ABOUT Beyond Good and Evil 2:

Journey to System 3, for the prequel to one of Ubisoft’s most beloved games! Fight alongside unforgettable characters in a stunning new solar system, as you struggle for freedom and the right to determine your own fate among the stars. Play the adventure by yourself or with friends in a vast and seamless online playground.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 is the spiritual successor to the cult classic, a prequel that will transport players into a profoundly multicultural world, capturing the spirit of the original with grandiose decors and intense dramas that play out across a vast universe. Through the Space Monkey Program, Ubisoft Montpellier will be developing the game alongside its community of fans.

System 3 has become the center of interstellar trade and colonization in the Milky Way of the 24th century, thanks to the creation of Hybrid slaves. While private enterprises fight over resources and power, the first colonists weave together the rich and diverse spiritual and cultural heritages of Old Earth to give meaning to their existence. In this new era of piracy, we will rise from lowly pirate to legendary captain at the helm of massive star-faring vessels, adventuring alongside crews of colorful characters to fight for freedom and the right to determine our own fate among the stars!

The skeleton in front of the TV is actually the remains an undead time traveler from the year 2078 who wanted to thank Michel for finally releasing the game.

This looks phenomenal. Excellent job so far, Michel.

Seems very ambitious. The idea of traveling long stretches of terrain (or space for that matter) in a very short amount of time with no loading is very interesting to me. And seeing that ringed planet interact with the terrain on another planet is another very cool idea. I hope to see more cool ideas of this very natural set of worlds being influenced by each other be brought together.

One thing I am worried about is that with all these giant open world games a lot of them tend to neglect a lot of interactions with characters/npcs, having strong narrative, and having cities and worlds that aren't fully explored or fleshed out. So I hope that the developers don't go overboard with just trying to create an impressive sense of scale and try to find a good balance.

Developer: Let's change the time of the simulation

This looks amazing. The level of detail is incredible. I'm a bit afraid that it's too ambitious and we might never see some of those ideas (just like in the first Fable).

[JordyPordy]

oh my god its an actual video game im crying again

[goldmemberpb]

If even fraction of what he is showing us here is in the final game, it would be pretty amazing.

I have a bit of a confession. I am a grown boy. You know. In my 20's. And I kid you not, I shed a tear watching the CG trailer. For the past 9 or so years, each E3, when Ubisoft was building up for their final game, I would always pray "Let it be BGE2 this year." And Always I would be disappointed. And seeing it on stage now, finally, after so many years... I was awestruck.
So kudos to you, development team, for sticking with it, and going on stage and showing the product of years and years of blood, sweat and tears. And if this demo is anything to go by, you are developing something that will finally give us what games like No Man's Sky and others have been trying to sell us on.
Fingers crossed, and may your years of toil pay off soon.

This looks so *good*...




and Evil too.

Still hoping this game comes out. Ubisoft don't let this project be wasted open world GTA style game in space so much potential plus it could compete with starfield Star citizen and even GTA VI if this project is done right.

[Xenc]

Looking forward to getting more information on this game in 2050

[jerryfitzgeraldhieronymusm]

Anxiously awaiting more, Mr. Ancel. You've never let me down before and I'm sure you will find a way to blow my mind again with this one. Good luck to you and your team!

[dead-channel]

[GhoulRUSva]

Jesus Christ... Ancel, take all time that you guys need to make this. We believe in you guys, you doing Gods work with open world VG

[Angelo-wfkf]

[Harry_M_]
