We still have a lot more to do to, and we’re ramping up the size of the team to help.

I’m incredibly proud of the team’s perseverance, dedication to each other and ongoing commitment to developing an amazing game. We recently passed an important internal milestone, delivering a build that proves our Space Pirate Fantasy and offers hours of gameplay and an incredible level of freedom in a seamless online sandbox, building upon the promise of our tech demos shown at E3. The team’s collective strength has us well on our way to developing a flagship next-generation action-adventure game.

As we move forward, we are all committed to remaining true to this vision.Īs Michel noted, he hasn’t been directly involved in BG&E2 for some time now, as the team have been hard at work building on top of the solid creative foundation he helped shape. His uncompromising passion pushed us to redefine what was possible in crafting an expansive, multicultural, and futuristic science-fiction world. For years, Michel imparted his creative vision and helped us remain faithful to BG&E’s incredible universe.
BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL 2 UPDATE
With that in mind, we wanted to let you know about some changes to the team and give you an update on our next milestone.Īs he said via Instagram today, Michel Ancel has decided to stop working in video games in order to focus on other personal projects, and will no longer be part of the BG&E2 team. Ubisoft's other known upcoming AAA title, Skull & Bones, has been specified for launch in the 2021-2022 fiscal year as well.Hello BG&E fans and Space Monkeys – As we said recently, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is well underway and we are currently concentrating on core development and production milestones. However, it is extremely unlikely that Ubisoft would classify Beyond Good & Evil 2 as a non-AAA game, meaning the soonest possible launch date per Guillemot's remarks would be April 2021, the start of the following fiscal year. Three of the planned AAA releases will launch within the window of September 2020 to December 2020, while the remaining two will release between January and March 2021.Īdditionally, Ubisoft is planning other non-AAA releases, including Roller Champions and, almost certainly, its annual Just Dance release.

The remaining two have not been officially revealed yet. Three will be Gods & Monsters, Rainbow Six Quarantine, and Watch Dogs: Legion, all of which were delayed out of this current fiscal year. We already know a few of them from statements made last year. He was specifically referring to the fact that Ubisoft has said it will be releasing five AAA titles in the coming fiscal year that begins on April 2020. Guillemot replied, "It's not going to be in the five games we will announce." In today's earnings call discussing the publisher's Q3 results, CEO Yves Guillemot was asked by an investor about whether or not the game was part of Ubisoft's plans for the next fiscal year. Fans of Beyond Good & Evil who delighted in the game's announcement trailer when it was shown at E3 2017 are unfortunately going to have to wait quite a bit longer to see what the prequel to Ubisoft's 2003 space alien adventures has in store.
