Overview
- In late September 2026, Ubisoft Bordeaux writer Rik Godwin posted that he has spent the past few months working on Beyond Good & Evil 2 in a support and consultant role.
- Ubisoft previously told reporters the sequel was not one of six internal projects it canceled earlier in 2026 and said the title remains in development.
- Godwin’s message did not disclose how far along the game is or offer a release window, leaving the project’s current progress opaque.
- Beyond Good & Evil 2 has a protracted, troubled history that began with a 2008 reveal and includes high‑profile moments in 2017–2018, director Michel Ancel’s 2020 departure, and the 2023 death of creative director Emile Morel followed by Fawzi Mesmar taking over.
- Recent job listings, hires and consultant posts are the main public signals the game is active, and those signs have prompted unconfirmed media speculation about a possible reveal before the end of 2026 while Ubisoft has not confirmed any such plan.
