Ubisoft plugs away at long-awaited sequel
It has been literal years since we last saw anything of Ubisoft’s long, long,long-awaited adventure titleBeyond Good and Evil 2. In fact, the sequel to the 2003 action-adventure has gone so dark, that fans are already wondering whether the title is heading for an extended development ofDead Island 2proportions.
However, it seems that the cyberpunkian project is both far from canned and equally far from completion.A new job listingfrom Ubisoft Barcelona sees the developer reaching out for a “Senior Gameplay Animator to jump on board with Jade and company, with the listing suggesting thatBeyond Good and Evil 2will be one of Ubisoft’s “most ambitious games to date.”
It is believed that no less than five of Ubisoft’s studios are currently working on the project, which has only seen a single cinematic trailer, releasedway back at E3 2018. While franchise creator Michel Ancel has now left the industry entirely, it seems that production on the purgatory follow-up is progressing. It’s difficult to deny that, at this rate, fans may be better off simply holding off on their anticipation until Ubisoft finally has any in-game footage to share.
ABeyond Good and Evilcinematic adaptation is also currently in pre-production for the video-streaming service, Netflix. At this rate, we might be more likely to see the movie premiere before the game’s sequel comes close to hitting the shelves.
