Ubisoft has announced that Beyond Good & Evil 2 will require a constant internet connection in order to be played. However, the game will offer both co-op and solo modes, meaning that players can experience this title as a single-player game.
As Ubisoft stated:
“Beyond Good and Evil 2 is an online, multiplayer game with a rich co-op and seamless experience. As such, the game will only be playable with an internet connection in order to have seamless navigation, receive dynamic updates, and play with friends (which is certainly better when you’re playing as a Space Pirate!). The choice to play co-op, however, remains yours to make, so playing BGE2 solo is absolutely possible if you’re into that lone Space Pirate kinda thing.”
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. In it, 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.
Ubisoft plans to release a playable beta at the end of 2019 so it will take a while until gamers can get their hands on it. Earlier this month, the French company showcased 26 minutes of gameplay footage from its pre-alpha build and we’ve embedded that video below in case you missed it.

Game itself was in “doubt” wishlist for me. And with this GAAS crap it’s completely off it.
And that is how BGE-2 will bomb, ladies and gentlemen. Fallout 76 also supports solo play.
So no need of Denuvo + VMProtect, right? Who are we kidding Ubisoft will probably put them in as well.
They haven’t put those in The Crew and The Division games so prolly no DRM other than internet and uPlay in this one.
The Division has Denuvo and it always did. And even if it didn’t it doesn’t matter cause they need to be online regardless. Ubisoft is a Quad layer DRM company. Capcom and square enix is right behind them. I just got 3 free games from buying a Vega 64 The Division 2, Resident Evil 2 & Devil May Cry 5. I will be selling these keys, because I wouldn’t even play games from those DRM infested fools for free.
***The Division has Denuvo and it always did.***
***And even if it didn’t it doesn’t matter***
So why you post false statements if you’re not sure?
Dumbed down always online copy pasted reskins with denuvo awful optimization and microtransactions.
JUST FCKN SHOVE IT IN THERE, FCK THE CONSUMERS, JUST SHOVE ALL THE BLOATWARE IN THERE.
naaah that will still be in it aswell .. same as 4 Hodor, Division and The Cre all have denuvo and VMP in it and also being onlineonly

ubisoft forces black characters in games so let’s insult blacks.
you must be smart.
Ok than
Monkeysoft
I insulted monkeys …. Are you offended by that you monkey?
classic 50 iq republican defense mechanism presented by a 40 iq brainwashed 15 years old who doesn’t even live in US but feels like he’s going to be considered cool when he says things he read on the internet like a good sheep.
i’m not offended and i wasn’t offended the first time either because i’m not black. but you just proved that you have a low iq, there’s nothing offensive about a rytard on the internet.
Ufff you rly good at Profiling GG my guy
The butthurt is strong in this one.
U mad ni**a??
Play the unfazed smartass all you want, but you still stay in the safe-from-consequences zone. They were right when they said you’re a quick-to-run-scared little bunny irl.
Another expert on profiling.
forces? Mate, this game is a mmo, you make your own character, i am not kidding, look it up.
talking about ubisoft in general. they shove black protagonist and characters down our throats left and right.
You guys amaze me. You could only insult people of color online, but get you out in the open and you’re somewhat normal.
Stop projecting bud
Don’t be too hard on the poor guy because it can’t be easy being a Microsoft Zune cheerleader in 2018!
I use a Galaxy Note 9 kid. I don’t know what the heck you’re talking about Billy.
I have an old iPod somewhere. Come at me, ZuneBoy!
Creative ZEN ftw
Now there’s a blast from the past! I had an Archos mp3 player the size of a small brick prior to my first iPod. ZuneBoy will be frothing. ?
An old iPod, where’d you get that, from your gammy? Came at you, and continued driving over you. Ooops! got Bridgestones on your face. Besides, why would I be frothing? Heck I wouldn’t even sneeze much than froth. My Zunes served me well at the time, but why are you sticking your little chest out about technology that is now old and dead anyway, and that includes the iPod, Zen or any other ancient thing that you could proudly bring up. Why do I bother- Dumb, just dumb.
It’s just too easy to spot those who needed attention as a child like a tea kettle but never got it. Now they’re like a steam whistle as an adult.
The projection is off the charts
Nah, I openly hate ni**ers, muslims, gypsies, trannies, and people like you.
I also insult white ppl. Not only black .. . Even on the open
So you are like the postal 2 dude, you hate everyone equally.
No
Oh! high-functioning sociopath – gotcha. I see that you brought some friends along from the hospital. Just a thought – a shrink, and some meds.
Uff you got me . F*ing white ppl
Now thats racism, not the things sjws claim are racist.
racism dosnt exsist.. Its just a bunch if snowflakes getting offended for other ppl..
“Its just a bunch if snowflakes getting offended for other ppl..”
i read that with voice of someone who’s got down syndrome
Ok
Nope looking forward to playing The Outer Worlds.
And like that, BG&E 2 is dead. This just reeks of corporate bullshit and Micheal Ancel not being able to make his vision unless it befits the masters on high. Sorry, but if you didn’t want to make the game, you just shouldn’t have made it.
CD Projekt Red: Beyond Good
Ubisoy: Beyond Evil
What?! How?! I don’t… It wasn’t… Ubisoft!!! Ubisoft… ubisoft… *stops caring*

