Efter bomben som var efterfølgeren til klassikeren, har vi nu nogle nye billeder af Beyond Good and Evil 2. Spillet der følger forgængeren der udkom for næsten 15 år siden, er nu inden for rækkevidde.

I de flotte billeder møder vi spillets besætning bestående af Dakini, Knox, Li Daiyu, Shani og Zhou Yuzhu. Her er også rumskibe, smukke omgivelser og køretøjer at se på.

Spillet har været lang tid undervejs og Creative Director Michel Ancel udtrykte hans taknemlighed overfor Ubisoft for at have fået tiden og troen på at spillet har kunne lykkes.

“We know fans’ expectations for Beyond Good & Evil2 are enormous, which is why we first wanted to make sure we had a concept and technology that would astonish players. I’m incredibly thankful to Ubisoft and to the fans for giving us the time and the trust to get it right.

We’re creating a sci-fi space opera, a game where players fight for freedom alongside unforgettable characters and explore a stunning and vast solar system, all while capturing the spirit of Beyond Good & Evil.”

Ubisofts CEO Yves Guillemot delte dette om hans mening om projektet:

“Beyond Good & Evil2 represents everything that we love about making and playing games. Beyond Good & Evil2 will offer a unique creative vision and game world, will embrace live game development, and will push the boundaries of the latest hardware to deliver a truly memorable experience.”

Vi har også fået fat på den officielle beskrivelse af spillet og det lyder således:

“Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, Beyond Good & Evil2 puts players in System 3, a solar system that is at the center of interstellar colonization and trade in the Milky Way in the 24th century. While private enterprises exploit hybrid slave for domination over resources, System 3 colonists struggle to survive and give meaning to their existence by weaving together the diverse heritages of Old Earth. So begins a new era of space piracy.

In this Action-Adventure you can play alone or with friends, everyone will take part in the intense action and drama found throughout System 3’s planets, moons and space. Beyond Good & Evil2 is being developed on Voyager, a new proprietary engine and set of tools the team at Ubisoft Montpellier spent three years building. This breakthrough technology is capable of generating vast worlds, tailor-made territories with rich, gorgeous environments, and robust online systems.
