''Beyond Good & Evil 2'' is a video game in development by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by Ubisoft. It is the sequel to the 2003 video game ''Beyond Good & Evil''. Intended as the first part of a trilogy, the original ''Beyond Good & Evil'' won critical acclaim but failed to gain commercial success. As such, the status of ''BG&E2'' was unknown for several years until it was unveiled at Ubidays 2008 in the Louvre in Paris, France, on May 28, 2008. Since its first revelation ''BG&E2''s development has been characterized in the media by uncertainty, doubt and rumours about the game's future. On May 28, 2010, a French website claimed to have insider information of Michel Ancel leaving Ubisoft Montpellier, thus putting ''BG&E2'' on hold. However this was denied by Ubisoft representatives shortly thereafter. Appearing at the Montpellier in Game conference on June 25, 2010, Ancel stated that the game is in development and that they are experimenting with new development practices to keep the development team small and preserve its artistic spirit. As such, the development will take "a while", but Ancel encouraged listeners to be patient. In 2011, it was revealed that Ancel and his team took a break from the development of the game to work on ''Rayman Origins''.〔''Game Informer'', Issue 218, June 2011〕 Speaking at an exclusive Ubisoft dinner in 2011, Ancel stated that ''BG&E2'' was far into development and targeting a release on the next generation of consoles. ==Development== The original ''Beyond Good & Evil'' game was meant to be the first of a trilogy of games. Michel Ancel has stated that he wrote the story of the ''Beyond Good & Evil''-universe to be longer than what is included in the first game, but because of the poor sales of the original game, Ubisoft was reluctant to invest in a sequel. Michel Ancel first gave a hint about ''Beyond Good & Evil 2'' in an interview with ''Nintendo Power'', where he confirmed that he was working on a new project that means a lot to him. He also talked about Jade (the protagonist from the original game) and said that he really hopes that she will continue to keep her values and her personality. Many rumours about a possible sequel appeared after the release of the first game, all of which seemed to be false until May 2008 when Ubisoft revealed a teaser trailer for Ubisoft Montpellier's new project which featured characters and remixed music from the original ''Beyond Good & Evil''. Speaking to a French magazine, Ancel cited that ''Beyond Good & Evil 2'' is a very personal project to him, and that he and his team wish to dedicate as much time as they feel necessary to it, in order to achieve the result they desire. He also affirmed that the gameplay will reflect aspects more in tune with the third-person style of ''Assassin's Creed'', than the first-person perspective seen in ''Mirror's Edge''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beyond Good & Evil 2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
