Beyond Good and Evil 2
Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been in development hell since 2007-2008, depending on who you ask. Michel Ancel, creator of the first game and Rayman, told a French magazine in 2008 that his team had been working on it for a year, but Ubisoft did not give the green light yet. A trailer dropped later that month showing characters that looked like Jade and Pey’j from the first game, but with no title attached. Another trailer leaked in 2009, only showing Jade running through the streets of a city.
The status of the game became unknown after that, whether it had been cancelled or postponed for other projects. Ancel said in 2016 the team did shelve the title for a while to work on Rayman Legends and other games, but was difficult to tell if the game was still coming out. That is, until E3 2017 when the game was officially announced with a four-minute trailer.
While it would be a nice surprise for this prequel to Beyond Good and Evil to finally launch in 2018 after years of uncertainty, it seems to be on a much better path than before with developer livestreams and more information.
