| gamefreak4ever said: Beyond & Good Evil 2 is still in the works..no official date of release...even see a trailer.. |
Reason why I said this of the sequel, was an article like the following:
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/26/gamersyde-told-beyond-good-and-evil-2-is-on-hold-ubisoft-won/
Bad news for you Jade and Uncle Pey'J fans out there: Gamersyde was apparently told last week at GamesCom that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is currently in the freezer with no thaw date. Staff writer Colin Solal Cardo tweeted that he received "confirmation" from Ubisoft that the title was "on hold for now." Joystiq's attempts to receive comment from Ubisoft have been met by either silence or a statement that the company will not comment on "rumors and speculation." Well, if no one at Ubisoft told Mr. Cardo that the game was "on hold for now" then why not say as much?
Ubisoft's noncommittal aloofness doesn't end there: a couple months ago the company's North American president didn't seem to recognize a sequel was in production; Ubisoft has yet to simply confirm active production of the game it chose to close out its Ubidays 2008 event with. So, Ubisoft gets fans riled up and now won't even offer a simple update on the status of the game's development. Classy!
When I see a title is "on hold" after a trailer is released, I understand it to mean that they tabled the project. The above report makes it look like it is tabled, with no sign of anything happening. I believe similar happened with Ghost. And, given the state of the videogame business and economy, it is more likely "on hold" will end up being cancelled.
