Beyond Good and Evil 2 official artwork showing the main characters

[Update]: Ubisoft has shared a brief update on the state of Beyond Good & Evil 2 in 2020.

After being strung along with teasers and announcements for Beyond Good and Evil 2 for well over a decade now it would finally appear that we're getting the long-awaited sequel, or rather a prequel. There is very little information available right now, but according to Ubisoft Beyond Good and Evil 2 will allow players to explore a "profoundly multicultural world" that evokes the spirit of the original without leaning too hard on nostalgia.

How exactly all of this will pan out in the end, I have absolutely no idea, but you can get a brief glimpse at the current version of Beyond Good and Evil 2 through the recently posted in-engine demo video. The footage you'll be watching is from a pre-alpha build, so don't expect everything to be polished to a mirror sheen and completely bug free. If that's something you're willing to accept, here's the video:

As I've said before there is very little information available right now, but if you would like to gleam a few more tidbits I would suggest you head over to the official website. And finally, if you've somehow managed to miss the announcement trailer you'll find it right below. Enjoy!
