Beyond Good and Evil 2 director teases new look for Jade

Beyond Good and Evil 2 director Michel Ancel has revealed new concept art of Jade, the main character of the follow-up to Ubisoft Montpellier's 2003 cult action-adventure game.

The reveal happened unexpectedly during a livestream with Ancel and the Rayman Legends development team when a viewer asked about the status of Beyond Good and Evil 2.

The redesigned Jade is clad in more muted colours compared to her bright green outfit of the original game. This new design is similar to the one which appeared in what was apparently a leaked target gameplay render in 2009, below.

In the livestream, Ancel went on to say that working on the comical Rayman Legends was a good buffer to tackle a more "serious" game in Beyond Good and Evil 2. Though it still has no definitive release date, the game is being developed for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U and PC.
