Ubisoft's Michel Ancel has delivered some bad news for gamers eager to get their hands on a sequel to Beyond Good and Evil.

Ancel confirmed that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still very much alive and deep in but it is being aimed at the next generation of home console hardware.

He said: "It is still alive and we are very far [into] development so we cant go back now. We are targeting the next generation of consoles."

Beyond Good and Evil 2 was teased way back in 2008 and it has been rumoured to have been cancelled and reinstated several times since then. have appeased fans somewhat this year with an HD remastered version of the original Beyond Good and Evil on console download services.
