Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been stuck in limbo since it was first revealed in 2008. Ubisoft has continued to assure those anticipating the sequel to the well-received adventure game that it is still in development, but now we know a bit more on why there has been little movement on the game. It's all because of Rayman.
It's always nice to have a reminder that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is actually still coming. Ubisoft has never said it's been cancelled, mind, but is so quiet that we always feel a little concerned. Splendid news, then, that creator Michel Ancel has again piped up again to say yes, it is being worked on.
Rayman Origins is one of the most gorgeous 2D games ever created. The "UbiArt" framework used to create the game produced spectacular results, and surprisingly, was born from technology developed for the perpetually in-limbo Beyond Good & Evil 2.
"It was a continuation of what we were doing with Beyond Good & Evil 2 -- a visual pattern generating-based engine," Ubisoft designer Michel Ancel said.

Ubisoft has a weird, semi-neglectful relationship with Beyond Good & Evil 2. The company keeps reassuring us that it's still an active project, only to then forget to say or show anything about it for months at a time. Most recently we heard that the game is too ambitious for this generation, but that hasn't stopped series creator Michel Ancel from showing off concept art at the Montpellier in Game 2011 conference.
We haven't seen hide nor hair of Beyond Good & Evil 2 since its announcement in 2008, but with every cancellation scare Ubisoft keeps assuring us it's still alive. Fans might still be hoping to play it sometime in this generation, but Ubisoft has moved away from that goal and is now talking about ambitious plans for future consoles. A new interview sheds some light on exactly what the company wants out of the sequel.
Conspicuously absent from Ubisoft's E3 press briefing was Beyond Good & Evil 2. Apparently the game has been put on hold, and may even get pushed to the next generation of consoles, according to project lead Michel Ancel. "Before Rayman we were working on Beyond Good & Evil 2," Ancel told Joystiq. "And the project is still on the tracks. I'd love to come back to it."
When Ubisoft announced its less-than-stellar financial results last night, it also terminated unnamed projects as part of a restructuring for the coming year. We feared this might mean the end for games we haven't heard from in a while, like I Am Alive and Beyond Good & Evil 2. Apparently, not to worry.
Following rumors late last week that Beyond Good & Evil and Rayman creator Michel Ancel had left Ubisoft and that Beyond Good & Evil 2 was put on hold. The company has confirmed that Ancel is still with the company. Read more »
Having recently announced that "a new episode of Assassin's Creed" with an "online multiplayer mode" is due out sometime between April 2010 and March 2011, publisher Ubisoft has now revealed a few more details on that and two other projects.
"The [new Assassin's Creed] will take place with the same hero, which is Ezio, and will follow-up the story that took place in Assassin's Creed 2," the company explained during a recent conference call, as reported by CVG, with CEO Yves Guillemot noting that it will also have an "offline component" and will be sold at a "full price point."

A video found on French site Eversonic appears to be a proof-of-concept for Ubisoft's upcoming Beyond Good & Evil sequel.
The footage, noticed by Kotaku, shows a female avatar--closely resembling the look of character Jade from the first Beyond Good & Evil 2 trailer--traversing an urban cityscape. The unlocked camera suggests that the footage is either an in-game cinematic or proof-of-concept video. Read more »
The sequel to Ubisoft's action-adventure title Beyond Good & Evil will appeal to casual gamers moreso than the first game, Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot said at the recent Ubidays press event in Paris.
"We saw with Beyond Good & Evil that so many customers were extremely happy with the game," said Guillemot to Next-Gen. "We had a different audience at that time. We had more core gamers than casual gamers than we have today." Read more »
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.
