Beyond Good & Evil 2 is increasingly getting into trouble: there is an important farewell
It certainly seems that way Beyond good and evil 2 finds it very difficult to find the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel: having already broken the unenviable record of being the longest game in development in the history of video games, even exceed a certain value Duke Nukem ForeverUbisoft continues to perform Changes in the development team hoping to find the right direction.
The project had several stumbling blocks, including continuous restarts of developmentthe farewell of the managing director and unfortunately even the death of the creative director at just 40 years old.
But until last year there seemed to be a faint hope: the hiring of Sarah Arellano as Lead author from the project: previously worked at World of Warcraft and last Saints Row.
And just a year after this announcement, the house of Avatar Limits by Pandora (which you can already find on offer on Amazon) gave us another unpleasant surprise: even the main author will no longer participate Beyond good and evil 2.
The screenwriter herself took care to reveal it on her X-profile when she revealed this with no small amount of frustration to be in a “purgatory”.as she couldn’t show other studios what she was working on, presumably due to confidentiality agreements, and was considered almost a rookie by other directors.
I’m in project purgatory and can’t show other studios what I’ve done. People look at my resume, see WoW, and assume I’m a fantasy author. A director literally explained the genres to me with examples, as if I hadn’t worked in multiple genres in decades.

There was no small surprise at this point, considering the last official update said it was being worked on Beyond good and evil 2title of it was repressed not long ago:
“NO. I was removed from the project when they changed the director».
Sarah Arellano then revealed what Ubisoft intended to do with the script Outsourcingi.e. relying on talent outside the company itself.
No. I was removed from the project when they changed the director. They outsource the writing.

Definitely an update not encouraging for the future of Beyond Good and Evil 2 which, if it actually sees the light of day one day, will be increasingly fraught with uncertainty and will postpone its exit from the market.
While Ubisoft waits to understand what will really happen with this sequel, it is already preparing to release a 20th anniversary remake of the first chapter, confirmed after a leak he even accidentally made it playable.
