In order to celebrate its 30th anniversary, Ubisoft is offering PC gamers seven digital games (from June to December) free of charge. Last month, the French company offered The Crew and today the big publisher made Beyond Good & Evil available to everyone.
Beyond Good and Evil is described as a unique game in Ubisoft’s history, and was created by Michel Ancel.
Released in 2003, Beyond Good & Evil was a creative bet that took all trends in reverse: the hero was a young girl with skills and wits, Jade, that was very different from women character in video games at that time.
While Beyond Good & Evil was loved by fans and critics, it did not meet commercial success, which is why Ubisoft did not capitalize on it.
Beyond Good & Evil had a unique style mixing Japanese and traditional cartoon and remains a unique experience with lovable characters, a brilliant storytelling and a gameplay mixing driving, fighting, collaborating, photographing.
You can download the game from here.
Have fun!

About a third of the games on my Origin and Uplay libraries are promotional free games given to me my EA and Ubisoft. Keep up the good work EA & Ubisoft, and PC gamers might someday actually forget how many times in the past you screwed us over in favor of consoles.
How is it “Good Work”, if that’s a 3rd of your games, they don’t give many away.
Shows how few you actually buy, and I bet they will only be EA, and Ubisoft titles that are exclusive to the client.
If you had a choice, you’d buy nothing, on those clients.
I have around 100 games each on Origin and Uplay and around 30% of them I got for free through similar promotion like this one, in the last few of years.
does origin and uplay even have 100 games between the two of them let alone 100 per client?
100 games is easy for them to get on their client considering Ubisoft’s been in business for literally 30 years. Likewise with EA, who’s almost as old.
The real question is – are there actually 100 games worth getting on uPlay &/or Origin respectively, free or not?
A great game but i wish it was for free on GOG, not uplay .
For this ” 30th anniversary”, they should have fixed all the downgraded pc port but no way, they dont care .
There is often some sweet deals on GOG…I got this game for around 3$ recently,which is almost free. 🙂
Worth paying for on GOG, and Ubisoft decides where it’s free, not GOG.
They’re selling Uplay, using the game.
Does it come with controller support and widescreen?
If not, I’ll stick to the GOG version. For others you definitely owe yourselves to play this brilliant game.
I’d stick with the GOG version anyway, as it’s DRM free, and more importantly, for me, Store client free.
That’s the problem with both Ubisoft and EA’s “Free” games, you must get it on their store client, so that’s the real price paid, and that’s a greater price than paying cash for it on GOG, at full price, never mind in a sale.
I would pay Ubisoft if they removed the client requirement, even with DRM attached, assuming GOG version wasn’t an option.
An offline Installer is even more important than DRM free, in my opinion, though I prefer both, like GOG provides.
Well, some of the free games that Ubisoft is offering actually runs without the client, you just use it for downloading/installing.
PoP, Splinter Cell, Rayman Origins all run without the client. I’m yet to download BG&E to see if it is the same.
I don’t intend to play devil’s advocate here but for me there isn’t much of a difference between Valve’s client and other companies’ clients.
TBH Steam seems the slowest and least responsive of them all.
Yeah, why do people care so much about it? It’s not like it affects gameplay…
People using custom things like mods or post FX may sometimes get bummed by certain clients, but it’s a minority.
To be honest, there’s some legit complaints, and while I do agree that Steam is a bloated piece of software, it is also the only client that offers more options.
The major complaint about other clients is the lack of features and yet *requiring* the client to play or launch games (especially Uplay, ffs, you buy the game on Steam, download, launch the game, then you Uplay launches, connects, then you click play again then you play. It’s ludicrous.)
I mean if you aren’t going to offer me anything else, why bother with a client?
Yeah, they are just stupid copycats who noticed the success of Steam and had to make their own clients.
But while I don’t like them, they’re not SO ULTRA BAD that they would prevent me from buying a good game.
Yeah, these days they are a lot better in terms of functionality and speed.
Personally I’m only annoyed by the minor hurdles (unnecessary DRM, two clients required to play (Uplay), proper offline mode (Origin), SODDING CLIENT UPDATES EVERY DICKING TIME I LOG IN GAWDDAMN POS JUST LET ME PLAY THE BLOODY THING OFFLINE YOU F*CKERS GAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!)
Your Games Library gets divided up between multiple programs, is basically the biggest irritation.
True, but IMO that wouldn’t be a issue if the bloody clients weren’t required for the games to run.
In which case we’d revert to Desktop Shortcuts, though.
Eugh. >.<
Ewww no, I loathe them too xD
And I love my nude photograpy wallpapers to be all clean on my desktop.
But there’s loads of alternatives like docks, launchers, game managers or simply a built in function on any client to launch any game you have installed on your PC. 🙂
Heck if the trade off is launching my games without needing to log in/launch a program I *might* go down to the sodding shortcuts.
Maybe.
Possibly.
If they are tiny.
Really tiny.
i put them in my windows bar.
Yep, even the revamped Windows 8 Start Menu is good for that, especially if you use a program to edit the miniatures. 🙂
“And I love my nude photography wallpapers to be all clean on my desktop.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ^^
Good points, though, true.
It’s totally true u.u

*fingers crossed to not be banned*
Eww, woman smoking a cancerous tobacco stick, so gross…
The only thing women should be “smoking” is a meaty, leather “cigar”.
Yeah, I’m sure that we can’t develop any kind of disease with “meat cigars”.
And that’s why GOG is the greatest.
Well purely on the client, for SPG’s, Origin is better than Steam, which is better than Uplay. I won’t use Windows store because it hides the files, and I mod games.
All of them are a huge pain in the a*s, that give nothing of benefit, and I expect MPG’s to have built in online functionality, designed for the game.
GOG Galaxy is best, purely because I don’t have to use it, and I never have.
“That’s the problem with both Ubisoft and EA’s “Free” games, you must get
it on their store client, so that’s the real price paid, and that’s a
greater price than paying cash for it on GOG, at full price, never mind

Every action is executed by people for some profit.
Good luck if you are on Windows 10. I remember playing this game on Windows 7 and it was great. But now I tired it on my current PC and WTF 8 to 12 fps at 1080P. something is not right.
the trailer music is like the pirate of the caribbean theme song!!
good game the last part is a bit sucky, the SHOULD make a sequel with a low budget. Also why no hovercraft games out there? That could be fun.
Yes the game has a hovercraft. What is the next game they give?
This promotion has been good so far. With the exception of the crew all the games are classics.
Nope. Nothing is worth infecting my computer with Ubicrap.
