Is Beyond Good & Evil 2 a Next-Generation Game?
As previously mentioned, Beyond Good & Evil 2 not only made a potentially drastic change in the game’s story, and thus its development, it’s also asking artists so submit art assets, music and more to be used in the game. Making these assets will take time, especially considering many of these potential artists aren’t professionally-paid like those Ubisoft currently employs, and on top of that, Ubisoft and HitRecord will have to take the time to comb through all of these submissions and determine which deserve a spot in their game.
What I’m trying to say is that what Ubisoft is trying to do with Beyond Good & Evil 2 is going to take a long time. This generation is coming to a close. It turns five this year, and many are expecting to hear about the next generation of consoles in 2019. If that does happen, 2020 seems the likely year for the release of these next-gen consoles. 2020 seems way too early for Beyond Good & Evil 2’s release, which begs the question: what consoles is Beyond Good & Evil 2 releasing on?
Sure, it could be this generation, but if development continues years from now, what’s to say this game doesn’t drop on the Xbox 2 or the PS5? We truly don’t know, and Ubisoft failed to say or show anything indicating when Beyond Good & Evil 2 will make its way into the hands of players around the world.
