After nearly 19 years in development hell, Ubisoft's Beyond Good & Evil 2 is somehow still showing signs of life

Nearly 18 years after its initial announcement in 2008, Ubisoft's long-awaited sequel to Beyond Good & Evil, Beyond Good & Evil 2, appears to be alive and in development, according to a Ubisoft Bordeaux developer. The game, which was unveiled at E3 2008, has been stuck in development hell ever since, with sporadic updates and rumors keeping fans hopeful.

In a recent post, lead writer and associate narrative director Rik Godwin confirmed the project's ongoing development, stating he has been working on it as part of a support/consultant role. Despite the excitement, the current state of Beyond Good & Evil 2 remains a mystery, leaving fans to wonder if the game will ever see the light of day.
