Beyond Good & Evil 2

In 2003, an action-adventure game titled Beyond Good & Evil was released. Although it was well-received by players and reviewers, it did not become a commercial hit. Years later, it received a refreshed version in the form of Beyond Good & Evil HD (2011), as well as another remaster titled Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition (released in 2024 to celebrate the 20th anniversary).

There were unofficial talks about the possibility of a sequel to the work overseen by Michel Ancel (the creator of the Rayman series) starting in 2005. Nevertheless, the official announcement had to wait another three years. Subsequently, the project got stuck in development limbo, so the next batch of specifics about it didn't come to light until 2017.

Reannouncement

At that time, Beyond Good & Evil 2 was announced again, this time not as a sequel, but as a prequel. Its action was supposed to take place in a large, open planetary system called System 3, governed by the laws of physics and containing globes with real dimensions. The creators presented us with a vision of a production that allows for the free exploration of both space and the surfaces of planets inhabited by characters representing various cultural circles.
