Rumor: Beyond Good & Evil 2 in pre-production

OK, don't get too excited just yet. Videogaming24/7 translated a piece from JeuxVideo*, which states that Ubisoft's Michel Ancel allegedly confirmed Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been in pre-production for the last year. Apparently, 10-12 people have been working on the project, but the Ubisoft suits aren't sure whether to move forward.

Beyond Good & Evil has become the stuff of industry folklore at this point. A great game that just released at the wrong time and suffered terribly at retail for it. Even if this sequel rumor is true, it would still be years away from seeing release (sad face), but at least we'd eventually get to hang with Jade, Pey'J and Segundo once again.

*Internet cookies for the person that can give us a proper translation of the French story.

Now I REAAAAALLLY wanna play the first one.  What platform do you think it will be on?  I have a feeling it's Wii, not sure why, just a feeling.  I would think that an HD game would need more than 10 people in preproduction, right?

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I know it says 'rumor', but here's the French article they linked to, translated via a free online translator:

At the time of an interview granted to our colleagues of JeuxVideo Magazine, Michel Ancel (dad of Rayman) declared that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is currently in phase of préproduction. Considered as being the one of the better games of the year 2003, Beyond Good & Evil unfortunately had not right to the commercial discounted success. "I work on Beyond Good & Evil 2. We are in préproduction since a year, and we carry out a research work in small committee. But for the moment, this is at the step of preliminary sketch, Ubisoft did not again give his agreement" specified Ancel during the course of the interview. In slides, it announces that this are 10 to 12 persons that work on the project.

"We want to be in the continuity of the first one: a big variety of phases of game, a lot of emotions in the gameplay and captivating personages. This time we approach the planet future, the report to the animals [...]". Tempting, isn't that right? One hopes in any case that the French editor will give quickly his green light. And why not an announcement to the event UbiDays?
