Michel Ancel, creator of Beyond Good & Evil, is no longer involved with Beyond Good & Evil 2, Ubisoft's Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Ubisoft Tony Key told IGN.

When asked about the status of Beyond Good & Evil 2, which was once again absent from E3 this year, Key told IGN, "It's just a beloved franchise that gotten even more beloved over time. People ask me about it every year. So... We would love to do another one." That in mind, Key said, "There's just nothing to talk about right now. We don't really have anything to say. We appreciate how much people really want it."

When asked if Ancel was still working on BG&E2, Key said, "So he's a busy guy right now. But no.... He's got things going on and I can't really comment on his bandwidth. I know he's very busy. We still work with him on things." As of August 2014, Ancel was leading the sequel's development.

Ancel is working on Wild, a non-Ubisoft project, which was announced last year at PlayStation Experience.

Sadly I don't think this game will ever see the light of day. I loved the footage that leaked back in 2008, but since then we've gotten some pretty epic games so I don't think what we saw then would suffice in today's climate anymore.
