Beyond Good & Evil 2 is back in “active creation”, confirms Ubisoft

Beyond Good & Evil 2, the game that has been regularly in and out of development over the last four years, is reportedly back in development for now, or at least until it’s back out of development.

“We are in an active creation stage and at this moment we are only focusing on the game and making it the best game that we can,” Ubisoft’s Michel Ancel said in a video interview at the Toulouse Game Show.

Although he wouldn’t confirm any launch platforms for the sequel, he did suggest that the game might be out only in the next-gen console cycle.

“That decision would just distract us from that objective. I can say that it’s a very ambitious game and we need some tech to achieve that ambition,” he said.

“We focus on the game. We create it first, then we’ll see what can run it. We don’t say 2013 because we don’t know when it will come. We’re working to create a great game and it needs more tech.”

We’ll let you know as soon as it’s back out of development again.
