Overview
- Rik Godwin, a lead writer at Ubisoft Bordeaux, said this week that he has been working on Beyond Good and Evil 2 in a support and consultant role for several months.
- Ubisoft previously told reporters that the game was not among six projects it canceled, a clarification that the company and recent reporting use to signal the title is still active.
- The project has a long, stop-start public history that began with a 2008 teaser and high-profile trailers and a gameplay demo at E3 in 2017–2018.
- Key creative turnover has affected the sequel’s continuity: director Michel Ancel left Ubisoft in 2020 and creative director Emile Morel died in 2023, with Fawzi Mesmar later named creative director.
- No official reveal or release window has been announced and reports suggesting a possible reveal before the end of 2026 remain unconfirmed, leaving the game’s scope, story, and timeline uncertain.
