I remember picking up a used copy of Beyond Good and Evil for Nintendo’s GameCube several years ago. I bought it on a whim because the main character, in photojournalism style, used a camera to record a government conspiracy. It looked fresh. It looked interesting.
I was amazed when I played it. In fact, I kept my GameCube all these years just so I could play Beyond Good and Evil again when the fancy struck.
The game was never a huge seller, but it did drum up a cult following. However, the game’s developer Ubisoft was never firm on a sequel.
So I nearly jumped out my seat when I read this afternoon that Ubisoft has confirmed at a news conference in Paris that the sequel is in development. The company released a short trailer for the game and screenshots — the graphics look stunning. No other details were announced, not even an expected release date.
Chances are the game will be released cross-platform.
