Despite some mystery surrounding the of Beyond Good and Evil 2, have refused to comment on rumours that the eagerly awaited sequel could be on hold.

Gamersyde had reported that they were told the title was on hold at GamesCom last week, although they were unclear as to whether this was a temporary or permanent thing.

This news came on top of word from Ubisoft executive Laurent Detoc, who told the press last month that he was still unsure whether Beyond Good and Evil 2 would be released.

"Well, 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."

This news came despite designer Michel Ancel having publicly discussed the title in the past, while a trailer was aired at UbiDays last year. How bizarre.
