Beyond Good & Evil 2 Development 'Unaffected,' Director Says After Ubisoft Reset

Ubisoft positions the long-running sequel in Creative House 4 as a priority within its open-world strategy.

Overview

  • In a LinkedIn post, creative director Fawzi Mesmar said his team and project are unaffected by the restructuring and remain focused on delivering “a remarkable game.”
  • Ubisoft’s overhaul involved layoffs, studio closures, and the cancellation of at least six projects, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake.
  • Official documents place the Beyond Good & Evil series in the newly formed Creative House 4, which emphasizes immersive, narrative-driven worlds.
  • Unions have prepared a three-day strike in February in response to proposed redundancies at Ubisoft’s Paris headquarters, signaling ongoing labor unrest.
  • Nearly two decades after its first announcement, the sequel still lacks a release window following years of leadership changes and other setbacks.
