Ubisoft still undecided on Beyond Good and Evil sequel
US chief casts doubt
Despite the publisher themselves having offered up a trailer said to depict a sequel to Beyond Good and Evil, Ubisoft North American chief Laurent Detoc has said that the firm won't comment on any of this yet - as the series future remains undetermined.
Screenshots for the much-clamoured for sequel have even been leaked, but Detoc is adamant that no new game is assured.
"Whether or not it comes out remains to be seen anyway, but we didn't want to abandon that IP because it has a cache and authenticity about it. There's something very pure about that game and its too bad that we were not able to build it as an IP at the time," the big cheese told IndustryGamers.
"I didn't say there's definitely going to be another game. I said something had leaked, which means we've been working on some Beyond Good and Evil stuff, but whether there's going to be another game or not, that's something for the future. But getting to your question as to why there's work on the IP again, it's a creative people business; the creative talent is interested in it and possibly exploring how to do it from a new angle.
"Ill tell you, I didn't know about the leak and neither did my boss. The problem when you do stuff like [intentional leaks] is if you get caught it's really bad. Looking back at our history, I don't remember anything we've done of that nature."
Just tell us, okay?
