Ubisoft has announced that Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition will be officially coming to PC on June 25th. To celebrate this announcement, the publisher shared a gameplay trailer that you can find below.
Developed by Virtuos and Ubisoft Montpellier, the 20th Anniversary Edition will have improved graphics, as well as numerous quality of life improvements. For instance, you can expect autosave, cutscene-skip, full controller and keyboard & mouse support, and cross-save across all platforms.
The collection will also have updated audio, including more than 15 pieces of the iconic soundtrack re-recorded by a live orchestra. Not only that but you can expect a new Speedrun Mode, as well as more than 20 new Achievements.
For those unaware, in Beyond Good & Evil, you will assume the role of Jade, a driven and bold young photojournalist investigating mysterious DomZ alien attacks. Alongside characters like her adoptive uncle Pey’j or the valiant Double H, you will embark on a trailblazing blend of action gameplay and thrilling emotional cutscenes.
Armed with your camera, you will get to freely explore Hillys, combat creatures large and small, infiltrate dangerous areas, solve enigmatic puzzles, play addictive mini-games, race the best Hovercraft pilots, and take pictures of the whole experience.
Enjoy!

Too bad nUbisoft will never release a proper sequel to this gem.
That MMO garbage in development hell doesn't count!
Incoming crying : wHy Is iT Not ComInG tO SteAM!??!!?!?
(tell fat-ss Gabe to stop charging developers 30% to buy his 20th yacht and it would be on Steam)
Don't worry, it will be on Steam eventually, like most Ubisoft games, because the gravity of Juggernaut Gaben is just way too strong to resist… 🙂
It'll be on Steam, and it will also still require Ubisoft connect to be installed. People demanding games on Steam are dummies.
Disagree.
There's one thing you should never underestimate about human behaviour:
Convenience.
Similar to Gabe's famous comment about piracy, having your entire game collection neatly organized in the same place is very important for alot of people.
You can see the very same thing happening yet again in the PC handheld space:
On paper, getting a Windows handheld should be a no-brainer, because they offer greater compatibilty and newer models offer substantially better hardware than the Steam Deck.
And yet, Valve is seeing ever increasing sales numbers month over month, outselling all of the Windows competition combined.
Why?
Because of the convenience SteamOS provides over Windows.
That way, Valve has already cornered the PC handheld space right now.
It will be interesting to see how Microsoft's answer in the form of a Xbox handheld is going to turn out…
An inconvenience that is easily solved in 30 seconds. Either A. install Playnite, or B. "add non-steam game" to Steam library. It really is that simple. The only thing that doesn't work that way is GamePass games as they locked away in a folder that you cannot access.
I used Playnite and while it's nice, it's still inconvenient—I want all my games in one library, is it too much to ask for? Not to mention that it disappeared with all my game list and info (which I spent time setting up) when Windows nuked itself in an update. That simply doesn't happen with Steam.
Adding a non-Steam game isn't a solution either since the game is added as a generic exe file with no info (you have to add everything manually), and it vanishes once the folder is deleted so it's not really in your library.
I understand you may not care about any of that, but, like Linux said above, people value their customised game collection, and Steam is an amazing platform with so many features that it's hard to accept any less.
I'd say it's more like addiction, yes gaming is addictive and the sales specials these addicts buy to "get a deal" add up to 1000 game backlog they'll never play but do pay for. Nah eye patching for non-monkeys is way more convenient. The space you have irl on your drives is the limiter and you can delete old stuff you never installed and be done w it, don't pay for the privilege either.
You just discovered consoles are a ripoff. Good for you.
You couldn't pay me enough to give two sh*ts about this entire franchise. Overhyped garbage with high estrogen fanbase.
We won't do that. You can continue not giving two sh*ts and nobody cares :))
You clearly do, since you were bothered enough to comment on it.
Mate, you type that sh*t on every game. What the hell do you even play?
BG3 and elden ring at the moment.
You got any recommendation?

Finally a remaster of this amazing game.
The old version is fine, but old PC games often have issues.
My main problem with playing old PC games is always.
1: They run in exclusive full screen mode, which means they take full command of the API. Alt-tabbing usually results in the game crashing or Windows lagging. I have a PC to multitask, otherwise I might as well use a console to game on. Today's games run in full-screen windowed by default, which allows you to Alt-tab without issues.
2: Old PC games rarely support controllers. This idea that you can just hook up an (Xbox-compatible) controller to PC and it will be automatically recognized without set-up is a relatively new feature for PCs.

I have a question about this game.
Was it really a good game, or did we like it just because we were kids?
It's a good game, of a genre that doesn't exist any longer:
action-adventure 3d platformer
Similar to Psychonauts 1+2?
More like American McGee Presents: Scrapland.
A genre that today is lost in favor of open world and Gaas games.
Another example could be Tomb Raider Underworld,Prince of Persia classic trilogy(a more liniar experience with multiple levels) the last games that offer this kind of experience is Uncharted series.
It is good BUT short!! It reminded me a little of wind waker because you have to travel to islands with boats and you have to make a photo collection of 100 animals or something. The story was interesting and reminded me of a combination between disney's treasure planet and star wars. Just take your time with the game and do every side quest because then it isn't that short.
Good question!
Time to find out once this remaster is released, I guess.
With Deadnuvo as an added bonus.
I downloaded the switch version😊
I've never played this game but knowing of how it's one of the most asked for remasters in history and all its mess, it feels like justice has been made for the gaming world.
PS: damn it looks like it has soul, and the soundtrack sounds amazing! I'll have to check it out!
its ok, a mixture between a ps2 platformer and a stealth game and has some hover craft races, its not that great though.
Looks good. Never played the original, but looks like they retained the original art style. Possibly looks locked at 60 fps, but lossless scaling can fix that to 120 fps.
They removed the original from steam and from the look of it this remaster will be only on Ubisoft store and Epic.
I hope I am wrong because I want to play this.
No they announced it for all platforms Xbox, Playstation, Ubisoft, Steam and Epic for PC
Anyone else notice they still haven't listed the price?
Ugh someone in marketing loved the nietzsche reference, the crypto jew who went insane at 45, and pushed how "amazing" this game was, dumbos follow suit, obviously.
