Beyond Good and Evil 2, the much-anticipated Beyond Good and Evil 2 release date.
On Wednesday, January 11, Ubisoft held an investors call in which it confirmed that Skull and Bones would be delayed until "early 2023-24" and that three unannounced games have been cancelled, as the Rainbow Six Siege and Far Cry developer combats a difficult financial year for 2022. 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.
Originally announced in 2009, Beyond Good and Evil 2 vanished for a number of years, before returning with a new cinematic trailer at E3 2018. Michael Ancel, director of the original platform hit, is also helming the sequel, a sprawling open-world game set in a "multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, human society in a distant solar system" called System 3.
Despite the delay to Skull and Bones and the cancellation of three unannounced games, Ubisoft has a range of projects in the works, including Assassin's Creed Mirage, the social and multiplayer-driven Assassin's Creed Infinity, and a remake of the original Splinter Cell. The Division 2 has also been re-released onto Steam, available at a substantial discount.
