Ubisoft’s Beyond Good & Evil 2 is reportedly still in pre-production nearly 18 years after its original announcement, despite having approximately 250 developers assigned to the project.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New details have emerged about the troubled development of Beyond Good & Evil 2, suggesting that Ubisoft’s<\/a> long-awaited sequel remains far from completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to French journalist Gautoz<\/strong>, whose claims were shared on ResetEra<\/a>, the project continues to operate in pre-production despite being announced in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report claims that approximately 250 developers are currently working on Beyond Good & Evil 2<\/strong>, primarily at Ubisoft Montpellier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Good & Evil 2 Has Reportedly Missed Multiple Development Milestones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The report suggests that Beyond Good & Evil 2 has repeatedly failed to meet internal development targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Management decisions and changing project requirements have allegedly contributed to the prolonged development cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the difficulties, Ubisoft reportedly continues investing in the project, partly because of its proprietary Voyager engine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology was originally designed to support multiplayer experiences, but the game’s scope has reportedly changed significantly over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Good & Evil 2 Is Now Reportedly Focused on Single-Player<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Gautoz, Beyond Good & Evil 2 has shifted away from its original multiplayer ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game is now reportedly being developed as a single-player-first experience<\/strong>, with its gameplay direction also undergoing major changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report describes a transition from an early concept resembling Zelda in space<\/em> toward gameplay more comparable to Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These changes suggest that Ubisoft is continuing to redefine the project’s identity rather than following its original vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ubisoft Continues Development Despite Restructuring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Good & Evil 2 was first teased during Ubisoft’s Ubidays event in 2008, making it one of the longest-running development projects in gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Ubisoft has undergone layoffs and restructuring, recent recruitment activity suggests that work on the sequel continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Ubisoft has not officially confirmed the reported team size, current development stage or gameplay changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Good & Evil 2 still has no confirmed release date or launch platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until Ubisoft provides a substantial development update, the project’s future remains uncertain.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
