If abandoned means canceled and ignored, then yes.
Last word was still in pre-production mid 2022…
Schrödinger’s video game
This games been in and out of development for over 10 years, I loved the original but at this point Im not even sure if gamers in general know this game is being created at all. Im still excited to see what they can do, I just might die of old age before hand. its still apparently being worked on however Ancel did retire during its creation, not due to the game being bad or losing control of it but due to just being ready to retire. I don’t know if it will be the same thing or even similar to the original now because of this but what can you do, hopefully the writers still working on it are using him as a source of information about the game world and fiction.
Ubi: development is progressing well.
Ubi 10 years later: development is progressing well.
PS6 launch title
Ubisoft will drop this and Skull and Bones on the same day just like Rayman and Prince of Persia then wonder why only one did big numbers
Last I heard it was in development purgatory.
Highly likely yes.
It’ll probably come out eventually, but, sometimes, dead is better.
since michel ancel left gaming industry the project can be considered as dead.
Vaporware.
Probably a victim of the *Ubisoft Video Game Development Decision Tree.*
Is this an Assassin’s Creed game?
YES:
Make this game.
NO:
Pour millions into development
Release teasers
Cancel without explanation
It fell into the infamous Ubisoft memory hole.
I’ve heard ubi canceled 3 games lately. So I assume beyond good and evil is the one of them.
I mean with what they showed and promised and their ambition, it’s not that weird that it would take ages to make.
I think the whole Ubisoft company is a giant pile of burning tyres and crushed dreams at this point..
I hope Avatar and that upcoming SW game will be good (made by the same studio, Massive)
As far as I know it’s still in development, but considering how long it’s been in development it might have plenty of issues
I’ve never heard of this game but IS THAT MONKEY A PLAYABLE CHARACTER????
Posts you can make in both 2013 and 2023
I actually go to a game dev uni and one of seniors is working on it as part of internship.
It has the world record for longest developmental cycle, over 15 YEARS!!! just past Duke Nukem Forever
It was never real.
Lol I remember thinking this game was close to release when the game director appeared up on the E3 stage crying, about 10 years ago.
Beyond 2 is the new Duke Nukem Forever.
I mean at this point it might as well be.
You know what s happend to d’une nuken forcer?…. i think same shit
After hearing about Skull and Bones’ SIXTH delay, I would not expect this game to come out any time soon, if at all.
IIRC Michel Ancel, the creator of Beyond Good and Evil, left ubisoft in sept 2020, and was later accused of toxic leadership. The claim at the time was that it was still being worked on but no news since then has emerged.
its in early development according to ubisoft
Could be one of the three recently killed projects
Devs should stop announcing games that are nowhere near complete. Sick of waiting for games, only to get cancelled and shit.
I’m actually playing the original for the first time right now so I hope it’s still alive

I mean, Cyberpunk 2077 was announced in 2012 and we had little to no news about it until like 2018. Ubisoft is generally a more disorganized company and also shovels out a lot of garbage year to year, so it’s safe to say people are still probably working on it, just that it’s nowhere near a functional or “early access” state just yet. Not to mention it’s lead writer (I think Ancel was, even if he wasn’t the lead writer he still played a big part) got the boot. We’re probably getting something before the turn of the decade, but I would lean to later than sooner
I dunno, I remember people hating that lady.
For REASONS.
Fuck
‘Is it cancelled or what?” is the tagline for the monthly meeting at Ubisoft regarding this game. I don’t think even they know what is going on with it.
Almost certainly dead.

Speaking exclusively to PCGamesN, however, Ubisoft says that development of Beyond Good and Evil 2 is unaffected.
“Beyond Good and Evil 2’s development is underway and the team is hard at work to deliver on its ambitious promise,” says a Ubisoft spokesperson.
It was developped by Ubisoft Montpellier, lead by Michel Ancel which retired during the project, it’s never good sign
Pretty sure the game have shelved and that the assets they created will recycled for the Star Wars game Ubisoft is supposed to make
Development hell. If I remember right the creative director also left the gaming industry all together after the Ubisoft cleansing.
They’re still recruiting for it regularly, so I’d guess they’re still working on it. Only short-term contracts tho, very few people are working on the whole project and they hire short term when needed. It seems a bit chaotic.
(Source : I live in the city they’re developping it in and ses their job ads)
It’s vaporware. Ubisoft will never officially cancel it, but it will quietly disappear.
Still in active development.
Source; Ubisoft talent acquisition won’t take the hint that I don’t want to work on a nightmare project.
From what I can share and know (mostly rumors); Ancel is supposedly pretty hands on and they kind of let him do his thing. Once he retired, they supposedly kind of reworked a lot. Supposedly it’s in production right now, but they’ve been telling me that 3-4 years every time they slide in my LinkedIn DMs. Last time was few months ago.
Remember when they brought Joseph Gordon-Levitt out on stage to get everyone to post their art so the dev team didn’t have to create their own?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Duke Nukem Forever taught us at this point you shouldn’t want this game to come out.
