Beyond Good & Evil 2 and New Prince of Persia "Could Take a While," Says Ubisoft

Looks like we could be waiting even longer for Beyond Good & Evil 2 and that rumoured Prince of Persia title. But don’t give up hope that we’ll see them eventually.

Speaking to IGN at E3 2014, where both games were conspicuous by their absence, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said, “We are not going to stop those properties.”

“We are going to work on them. The teams are really looking at what we can come [up] with. I think you will really like what you see in the future. It could take some time to make sure we are really delivering what we want.”

Aside from the release of some concept art prior to E3, the last we heard regarding Beyond Good & Evil 2 was that it was "too challenging” for Xbox 360 and PS3. 

Meanwhile, a new Prince of Persia title was recently rumoured to be in development using Ubisoft’s UbiArt Framework, the same tech used to make Rayman Legends, Child of Light and Valiant Hearts.

  • Take the time needed. I'm looking forward to both titles.
  • @1 - Maybe on the PS5. It's been coming for years. Loved the first BG&E by the way. But I'll believe it when I see it.
  • This game has been in development hell for too long, like the Last Guardian and Doom 4 it has become little more than vapourware with little to show for it.
  • @3 DNF
  • @4: At least Duke did finally put in an appearance, all Beyond Good and Evil 2 and Doom 4 have to show for themselves is 1 measly concept trailer and some screenshots.
  • @3: The BGE2 tech-demo from two years(?) ago didn't look too shabby. Though it would be interesting at how the old gameplay translates into today's standards. There aren't a lot of action-platformers anymore. As for PoP: I'm a big fan of the franchise, but it's a game Ubisoft shouldn't publish anymore. With their approach to put every other feature in every big game - what is there left of it? You have AC for parcours now, you can't put hunting into it (okay - you shouldn't at least) and you can't really make it more over the top Bay-esque. A a big title following their formula it would lose its soul even more than with 3D.
  • As long as that PoP game is a direct sequel to amazing game from 2010 then I'm sold, even if I have to wait another 5 years for it!!!
  • Of course it's gonna take a while since all they're doing is just focusing on milking AC and probably watch dogs soon enough.
  • Why won't Ubisoft bring assassin's creed 1 to ps4 with trophies ? I have been asking for this for years now , no instead it's a better idea to work on these 2 failed games .
  • You've had a while... Just wrap her into the AC storyline and be done with it. :P
  • I would forget about BG&E2... it has a female protagonist, you see. Heh, sorry, had to do the "Ubi doesn't care for female prots" kindo commentary. My bad!
  • @3, i don't think that it's been in development for so long, it's just that they held it to the side for a long time. If it was in development for a long time then we would have seen it out by now or at least some real gameplay.
  • @#5: And what about the Rockstar's PS3 exclusive game Agent?, was announced in 2009 and we never heard it again, the only thing we got was a title screen..., not even a video or teaser or concept art or anything!
  • I call BS!
  • @13: I'd forgotten about that one, I reckon that one has been cancelled as we've heard nothing in years.
  • Meaning a minimum of 5 more years
