Only difference is that it'll be some time until it's finally canceled. Come on, we all know how publishers work nowadays...

More news (good and bad) = better sales. Good PR is very important for this game (original was a commercial failure after all).

Beyond Good & Evil 2 (probably) canned - report
| Quote: | A rumour has emerged from France that Rayman creator, Michel Ancel has left Ubisoft, which has subsequently seen the cancellation of his game, Beyond Good and Evil 2.
According to the French report, Ancel has left the publisher along with another "star developer" to found his own studio in France.
Apparently there have been internal problems concerning Beyond Good and Evil 2's development - which was supposedly well under way - and there's now strong reason to believe it's been canned.
The rumour's made even more believable by the fact we haven't seen anything of the sequel since 2008, when a single teaser trailer was released.
Earlier this year an Ubisoft exec assured journalists that the game was "still in production". |

That's good news - maybe he can make an indie masterpiece of the caliber of Rayman. For me Rayman is one of the most creative platformers out there.  |

@Leo agreed matey, Rayman is the bee's knees. Though I played only the 3rd one.
@Ixigia, When I saw the bump I thought it was a release date announced. Damn it, BGE was one of my favourite games. By favourite I mean top 5. A sad day for me.

Don't expect anything like first BG&E. It will be completely different game, since first game barely sold any copies. They'll probably change it to be more like Assassin Creed this time or something. Anyway, don't expect too much.

From Eurogamer, a somewhat longer statement:
| Quote: | Michel Ancel has revealed that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in development with a very small team at Ubisoft's Montpellier studio.
"It will take time. Please have patience. I'm sorry," he told the audience at a Montpellier games conference.
Ancel said that he is experimenting with new development practices and tools on Beyond Good & Evil 2 so he can keep the number of staff working on it small and preserve its "artistic spirit".
"On this game, we're keeping the team small, to preserve creativity and so the game doesn't become a commercial product, so that is has soul," Ancel said.
He revealed that he's been working on tools that will do the same for game creation in 3D as the tools - demonstrated at the conference - being used by just five people to create 2D platformer Rayman Origins (which was revealed at E3).
"It takes a bit longer, but we're very keen to use this system with this game, because it's an ambitious game and we want to create something exceptional," he said.
The tools and techniques, Ancel said, were getting close to those used in cinema by the animators at Peter Jackson's effects house WETA Digital. Ancel was inspired by working with Jackson and WETA on the King Kong game.
"At its base, it's about using tools to preserve an artistic spirit," Ancel said. "Perhaps one day we'll be the WETA Digital of Montpellier, which would be superb. It will take some time.
"But we don't want to go too fast, and that's a shame it's true, because the project is taking a long time to come out... but we want this project to be truly exceptional.
"[Beyond Good & Evil 2] hasn't been abandoned, it's an ongoing project, and we hope to do it in this way using these tools, that's to say making a 3D game with very few people." |
