Beyond Good & Evil fans have been strung forth for some time now. Beyond Good & Evil 2'southward E3 2022 trailer looked darn expert, but we've received scant updates near the sequel since. Information technology was first announced in 2022, and a new written report claims it'southward nevertheless stuck in pre-product afterwards all this time.

The report comes from Bloomberg. As part of its larger story on an Assassin'south Creed Valhalla expansion turning into a total game, the outlet too brought upwardly other Ubisoft franchises. "Beyond Skilful & Evil 2 remains in pre-production subsequently at to the lowest degree five years of development, co-ordinate to people who piece of work on that game," it says. Last fall we heard from a different industry insider that the game was undergoing a "evolution crisis," and these reports unfortunately exercise match up.

Reasons for BG&Due east 2'due south development hell vary, but the lack of direction is a common thread. Managing director Michel Ansel departed Ubisoft after sexual misconduct and toxic workplace allegations, though he denied his departure was a outcome of those accusations. Regardless, it seems the game has yet to get off the basis, and the latest web log mail service for the game dates back to July 2022.

Young man Ubisoft game Skull & Basic is in a similar boat (heh). It'southward also been five years since that game was appear, and co-director Antoine Henry left Ubisoft too — no allegations in this case, though. At least Skull & Bones reportedly has a beta on the way.
