In a departure from the first game, Beyond Good & Evil 2 does not have a set main character. The journey from one person to a pirate ship sailing the stars. The technology I'm seeing is about realizing that vision. Moving from a small, seedy room, to the wide futuristic streets, the city, and then to the stars. "But this demo is not about that, it's about size."īeyond Good & Evil 2 is about that change you saw in the trailer. "Now we are in a position where it's going to be easier, because we are going to add the components, the more human-sized components," says Ancel.

They crafted the solar system, then worked out the planets, then how to populate those planets with cities full of people and hybrids. So Ancel and his team decided to work in the opposite direction. And then you scale up: the character's in the city, the city is on a planet, and then you realize that the technology is just impossible to make your game in the same way." Concept art of the scene I saw in my demo. You'd start to make your character move into the environment. We failed after two years, because the process we had was like our other games. "The story of the project is a bit complex," begins Ancel. It's pretty awe-inspiring to witness the change. He flies to the Ganesh statue, landing on the top of it, and then zooms out to show how the scale changes. Ancel flies around both ships with the pilot and the capital ship is huge in comparision. What strikes me is the immediate shift in visual scale as the demo moves from capital ship, to quick strike craft, to pilot. That ship flies a certain distance away and Ancel hits another button, causing the pilot - the monkey hybrid from the trailer - to exit. Ancel hits a button, and a smaller ship exits from the front. The city shown in the teaser trailer is live onscreen, with a capital ship floating high above it, next to a massive statue of Ganesh. Ubisoft did make it clear, at the time, that Ancel’s involvement with Beyond Good and Evil 2 had already ended. If you’re excited to play the game-and why wouldn’t you be it’s got cheeky chimps in it-you may sadly have to wait a while yet.Beyond Good & Evil 2 director and designer Michael Ancel is showing me the scale of what the team wants to accomplish. He announced, last year, that he intended to open a wildlife sanctuary, which seems like a fantastic reason to quit game development.
Michel Ancel, the director of the much-celebrated original, has left Ubisoft-and, indeed, the games industry.

To which he said, “We are progressing well with Beyond Good and Evil 2, but it’s too early to tell you more at this stage.” (via PC Gamer.) Ubisoft CFO Frederick Duguet was asked whether the game might be available in the fiscal year 2024.
#Beyond good and evil 2 update#
We did get a gameplay update video, in 2018: Since then, we haven’t heard much from it. After living in a kind of development purgatory since the release of the original, in 2003, the sequel was properly unveiled in 2017. Ubisoft first announced Beyond Good and Evil 2 in the late 1800s-no, wait, that’s not right. And, furthermore, that it has “ambitious” plans for the game. In its report of the Q1 FY22, Ubisoft has confirmed that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still happening.
