Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition Launches With Exclusive Mission on Nintendo Switch

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition will be released on the Nintendo Switch, along with other modern platforms, on June 25. This eagerly anticipated remaster marks two decades since the highly acclaimed action-adventure game first debuted, and introduces new content along with technical enhancements for current-generation hardware. Beyond Good & Evil, originally launched in 2003, quickly cemented its place as a cult classic, thanks to its vibrant world design, unique blend of stealth and action gameplay, and compelling storytelling. The game follows Jade, an investigative reporter, as she uncovers the truth behind a series of alien attacks on her planet, Hillys. Supported by memorable allies such as her adoptive uncle Pey’j and the steadfast Double H, Jade embarks on a journey filled with puzzle-solving, stealth sequences, photography-based missions, and fast-paced combat. The 20th Anniversary Edition takes full advantage of Nintendo Switch hardware, offering enhanced visuals, improved performance, and a range of quality-of-life updates. But perhaps the most significant new feature is the inclusion of an exclusive mission. This new content explores previously unseen narrative connections to Beyond Good & Evil 2, the long-awaited sequel which, although it remains without an official release date, continues to intrigue fans with its expansive ambitions. In a statement from Ubisoft, it was confirmed, "Players will have the opportunity to experience an all-new mission that enriches the story and provides direct links to the events and characters expected in Beyond Good & Evil 2." While a new trailer for the sequel has not yet been made available, industry journalist Tom Henderson recently reported that Ubisoft has had promotional material for Beyond Good & Evil 2 prepared for over a year, highlighting continued internal activity on the project. With its fresh content and a strong nod to the ongoing narrative, Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition not only serves as a celebration of the original game, but also as a meaningful bridge to the much-anticipated sequel. The remaster will be available digitally on the Nintendo Switch eShop from June 25, with availability on other current-generation platforms as well. This release underscores Ubisoft’s commitment to its legacy IP and provides both longtime fans and newcomers the perfect opportunity to revisit or discover the world of Hillys with modern enhancements. For fans eager for more information on Beyond Good & Evil 2, all eyes remain on future Nintendo Direct showcases and Ubisoft announcements.
