Michel Ancel had a few words to share about the state of Beyond Good and Evil 2 while being interviewed on Double Fine’s Dev’s Play, and the word is that the game is “still happening.” Ancel states that the reason BG&E2 hasn’t progressed is essentially because too many people want it, and that’s like totally a lot of pressure, man.
“That’s the problem, [we have] no choice,” said Ancel. “[Beyond Good & Evil 2] has to be great. When we started [Beyond Good and Evil] there was not that much pressure. People are – the crazy thing is that [Beyond Good & Evil] was really not that successful and nobody talked about the game…and now, year after year, more and more people are talking about [Beyond Good and Evil 2].”
Look if this was 2011 then absolutely, I’d agree, but it’s 2016 and I think by this point most people have resigned themselves to accepting that it’s never going to happen.
