Ubisoft Announces Beyond Good & Evil 2

Gamespot is one of many to report that Ubisoft has announced a sequel to their action-adventure game "Beyond Good & Evil." "The teaser gave no details as to platforms or release date. However, as part of the company's earnings report last week, Ubisoft did say that it had a pair of unannounced sequels in existing franchises set for release by the end of March. Released in November of 2003, Beyond Good & Evil won critical acclaim for its mix of traditional action adventure elements with stealth segments, a picture-taking gameplay mechanic, and an engaging story of a young woman pulled into a rebel faction to blow the lid off of an interstellar government conspiracy.

    Honestly, Beyond Good and Evil is a great game. I'm really excited for the game even if the trailer makes things a little too realistic looking. The original seemed to have a few more filters running through it giving it a unique look, but of course this is an early video of the game. As long as the story continues from the last game's cliffhanger, I'll be happy.

    I can't see any obvious links to the trailer on Gamespot's website, so here's a link to it:

      I agree. If you like Zelda type games, and are looking for something different than the usual shooter or sports game - definitely try out the original on the PS2/NGC/XBox. More stealth, not as much combat - but beautiful environments and level design. Too bad the game took less than 10 hours to complete.
