Ubisoft has already confirmed the existence of Assassin’s Creed Infinity , although that is a nickname that should rather be applied to Beyond Good & Evil 2 . The sequel to Michel Ancel’s cult game was announced in 2008 , already 13 years ago, although it wasn’t until E3 2017 that the game’s actual announcement took place . Well, even if Ubisoft always mentions BGE 2 in its quarterly reports, and despite taking more than a decade of development behind it, it is still too early to talk about dates with the game.
And we don’t mean specific dates – year, month, and launch day – but something as simple as a launch window or a target fiscal year. At Ubisoft’s last meeting with shareholders, shared by IGN, one of those present asked the French company if the mention of the game in its tax report implies that “we may see the game look over the horizon, perhaps for the year fiscal 2024 “, referring to the period from April 2023 to March 2024. Well, Ubisoft’s answer was very simple.
We have progressed well with Beyond Good & Evil 2Frederick duguet“Nice try Ken,” CFO Frederick Duguet responded to this shareholder. “We have progressed well with Beyond Good & Evil 2, but it is still too early to tell at this point.” That is, Ubisoft does not dare for now to give a launch window for the game, even if it is as distant as this one. Could it be because the project has no end in sight? Or because of the uncertainty surrounding an industry still affected by the pandemic ?
Last year, Ubisoft promised that we would see BGE2 in action in 2021 , although the game has not made an appearance for now. It is possible that the company’s plans have changed, or that they have prepared a Ubisoft Forward for the second half of the year where we do see this game. The fact is that Beyond Good & Evil 2 still does not show its cards after the departure of Michel Ancel , and it seems that we will have to wait even longer to prove it.
