Beyond Good and Evil 2 Release Date

The Beyond Good and Evil 2 release date has been hinted at by Ubisoft Spain on PC, PS4, Xbox One & Switch as Fall 2019, development delays notwithstanding.

What follows below is an overview of the sources that best indicate the Beyond Good and Evil 2 launch time…

Beyond Good and Evil 2 Release Date

During the E3 2017 show, 3 days after the game’s surprise re-reveal, the official Spanish Ubisoft Twitter account confirmed these four platforms as where the game will be released on with this quote “Video Impresiones E3 2017. Beyond Good & Evil 2 para PC, PS4, Xbox One y Nintendo Switch https://t.co/bYUz6IzyNh — Ubisoft España (@Ubisoft_Spain) June 15, 2017″. The tweet has since been deleted and the quoted information removed from the 3djuegos article. But it’s interesting to note that Beyond Good & Evil 2’s Snowdrop engine, a proprietary Ubisoft engine, runs on all four platforms including the Switch! Which is what was received with the most scepticism, but it can run on Switch, as confirmed by it being the engine that runs the Switch-exclusive Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle title.

And lots of online retailers, like Game Mania, originally listed the game is to be expected in the Fall 2018 Christmas / Holiday Season on the day of the Ubisoft E3 2017 press conference, on June 12th. Although it should be pointed out some sites (like the one linked above) have since changed their BG&E2 images to say “Expected 2019”. This indicates the game may still be in early development, more on that next…

Following the CGI trailer announcement on the Ubisoft E3 2017 briefing of Beyond Good and Evil 2, Ubisoft have released the very first gameplay video.

Creative Director Michel Ancel shows a behind-the-scenes look at the first in-engine demo shown at E3 2017. He highlights that despite being in early development — confirmed with video saying “Early in-engine Demo” at the bottom — the game’s open world planet-traversing technology is working and its scope is feasible.

You can find more interview quotes from Michel Ancel about this gameplay demo, as well as game artwork, on the official Ubisoft Blog.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 Description: “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!”
