper hit, is will be helmed by series creator Michel Ancel. The original Beyond Good and Evil featured Zelda-like action adventure gameplay realized in a unique and complicated world, a lighthearted plot with heavy themes and a great sense of humor.

Though the game was released to critical acclaim, BG&E's sales suffered against several other high-profile Ubisoft releases of the day such as Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and Splinter Cell.

No release date has yet been announced by the publisher.
