Will we play Beyond Good And Evil 2 before we're all 70yo+? The game is still in "Early Development" after 15 years. FFS

Have been watching this, and it reminded me that once upon a time, Ubisoft used to think and create ambitious titles. Do y'all still care about the game, or the hype is long gone and forgotten?

Hopefully? This will surpass Duke Nukem Forever situation. Not only is there no chance for this thing to come out in good shape, but when it does, its gonna be an MTX galore. Every pick up in the environment will remind you with a pop up that you can visit their store, and a bunch of intrusive additions like that. This is Ubisoft afterall.

From what I gathered, Ubisoft had a rough year or two with some poor-selling games (Tom Clancy: Breakpoint and Watch Dogs: Legion), so they restructured a lot and are now focusing on one or two games at a time.

This is why we got Far Cry and Assassin's Creed, but they've either mothballed or put on the backburner the Settlers game and Beyond Good and Evil 2.

But yeah, still very disappointing it isn't out yet.

I don't see the game succeeding unless it launches on Game Pass or PlayStation Super Extra Duper Premium

It sold like shit because it was nothing but a shit game. The humour alone was beyond cringe, and not the good kind of cringe you'll find in Hight on Life.

If there is one thing I learned from Duke Nukem Forever, it is that it will be well worth the wait.

GOTY 2057 confirmed. Elden Ring 14, God of War 17, and Xenoblade Chronicles 26 don’t stand a chance.

I really hope it doesn't come out. Wouldn't trust Ubisoft to make a good game out of it.

Ubisoft refuses to publish actual good games.

@jaydan: At this rate, Randy Pitchford is pointing and laughing at Michel Ancel, I bet.

I think it's time to ask ourselves whether this game is worth following... I wouldn't hold my breath. The game is niche to begin with and ubisoft has not been making their best games. Very real that this never sees the light of day. Don't lose sleep over it.

Well they clearly have no vision or plan for this game. Is not a good sign. This is why I didn't play the original. What is the point when the story is not concluded.

I think it's utterly dumb people continually mention the devs have been slaving away at this for 15 years with no results. You know what the devs have been doing the last 15 years? Putting out like 16 other games since the first Beyond Good and Evil released.

Seriously, people need to stop acting like this is stuck in 15 years of development hell. I would guess at most they maybe brainstormed the potential sequel between projects but never put any considerable time plugging away at making a brand new entry until more recently.

Don't worry you will get at least 10 more Assassin's Creeds and 12 more Farcrys.

They obviously did some early development on it and then put it to the bottom of their priority list. Why take the financial risk of designing an ambitious successor to an old classic when they can simply copy paste Assassin's Creed and Far Cry every two years,
