Beyond Good & Evil 2 in the works

One of the most under appreciated games in recent memory is 2003′s Beyond Good & Evil. Despite a having rabid cult following and near-universal critical acclaim, the game experienced less then stellar commercial success. Because of this, publisher Ubisoft has been reluctant to create a sequel, but it looks as though director Michel Ancel is going ahead and making one anyways.

While speaking with French magazine Jeux Video, Ancel said that the sequel has been in pre-production for almost a year. A team of 10-12 employees has been working on the game, but there’s a catch. Ubisoft has yet to give the game the go ahead for development.
