Beyond Good & Evil 2 is coming, but Ubisoft is not ready to talk about it, CEO Yves Guillemot told Kotaku. “I don’t give comments anymore on BG&E2, because I think the next time next time we communicate we have to have something new. It’s coming,” he said. The long-awaited sequel popped up earlier today on an Ubisoft staffer’s CV, but may well have been upgraded to a next-generation release in the interim.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 was in active development at Ubisoft Montpellier from 2007 to 2011, a staffer’s CV suggests.

Good news first: Beyond Good & Evil 2 is definitely alive. If Ubisoft corporate’s overly indulgent “yes” didn’t convince you, perhaps a reassuring pat on the back from series creator Michel Ancel will do the trick.

Now the not-quite-so-good news: Ancel has big, big plans for the game, but he wants to carry them out with a tiny team. Translation: more waiting. A lot more waiting.

Speaking to Next-Gen and Ubidays yesterday, Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot said that Beyond Good & Evil 2 will be a more casual game than the original, a beloved title that flopped so hard it nearly broke its nose.

“We saw with Beyond Good & Evil that so many customers were extremely happy with the game,” he said. “We had a different audience at that time. We had more core gamers than casual gamers than we have today.

“We think the game was probably a little too difficult for the general gamers at that time. We’re going to make it more accessible and make sure that it’s really done for the new generation that’s come into videogames.”

According to this JeuxVideo story, Michel Ancel has apparently confirmed that Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been in production for the past year, but Ubisoft isn’t decided on whether or not to move into a production phase.

The story says that between 10-12 people are working on the game.

Don’t blame us if some of this is lost in translation.

Beyond Good & Evil was probably the most criminally ignored videogame in living memory, a genre-busting adventure involving political intrigue, photo-journalism and a hovercraft. Please, in the names of all the baby Jesuses, make this game.
