What’s going on with Beyond Good and Evil 2? The game has smelt like vaporware for a long time, with Ubisoft not being able to show any real, concrete progress despite over eight years of development. Of course, last year’s departure of BG&E creator Michel Ancel under a cloud of toxic management accusations didn’t help the perception of the project. And yet, Ubisoft has yet to announce they’re cancelling Beyond Good and Evil 2, so could the game actually be progressing? Could Ubisoft mould the ambitious game into something releasable?

Well, don’t get your hopes up. Insider Tom Henderson has stepped forward with new details about Beyond Good and Evil 2’s development, and perhaps unsurprisingly, it seems the game continues to lack direction following Ancel’s departure. Perhaps worse, Beyond Good and Evil 2 isn’t really in line with Ubisoft’s future vision for its franchises, which reportedly includes turning both Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry into ongoing live service titles ala Destiny. While BG&E2 hasn’t been shut down yet, word is some of its developers think it’s only a “matter of time.”
