We already knew that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is a prequel to Beyond Good & Evil, but in a new cinematic trailer that Ubisoft showed during its E3 2018 press briefing today, we got a glimpse of the original game’s protagonist, Jade.

It’s certainly a surprising reveal, not least because developer Ubisoft Montpellier said when it unveiled Beyond Good & Evil 2 at E3 2017 that the game is set “before the birth of Jade.” It appears that this trailer represents a flash-forward to a point that’s still sometime before the events of the original game, since Jade looks younger than she did in Beyond Good & Evil. And it seems that Pey’j, the boarlike animal who served as Jade’s guardian in that game, is on the other side of a galactic battlefield from her in this prequel.
