After Nearly 19 Years in Development Hell, Ubisoft's Beyond Good & Evil 2 Is Somehow Still Showing Signs of Life Following Another Small Update
Ubisoft says the sequel is still in active development as lead writer Rik Godwin joins the narrative team in a support role.
- Ubisoft Bordeaux lead writer Rik Godwin confirmed this week he joined the Beyond Good and Evil 2 project as a consultant, marking a staffing addition to the long-in-development title.
- Development of Beyond Good and Evil 2 has spanned nearly 18 years under creative director Fawzi Mesmar, with Ubisoft Montpellier leading the project while support studios contribute to its progress.
- The project survived Ubisoft's existential reshuffle earlier this year, which cancelled other titles like Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake. "Needless to say, I am saddened by the cancellations," Mesmar said at the time.
- Sequel characters appeared in the Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition, cementing a sense of firm direction for the sci-fi fantasy project despite the absence of a release date.
- Typically a support studio, Ubisoft Bordeaux recently led work on Assassin's Creed Mirage and the Claws of Awaji expansion, signaling the team's capability to deliver the sci-fi sequel.
