Ubisoft recently announced that it had canned a number of unannounced games including the Prince of Persia: Sand of Time Remake and shuttered a couple of studios, inevitably decreasing its staff. However, one thing that surprisingly survived this massive shift is the long-delayed Beyond Good & Evil 2. When asked why the project hadn’t been canned a long time ago, Ubisoft told Eurogamer the following:
“Beyond Good and Evil 2 remains part of our portfolio and our roadmap and fits with our strategy of focusing on Open World Adventures.”
The studio’s spokesperson added that within this market, “the fantasy genre is underserved”. Therefore, Ubisoft has a “unique proposition” with its Beyond Good and Evil sequel.
