Michel Ancel returned to the show floor with a heavy-cursing CGI trailer.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 was the last game shown during Ubisoft’s E3 program, but the French company (whose CEO, Yves Guillemot also was present) couldn’t have found any better game to finish than this one. Quoting Ubisoft: „The world – or rather worlds – of Beyond Good & Evil are back on the horizon with the unveiling of Beyond Good and Evil 2, a prequel and spiritual successor to the beloved 2003 classic. Helmed once again by developer Michel Ancel, Beyond Good and Evil 2 invites players to explore System 3, a vast solar system and a hub of interstellar colonization and commerce in the 24th century – and fans have a chance to help shape it by taking a role in the development process.

System 3, as it turns out, is a place where limited resources are viciously warred over by various private enterprises. The struggle for survival amid a rich milieu of evolved species and diverse cultures from Old Earth creates an ideal environment for space piracy, as a new generation of captains rises to carve out a piece of the galaxy for themselves.

As you rise from lowly pirate to legendary captain, you’ll traverse System 3 at light speed to explore freely on your own or with friends. Presenting its solar system as a massive, seamless online environment, Beyond Good and Evil 2 gives players the chance to dive into the foundations of the franchise’s universe while traveling between diverse planets and moons in search of adventure.”

Beyond Good & Evil 2 has no release date and target platforms yet, but Ancel wants our help with the Space Monkey Program. Let’s help Ubisoft Montpellier develop the game, which is shown to a few people behind closed doors at E3.
