Beyond Good & Evil 2 Adds Assassin's Creed Shadows Writer — And Yes, The Game Is Still in Development
Ubisoft says the sequel is still in active development as lead writer Rik Godwin joins the narrative team in a support role.
- Ubisoft Bordeaux lead writer Rik Godwin confirmed this week he joined the Beyond Good and Evil 2 project in a support consultant role a few months ago.
- Development of Beyond Good and Evil has spanned 18 years under creative director Fawzi Mesmar, with Ubisoft Montpellier leading the project while other studios provide support.
- The project survived Ubisoft's existential reshuffle earlier this year, while Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake was cancelled; creative director Mesmar said, "Needless to say, I am saddened by the cancellations that has affected my colleagues in other parts of Ubisoft and the industry."
- Sequel characters appeared in the Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition, cementing a sense of firm direction for the sci-fi fantasy project despite no official release date.
- Typically a support studio, Ubisoft Bordeaux recently led work on Assassin's Creed Mirage and the Claws of Awaji expansion, with the team remaining committed to delivering a remarkable game.
