Beyond Good and Evil 2 Update: Ubisoft Reaffirms Development Progress Amid New Tease
Ubisoft’s highly anticipated sequel, Beyond Good and Evil 2, has remained one of the most enigmatic titles since its announcement in May 2008.
Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, and helmed by celebrated creator Michel Ancel, the action-adventure game continues to attract widespread curiosity from the gaming community, particularly among Nintendo Switch enthusiasts eager for a major franchise return.
While details have been sparse, Ubisoft has assured fans that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still in active development, despite its lengthy gestation period and limited public updates. Earlier today, Michel Ancel ignited renewed speculation by sharing a captivating image via Instagram, featuring what appears to be a younger version of Pey’j—a beloved character from the original game—alongside an unidentified new figure.
The post’s caption referenced 'System 4,' the star system home to Hillys, the iconic setting from the first Beyond Good and Evil.
This carefully chosen detail has been widely interpreted by industry observers as a clear nod to the ongoing progress of the sequel. In a rewritten statement reflecting Ubisoft’s current stance, company representatives have consistently reiterated their commitment to Beyond Good and Evil 2, noting that fans should rest assured that the project remains a priority for the development team.
Michel Ancel’s social media activity further underscores the studio’s enthusiasm and creative direction, reinforcing the message that the sequel is making continuous, if closely guarded, progress. Beyond Good and Evil 2 has a rich legacy to uphold.
The original game, released in 2003 for platforms such as the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2, earned critical acclaim for its groundbreaking narrative, imaginative world-building, and memorable characters.
Ubisoft Montpellier’s ambitious vision for the follow-up is expected to expand the universe even further, offering an expansive, open-world experience designed to leverage the capabilities of modern hardware like the Nintendo Switch.
While no definitive release date has been announced, the project’s high profile positions it as one of Ubisoft’s most closely watched titles. Nintendo fans in particular have reason to remain attentive, given the company’s history of strategic collaboration with third-party developers.
Past partnerships, including titles that were partially funded to bring exclusives to Nintendo platforms, have proven mutually beneficial.
As Beyond Good and Evil 2 steadily moves forward, its potential presence on the Nintendo Switch—and the possibility of high-profile reveals during a future Nintendo Direct or via the Nintendo eShop—continues to be a topic of industry interest. For now, fans can celebrate tangible signs of progress.
Ubisoft and Michel Ancel’s ongoing engagement with the community signals that Beyond Good and Evil 2 remains on track, sustaining excitement for what promises to be a landmark release for both Ubisoft and Nintendo hardware.
Stay tuned for future updates as the development advances toward its long-awaited debut.
