Ubisoft was found to be working on the much beloved Beyond Good & Evil franchise once more, and assets of a sequel spilled on to the Internet. Now trouble brews…
Gamesyde has got confirmation they say from GamesCom, Ubi’s efforts have been put on hold. Whether it’s a temporary or permanent thing remains to be seen. Evil triumphs this day.
”I got confirmation at Cologne’s Gamescom that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is on hold for now. No idea if it’s def or temporary but it sucks,” twittered Gamesyde’s Colin Solal Cardo.
Back in July, Ubisoft president Laurent Detoc said: ”Whether or not it comes out remains to be seen anyway, but we didn’t want to abandon that IP because it has a cachet and authenticity about it.”
”There’s something very pure about that game and it’s too bad that we were not able to build it as an IP at the time,” he continued, speaking with Gamezine.
”Well, I didn’t say there’s definitely going to be another game. I said something had leaked, which means we’ve been working on some Beyond Good and Evil stuff, but whether there’s going to be another game or not, that’s something for the future.” Sounds like a climbdown.
