While still not formally announced [as a project in development], BG&E2 is a reality for Ubisoft, who have already released a teaser trailer duirng the launch of Ubidays 2008. Contacted by our editorial staff who wished to ascertain the current state of the project, the French editor [PR guy? Not sure...] assure us that development was “going apace”, and has not been interrupted.

When asked about the ambiguity of statements made by the president of their American arm (“As for whether there will be a BG&E2, we’ll just have to see.”), the spokesman as the parent company wished to be reassuring: the game is still being funded and continues its genesis. Thus he wished also to officially dispel any rumours of the project’s demise [this sentence is -really- not clear-, I'm afraid]. Now we need only wait for official information related to the game—finally—to start flowing.

Although that is still not formally announced the existence of “Beyond Good & Evil 2″ is a reality for Ubisoft, which has even cracked already a first teaser opening Ubidays 2008. Contacted by the editor to know the progress of the project, the French publisher has assured us that development “taking its course” and was not interrupted.

Asked about the ambiguous statements of the President of the American branch, Laurent Detoc, in June ( “As to whether or not there is another [BG & E], it remains to be seen”), spokesman of the parent company has also sought to reassure the title is always provided and continues her pregnancy. And sweep the same time, at least officially, the latest rumors on the date in brackets project. There are now only waiting for communication around the track starts – finally – on the road.

If this is just to stir up hype: Stop playing with our feelings!

too bad really….

anyway, the first BG&E was very nice. let’s just hope that this ‘put-on-hold’ status won’t be long….

Honestly, does UbiSoft love to break the hearts of gamers? The release was never sure anyway, aha, yeah. They say that after they cancel it, or, to use an euphemism, put it on hold.
No, the trailer they released didn’t announce the game in any way, no, it wasn’t a sign that they started production, I guess that was a slight misunderstanding.
If the release was never sure anyway, why did they let gamers believe so? Why did they release the trailer? So they could disappoint us?
Appalling.

damn.
