Ubisoft has been working on Beyond Good & Evil for many years already. Senior producer Guillaume Brunier wrote an update on Ubisoft's website, saying its Montpellier and Paris studios are working hard to release the game. The publisher plans to at least show off its gameplay sometime next year. 

With development steadily moving on this ambitious title, its team recently delivered an internal build that offers "hours of gameplay" in what it describes as a "seamless online sandbox." But Brunier emphasizes that his team is taking "the time needed to get it right. We want to go beyond the high expectations you have of us, and that we have for ourselves."

In the update, Brunier also acknowledges that the game's original creator and former director of this prequel, Michel Ancel, has left Ubisoft to pursue work at a wildlife sanctuary. Ancel and Brunier are quick to assure gamers that he hasn't worked on BG&E2 for a while, so his departure won't affect the game's development.
