Beyond Good & Evil 2 Job Listing Shows There's Signs Of Life In The Old Hog Yet

Is anyone still waiting for this though?

The only reason Ubisoft still wants to put this out is for the hefty tax write off.

Who's Ubisoft looking to target with this? From everything we know about it so far, it doesn't seem to be targetting fans of the first game.

And how many kids are like "I wish we got a sequel to that PS2 game that came out before I was born, and most people have never heard of."

Don't get me wrong I would love the sequel, but...Yeah, yeah and 'pigs' might fly!

“Hi, are you delivering a lorry of money from Ubisoft? If you could just pour it down that bottomless pit marked ‘Good And Evil 2. Great.”

If we're talking about long-awaited sequels to mid-00s action/adventure games, they did manage to make a sequel to Psychonauts 16 years after the original, and it was awesome, one of the best games of this decade... So I guess nothing's impossible, though I have much less faith in Ubisoft being able to pull it off than I had with Double Fine.

It took them 14 years to develop Duke Nukem Forever (which bombed when it finally released)

Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been in development limbo for over 17 yeas now.

I have zero trust this is going to be any good.

@ShadLink And just like with DNF, I'm looking forward to the "Wha Happun" videos and a possible Jason Schrier article than I am the game itself.

I hope it gets a 3rd teaser trailer thats once again completely different from the other ones.

Too little too late for me. Sorry.

Just scrap the whole thing and start again at this stage. Whatever Ubisoft are trying to do here is nothing that people liked about the original game.

I was hoping they’d ditched whatever that game was the last time they showed it off but I guess not. Just make an actual direct sequel and it’ll probably be a modest success at least- nothing they do is going to make it the hit they seem to want it to be.

There may still be life in the old hog, but it's well past its prime if that thumbnail is anything to go by...

I mean, I loved Beyond Good and Evil and wouldn't be at all opposed to a sequel, but I can't say I'm interested in the always-online, over-realistic, look-how-edgy-we-are-the-monkey-is-saying-rude-words-and-everything vision of it that we saw at E3 2017. But who knows what's going on with it at this point, maybe they'll have changed course entirely.

Gave up waiting a long time ago, but if this actually happens I will check it out.

I thought for sure this was dead.
Whatever the work put into this game ends up being released in, I find it hard to believe it will still bare the name of Beyond Good and Evil.

I guess Skull and Bones did eventually release even though I don't think anyone was ever excited about it.

Let’s be honest, even if this does come out it will be a miracle if it’s actually good.

Ubisoft will probably find a way to screw this up.

This game is nothing more than vaporware

I hope this is true and I hope it will be worth the wait!

Montpiller? I thought they were all Hands on Rayman? Granted, despite their finance issues Ubisoft still had more support studios than Bobby Kotick had Children's Hearts in Jars (7) so it could be a matter of Ubisoft's EPD10 simply leading the other teams on Rayman and/or French Half-Life 3

Whatever man. I've completely lost hope this game will ever come out, let alone be good. Ubisoft tried asking fans to make assets for them for free, and that didn't pan out. Now there's a tool that can do that for them, so it'll probably just be a gigantic pile of GenAI slop. Screw BG&E2. Screw Ubisoft. Screw AAA gaming.

I've never been excited for this because they are not making a sequel, they are making a completely different type of game with some familiar characters. It's like saying Dr. Mario is a sequel to SMB3

The teaser trailers looked nothing like the first BGE, so I was never interested in this project. Probably best it never sees the light of day.

Here we are, 8 years after that trailer dropped, and graphics on modern consoles still wouldn't be able to render what they showed here in real time anyway - at least not at a reasonable frame rate.

Lost most of my interest in this when they revealed the cussing monkey that was tonally at odds with the first game.

I lost more interest when they said it was going to be not just open-world, but multiple planets of open world.

I lost further still when they then begged people to make free content for those worlds.

Now Ubisoft is fully embracing the environmental disaster that is generative AI, I'd rather this game just no longer exist. I won't be playing it, even if by some miracle it's ok and not a bloated, sloppy mess.

I've lost interest in this, but... if it's a "prequel," why is it Beyond Good & Evil "2?" Why not "0"? "Origins"? "Beginnings?" Or "Before Good & Evil"?

It's been so long since the first game that some of the people who worked on the first one could have died of old age. Nobody wants this anymore, even if they think they do.

@Polvasti I like your optimism, but to put that into perspective, The original Psychonauts came out only 3 years before they announced beyond good and evil 2. So this game has been in DEVELOPMENT for longer than the entire gap between both Psychonauts games.

Yeah, the teaser looked great. Not sure about gameplay, but I enjoyed the video. It would awesome to get a Switch 2 version.

Still vaporware until further notice.

I don't care anymore

This game came out when I was a teenager. They rereleased it twice but I don’t know the audience that loved it over 20 years ago will come back. I wanted a sequel that moved the story forward. But this game is a prequel that looks to make the original story weirder and seem smaller. I still don’t think this game is coming out. But if it does no matter how I feel I will get it day one on whatever system it is on. Hopefully not on the ps7 and switch 4.

I hope there's I Switch 2 version. There's no reason why there won't be.

After 17 years and without any public demo... It's just a non existent game, lol.
