Ubisoft’s upcoming Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition remaster will contain a “narrative link” to the long-in-development sequel.
According to Thursday’s announcement, the upgraded version of the 2003 action-adventure game will includea new treasure huntin which players can discover more about protagonist Jade’s childhood through cosmetic rewards.
“This exclusive new mission also reveals more about the narrative link to Beyond Good & Evil 2, showingUbisoft’s enduring commitment to the franchise,” Ubisoft said.
Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition will be available “on all platforms”on June 25.
Ubisoft first teased the sequel,Beyond Good and Evil 2, with a trailer way back in 2008. This was then followed by almost a decade of silence, before the game resurfaced at E3 2017, when the publisher revealed it would take the form of a prequel.
Ubisoft held a Beyond Good and Evil 2 live streamahead ofE3 2019, but the game did not appear at the show itself. The presentation revealed that a new, unnamed Ubisoft studio would be joining the five (Barcelona, Bordeaux, Mainz, Montpelier and Sofia) already working on the game.
It was announced in August 2020 that a feature film adaptation ofBeyond Good and Evil was in the works at Netflix.
