Beyond Good & Evil 2 Beta to Launch in 2019
Beyond Good & Evil 2 game director Michel Ancel has given a possible date for beta testing recently on social media.
Upcoming action-adventure Ubisoft title Beyond Good & Evil 2 is one of the prime examples of a fan-favorite sequel stuck in development hell for an extensive period on modern day considering the big-name developer/publisher it belongs to. Game director Michel Ancel officially confirmed the title a decade earlier in 2008 and then no one heard anything about the project until E3 2017, when an exclusive reveal was done for all the eagerly anticipating fans worldwide.

We haven't heard of single news of BGE2 since then and they decided to drop a gameplay reveal clip last month, which was also a work-in-progress video from a “pre-alpha” version of the project. Then during Ubisoft's E3 2018 press conference, an exciting cinematic trailer of the game is released and a partnership with Joseph Gordon-Levitt's online collaborative production company HitRECord was announced. The trailer detailed the key-characters involved and the premise it is based on.

So far, 2018 has been the year when we have learned the most about BGE2 but still a huge part remains unanswered. We don't even know a year of release or any other information that will help to keep track of it. However, Michel Ancel became generous enough recently in one of his Instagram post, where he was asked about the definitive releasing date, he simply said, "We aim for a playable beta for the end of next year", which means by the end of 2019, we can enter for a beta testing.

There goes another case of fans receiving more information from social media than official updates. You can see the doors to Ganesha City from BGE2 above, which bore the news for beta release date of the game. It's just one of the many aspects that the huge open world of this project brings to the table. There are many other incredible locations to explore in-game for our protagonists to space travel from the moon of Soma and beyond and that make sense as it's about a space pirate.

Belonging to the Space Monkey Program Ubisoft have in their studio, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is confirmed for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. There was rumor of it being a timed exclusive for Nintendo Switch but that was denied later. Considering their long abandonment in limbo, the development team is working tirelessly and making progress to an advanced level now, we only hope that it doesn't get delayed anymore than it already has and we get a wonderful experience playing when it is ready.
