Beyond Good And Evil Sequel May Happen

By Joe Haygood | May 16, 2008

Anyone that has taken the time to play through Michel Ancel’s Beyond Good and Evil, understands that a lot was left unfinished at the end of the game.  Originally planned as a trilogy, the first game had to go up against another Ubisoft property, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and got railroaded at the register.

After looking at the sales data for the game, Ubisoft decided to put the game to sleep and forget about the other two games, regardless of fan outcry, or critical praise.

Now five years after its release, word from Ancel is that he has been working on the second part of the game for a while now, and that he is hopeful that Ubisoft will green light the project soon.  The story is suppose to follow the continuity of the first game, and should have most of the gameplay mechanics of the first game, with some refinement.

No word from Ubisoft on this, but it would be great timing, considering the game recently came to Steam for a mere pittance of a price ($8.99). All I can say is that I hope all this comes to fruition, because it is one of the best games I have ever played, with a well though out story and compelling characters.  Ubisoft, make it happen already.
