Overview
- Ubisoft is recruiting for Beyond Good & Evil 2 at its Montpellier studio, with openings that include a technical sound designer, lead quest designer and a technical lead network programmer.
- The official job copy describes the game as an open-world space-opera prequel built on the proprietary Voyager engine and playable solo or with friends.
- The inclusion of a senior network role suggests online functionality such as drop-in/drop-out co-op, but no release window is provided.
- The project has endured a protracted development with major leadership changes, including Michel Ancel’s 2020 exit, Guillaume Carmona’s 2023 departure and the 2023 passing of creative director Emile Morel, with Fawzi Mesmar now leading creative direction.
- Ubisoft’s new Tencent-backed Vantage Studios does not include Montpellier or this title, and last year’s 20th Anniversary Edition of the original featured new content pointing to the sequel.
