Ubisoft recently announced that it had canned a number of unannounced games including the Prince of Persia: Sand of Time Remake and shuttered a couple of studios, inevitably decreasing its staff. However, one thing that surprisingly survived this massive shift is the long-delayed Beyond Good & Evil 2. When asked why the project hadn’t been canned a long time ago, Ubisoft told Eurogamer the following:
“Beyond Good and Evil 2 remains part of our portfolio and our roadmap and fits with our strategy of focusing on Open World Adventures.”
The studio’s spokesperson added that within this market, “the fantasy genre is underserved”. Therefore, Ubisoft has a “unique proposition” with its Beyond Good and Evil sequel.
Didn’t he creator say it’s not happening?
It’s gonna fail.
Ubisoft + open-world just makes nauseous nowadays
It’s going to be woke, and it will fail like their other attempts. Like it or not, that’s the truth
Any decade now
Also, when a game is pushed back this hard with little effort in its promotion besides letting people know it hasn’t been axed yet, it speaks a little more to a troubled development than a project that needs time to shine
I’m not certain it’ll ever come out, but it’ll probably be sorta mediocre when it does. There will probably be a point where Ubisoft executives force it out before it’s finished for taking so long and costing so much, but I don’t think it is anywhere near the heavy-hitter they want it to be at its foundation
Not just that, but for them to suggest the fantasy genre is under served is ridiculous, so I fully expect them to deliver a woke, bland, DEI anti-consumer GAAS affair that’s completely out of touch with the real world. Nobody supports woke nonsense, it’s an audience of a small minority that’s really loud and nobody cares about.
I don’t think it is coming out I feel they have to save face pretending it exists given the money wasted on it being over half a billion now almost the price of the company. Also with the creator leaving it does not look good. They want to keep stupid shareholders at bay something they are good at and the French government enables them same way Poland did CDPR with Cyberpunk.
