Ubisoft's long-anticipated sequel, Beyond Good and Evil 2, has once again captured the gaming community's attention following the recent reveal of fresh concept art by legendary game designer Michel Ancel.
A celebrated figure within the industry, Ancel is best known as the creator of Rayman and the original Beyond Good and Evil, a cult classic released in 2003.
Fans are now speculating about the future of the series, particularly with increased interest in its potential appearance on popular platforms like the Nintendo Switch and expanded exposure through events such as Nintendo Direct. Earlier this week, Michel Ancel, who has played a pivotal role at Ubisoft Montpellier, posted a series of intriguing concept art images on his Instagram account.
One notable illustration depicts a shark clad in overalls, a clear nod to the species known as Carcharodon Sapiens, which appeared as key characters in the original Beyond Good and Evil.
This visual follows a previous post that similarly echoed the world and aesthetic of Beyond Good and Evil 2, reigniting interest and conversations among fans and industry insiders. Since its initial announcement by Ubisoft, Beyond Good and Evil 2 has become one of gaming's most talked-about titles in development, with high expectations for its eventual release.
The game is being developed by Ubisoft's seasoned team at Ubisoft Montpellier, recognized for their portfolio of innovative and acclaimed projects.
While Ubisoft has not confirmed a specific release date or platform details, industry watchers continue to highlight the significant fan base on Nintendo Switch and the opportunities for the title to reach new audiences through channels like Nintendo's eShop and Nintendo Direct presentations. In a restated comment summarizing the recent news, Michel Ancel acknowledged the enthusiasm surrounding his latest posts but emphasized that these images are a glimpse into the creative process.
He noted that while the artwork offers a look at character designs and the game world, today’s reveal does not equate to an official launch announcement.
"We’re excited to share creative progress with the community, and your support continues to inspire us throughout development," Ancel conveyed in clear, journalistic language. Beyond Good and Evil 2 aims to build on the legacy of its predecessor, combining open-world exploration with deep storytelling and unique character encounters.
The original title, celebrated for its innovative gameplay and engaging narrative, earned critical acclaim and has enjoyed a dedicated fan following over the past two decades.
Since its debut, the Beyond Good and Evil series has become one of Ubisoft's most beloved franchises, with continued anticipation for its next installment. As fans await further updates from Ubisoft and potential news of Beyond Good and Evil 2's arrival on platforms like the Nintendo Switch, the release of new concept art serves as a testament to the project’s ongoing development and the lasting impact of Michel Ancel’s creative vision.
For now, players and industry observers are encouraged to stay tuned for official announcements and future updates from Ubisoft.
