Beyond Good and Evil 2 in production?

According to Joystiq, which is in turn referencing Cubed3, a sequel to Beyond Good and Evil is in the works.

Due for release in 2007 on all next-generation consoles, it will undoubtly continue directly where the original left off if this turns out to be true. As those who played it know, Beyond Good and Evil falls into the “one of the best games in history” category, alongside the likes of Grim Fandango, Monkey Island and various other classics.

Sadly, like many excellent games in recent years (such as Psychonauts), it failed to sell particularly well, thus calling off all immediate plans for the planned trilogy to continue — kind of like Advent Rising, except that was supposed to be a bit poo. Still, the creator has always said he’d be interested in doing a sequel, so maybe his work in delivering King Kong to the masses earned him this chance.

If you haven’t played Beyond Good and Evil yet, I’m going to say one thing: go out and do so or you will be missing out to a degree that I simply cannot put into words — seriously. Drop all preconceptions, and just go play it. I cannot stress this enough. It even still looks pretty, especially on the more powerful pair of machines.

Anyway, considering that the Revolution will also be with us before long, it looks like 2007 is going to be a very pleasant year for gaming. I’m not sure what PC titles are on the distant horizon, although I’m sure we can expect S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to end up slipping into there.

Update: Now at the end of 2007, it’s become pretty clear that this was just a false rumour. Hopefully nobody got too excited, and I guess we’ll just have to continue hoping that the trilogy one day gets its chance. I’m not holding much hope though, admittedly.

Update #2: Or perhaps not! See my new May 2008 post regarding Beyond Good and Evil 2.

Unless you mean “PC”, of course.

When I tried the demo on the PC it looked pretty crap, despite the hardware behind it being fairly ace. I suspect that the blurriness and definition loss caused by traditional TVs actually works in BGAE’s favour as it masks the fairly basic geometry and textures quite nicely.

Of course, get it for the PC if there’s no other alternative! God damn, you will.

Neat, I guess I should finish the first game. And by finish, I mean purchase.

i finished it 3 times just to make sure i didnt miss anything.
Its 2007 now and i dont see a sign of it yet.
All i can say is, its as good as Zelda: Ocarina of Time ( which i did twise).
C’mon Jade, lets have the next installment soon ;)

beyond good and evil is the most atmospheric game i have ever played! brilliant. it needs a sequel and maybe a remake of the first game might sell better.

hmm.
it’s 2007 now, and it sure doesn’t look good for a BG&E 2.
of course, they may decide to surprise us, but i kindof don’t think so. I love this game just as much as everyone else and i really want a sequel. but i don’t think we’re getting one. :(

This game is worth more than the money i gave for it, it has it all for me, logic thinking is a very funny bit for playing games. For those who complain: Try to think logic and try to understand,the more you understand, the greater it get´s. Without that it wouldn´t be just as fun as this game was. I´ll give it a 10/10 and a hope for a second game!

BG&E 2, where are you?? This game is like a movie!! I LOVE THIS GAME! This game will make the player cry and laugh.. And still, the story in it is great. I hate the very end in it, when Pey’j notices the litlle scar in his hand.. its like a bad scarf. I had to start the game all over again to see, that everyone are allright.

still here waiting for a sequel.. :-/
COME ON!
The game was amazing, 10/10 as well. Normally I don’t like RPG games, but the characters in this were great, as well as everything you could do. It was like a real world. I just wish the game would have let me go back to earth and finish collecting all the pearls and stuff…

An amazing game, but with us now being near the end of 2007 and no BGAE2 announcement to be found it looks like it was a rumour after all. Doh. :(

Well, Ancel says he’d really like to make a sequel to it, so who knows? If he can only convince Ubisoft…

I hope they make a sequel! As was said - that bit with Pey’j is a bit mean to just let it linger. Just finished it after not playing it for ages … decided to dim all the lights for the finale, was perfect! Although, yeh, quite sad about not being able to free-rome to finsh of the greedy pearl snatching, especially off of that cocky shark guy in the bar. Let’s hope our wish comes true

There’s another rumour going round again… that Michel Ancel has demanded to get to make a project completely of his own. If it’s true and we’re really really really lucky it could be BGaE2 :)

Well the project is called Untitled Future Project, so anything could be possible.

Cookie: Firstly, calling Pey’j ‘the pig’ doesn’t sound that emotional :p
Secondly, spoiler!

Heh. :D

I’ve just put some spoiler tag-like formatting on that. Can’t have potential lovers of the game getting the story compromised!
