Ubisoft does not appear to be in one of the best well being in the meanwhile, at the very least based mostly on the speed it is cancelling video games. Final yr it cancelled 4 titles, together with a Ghost Recon recreation, and simply final week it cancelled three extra, in addition to delayed Cranium and Bones for the umpteenth time.

Seems nope, it is nonetheless being labored on, regardless of every thing.
In a press release offered to Eurogamer, a Ubisoft spokesperson mentioned, “Past Good and Evil 2’s growth is beneath method and the staff is difficult at work to ship on its bold promise.” A bit missing within the particulars division, however hey, for these of you on the market desperately hoping for this recreation to launch, you may cling onto that for a bit longer on the very least.
Past Good and Evil 2 was first revealed method again in 2008, earlier than primarily disappearing off the face of the earth till 2017 when Ubisoft re-revealed it in a flowery CGI trailer. Some gameplay has been proven off since then, however the recreation has been mired in a number of cases of controversy.
For one, there was the time that Ubisoft employed Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s firm HitFilm to get a bunch of artists to do work without spending a dime, to which he responded to criticism by saying that paying everybody for his or her work could be “untenable.” Worse nonetheless, a report from 2020 claimed that creator of the sequence Michel Ancel, who was engaged on the sequel however ultimately left the trade all collectively, may very well be abusive in his administration model. All in all, the playing cards usually are not stacked in favour of this specific recreation, so we’ll have to attend and see what comes of it.
