Oh, how we’ve longed for the return of Beyond Good and Evil! Way back in 2003, Ubisoft gifted us with this platform game that quickly became a cult classic. Memories of Jade and Pey’j still warm our hearts.
While the anticipated sequel, Beyond Good and Evil 2, remains in development, it’s felt like a distant dream as Ubisoft focuses on their lineup of Assassin’s Creed titles, alongside Rainbow Six Siege and The Crew. But hold on! It appears that the iconic adventure might be making a comeback sooner than we dared to hope.
Two decades have passed since Beyond Good and Evil’s debut. On one hand, it’s a bit disheartening to realize the time that’s slipped away without a new adventure for Jade and Uncle. On the other hand, this marks a significant anniversary—a milestone that hasn’t gone unnoticed by Ubisoft, it seems.
A Mysterious Listing
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has unveiled a new listing that’s caught our attention: ‘Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition.’ The PC game is described as an “action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a reporter accompanied by a pig-like companion investigating a conspiracy on the planet of Hillys.”
This description aligns perfectly with what Beyond Good and Evil is known for. It feels like the right time for a return, and the pieces are falling into place. Earlier this year, a new rating for Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption hinted at its re-release, and indeed, it came true (although only for consoles). Could the ESRB listing be an indication of Beyond Good and Evil’s re-launch, possibly with updated visuals and modern touches? We can only hope.
Keeping Hope Alive
Ubisoft has assured PCGamesN that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still in the works, so there’s no reason to fret just yet. Patience is key, as these projects take time to shape and perfect.
The world of Beyond Good and Evil might be ready to greet us again with open arms. Whether it’s the anticipated sequel or a surprising anniversary edition, fans are undoubtedly excited to see what the future holds for this beloved game.