so it means there’s a grind, well good luck with that.
You mean to tell me some people where wondering if an upcoming Ubisoft game would require a constant internet connection to play? Don’t all of their games require it?
no, but its sure as heck getting to there.
Did they forget what a screw up that was ?
I remember the hassles with AC2 when my internet went down and I couldn’t play. Same with Splinter Cell Conviction. Very infuriating.
Nice. Never cared about this anyways. If people actually think that modern-day Ubi, can capture the magic of the original BG&E wit this abomination? Well, you’re an idiot. There’s just no two ways about it.
Do yourself a favour. Avoid this turd. Just keep walking.
Oh, and welcome to the future of “AAA” gaming. This will be the final nail in the control machine.
You’ve seen it before, but starting now, you’ll start seeing more and more of this “requires internet connection” garbage, because the intellectually bankrupt of the world (which is the majority of the planet), continue throwing their money at expiration date garbage like this. Have fun.
Remember, other peoples’ stupidity, CAN hurt you.
“If people actually think that modern-day Ubi, can capture the magic of the original BG&E wit this abomination?”
Its not even the same game this is a mmo like the division with custom made characters.
The first BG&E was entertaining for me and it had it’s charm and appeal. I would much rather have had more adventures with Jade in BG&E 2 but I’m probably in the minority on that.
You’re not alone; minority or not. BG&E is still one of my all time favorite games.
Well that was easy for me. No buy. More greedy GaaS filth filled with exorbitantly priced microtransactions (cosmetic, p2w boosters, or otherwise) designed with a marketplace in mind to charge far more than their illusory value and severely ripoff gamers.
With that sh**ty news, I won’t support this game. I’ll just torrent it.
its a mmo bro, you cant torrent it, can you torrent the division?
Just wait, if the game isnt worth buying then it will go F2P or at the very least have a free weekend at some point.
Good luck. You need constant internet connection with Ubisoft servers. Let me know when Destiny and Overwatch get hacked.
well this is beyond stupidity
I’m watching in real-time as durka durka is carpet bombing the comments section. It’s a sight to behold my friends

“Dynamic updates” so to facilitate a more cunning way to sell extra content via micro-transactions or whatever other method.
In other news, check out YongYea’s recent video showing #getwokegobroke to have switched up a gear for EA with the ongoing disaster that is Battlefield V. Glorious! ?
Its like we are prophets or something but media and devs blame “drama youtubers” for the failure of those games and not themselves.
If only they listened us like id software did with doom, if only.
From what I’ve recently observed the increasingly irrelevant legacy media has been infiltrated by activist ‘journalists’ obsessed with,
– publishing laughably desperate hit pieces on PewDiePie
– pushing their poisonous neo-Marxist post-modern political ideals
– insulting and attacking gamers and gamer culture
– signal boosting game devs/pubs that reflect their SJW perspective
– manufacturing outrage & division so to boost click-based ad revenues
– shilling the products of their advertising clients, i.e. AAA games publishers
They said it in the last video weeks ago.
Here is your empty open world, why bothering with story, complex level design and AI ? go there and shoot each other.
Also solo play means s**t, almost all online only games have solo play, hell even some PvP focused games have one.
its a mmo like the division. You even make your own character.
Division is not even an MMO, it’s more like a forced online content-less PvE co-op with mild PvP. it’s as awful as any other AAA online game that came out past decade.
They will resize the UI, put Origin/Denuvo on it and will sell it again.
I wonder if gamers/consumers have woken up yet? I’ll check back later…
In other news, I really wish I could filter out any news from UbiSoft especially. I now understand why those SJW’s love their safe spaces so much. Because whenever I see or hear anything about UbiSoft I’m immediately triggered AF
Sorry did I miss something…
Why are all the characters in the picture black?

Empty space you can float around in. Tech demo showing what’s possible now, but that’s about it. They’re designing it world first, gameplay second which never leads to a good game.

No. Name the game something else Ubisoft. This is not BG&E 2.
TO BE FAIR… you make your own character its a mmo.
always online : Insta no buy for me. I dont care if its a game or a software.
What a time we live in when “will support solo play” is a feature a game brags about having.
is possible to save the in-game progress and so stop to play the game in any moment whitout lose the things I earn in the game (points/resources or whatever) ? Because for example in sea of thieves is not possible to do it because if leave the game lose resources and mission experience/money and I don’t like this,because I want be able to save leave game when I want.
I can play it solo, really? Wow. Thank you Ubi, you’re da best!
For quite some time I was defending this company’s decision when they took a different approach for this soon to be franchise. I even gave them a chance on their strange and controversial marketing which encourages their most talented fans to collaborate in order to help build the project. Now I no longer care about this game nor do I see any point in playing it.
If they wanted to make an mmo they should have just told the fans and the general public since the start. Instead they just wanted to be all cryptic about it through their livestreams. I have absolutely no idea what they’re trying make anymore. Such a shame. I was a fan of the first game and was hoping that this would be more of the same but on a grander scale.
ubisoft, the one company that can try to be worse than ea and actually succeed.
Vá se Fuder Ubisoft Filha da PUTA, meu dinheiro vocês não verão jamais!!!!
always online single player is not acceptable. i immediately lost interested in this game now and i have been waiting for 15 years for the next BG&E game. what a huge disappointment this is..
