It appears that gamers won’t be able to get their hands on Beyond Good & Evil 2 anytime soon. According to its creator, Michel Ancel, the development team aims to release a playable beta version at the end of 2019.
Ubisoft also showcased Beyond Good & Evil 2 behind closed doors at E3 2018. The Beyond Good and Evil 2 team opened up the private demo of the game to a few select members of the Space Monkey Program at this year’s E3 in Los Angeles, California, giving a select few the unique opportunity to see first-hand the ongoing development of Beyond Good and Evil 2 and to meet the team in person.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 is the spiritual successor to the cult classic, and a prequel that will transport players into a profoundly multicultural world. The game aims to capture the spirit of the original with “grandiose decors and intense dramas that play out across a vast universe.“
In Beyond Good and Evil 2, players will fight alongside other characters in a new solar system, as they struggle for freedom and the right to determine their own fate among the stars. Players will be able to game either by themselves or with friends in a vast and seamless online playground.

So we’re basically waiting till summer 2020, possible 2012, amazing job at playing the waiting game Ubisoft.
You’re almost up there with CDPR taking 5+ eyars with Cyberpunk.
At least you’re not a Bannerlord fan.
🙁
Hey, the stuff I’m a fan of either doesn’t exist, has died, is still dead or isn’t coming for another 3-5 more years.
I don’t get the hype around that game and I think Ubisoft doesn’t get it either. The game showed at this year’s E3 didn’t look like what they showed 2 years ago. I remember when they said that Jade wouldn’t be in this game because it was a prequel set many years before BG&E, now she’s in the game and they expect the fans to create content for the game for free. I bet Ubisoft will have to go through a bunch of focus tests before they know what to do with the game.
i dont get how they gonna populate the planets with stuff to do.
Simple, bunch of icons (tail missions,races,discover more icons,capture base,boss unlocked, kill it, to the next planet and never look back) ubisoft formula.
You realize may have just wanted to keep Jade hidden from public knowledge, and keep some aspects of the prequel sequel a secret?
They don’t expect fans to finish the game either, it’s literally just a collaboration where things could possibly end up in the game. What the hell is wrong with that? You get your name out there on an insanely popular cult title’s sequel and could get recognized from the industry.
“they expect the fans to create content for the game for free.”
Which is pretty ingenious actually. Given the size of their game, this might be the one way to actually pull it off.

BGE2 is the new Half-Life 3 almost. How long has it been? 15 years? The difference being people actually want HL3.
Some of these projects now are just as abstract as the music industry with things like Chinese Democracy or the “new Tool album” which take 12+ years. HL3 at least doesn’t exist, or so they’ve led us to believe.
Add Dr Dre Detox to that list haha
lol
They could have atleast rebooted Prince of Persia where there is still big fan base (I hope i am right) instead of this game.
Assassin’s Creed is the reboot (kind off) of PoP
Not really, it’s the same genre, nothing else beyond that.
No He is right Ac is the new Pop game!
Yakuza is what Shenmu evolved into….a spiritual successor if you.
aa
They’re probably pushing it back to add in a battle royale mode. It’s the only way anyone will buy this game.
I’m not sure Ubisoft knows completely where they want to go with this game. They certainly don’t want a repeat of BG&E 1. That game released right before Christmas, got good to very good reviews by most sites and still didn’t sell very well. I enjoyed the game.
Off topic: Prepare your wallet for sacrifice. The Steam Summer Sale starts Thursday.
jewbysoft should just focus all their shekels on siege and f**k off from gaming forever
easy.
siege is literally the only game that brings them consistent revenue due to it’s microtransaction skin store
there is also Esports which also brings them bags of shekels
point of fact, if it wasn’t for siege, they would’ve been bought by vevandi due to how little money they’re making for their annual cash-grabs
siege is literally their biggest source of reoccurring revenue due it’s popularity as a CS GO alternative
point of fact, it’s due to it’s success (that and overwatch) other publishers are picking up on the whole “games as a service” cancer
and Ubisoft’s annual recycled, cash-grabs are losing their luster
(esp when they literally copy pasted a$$ creed egypt into Greece and added a bunch of Kangz blackwashing to it aswell)
it’s not like Ubisoft cares anymore, they literally invest as little as possible into development just to sell at a profit
and they plaster their games with cut-content “DLC’s” and other p2w microtransaction packs (did they never heard of a trainer?)
End of 2019? Another game used as E3 filler announced way too early. So we get to “see” this game again again and again at all the E3s till release. God how the show has changed this gen. Just a giant ad dump with moronic theatrics and smoke and mirrors to keep preorder hype, not at all an Expo.
