a rumor popped up on french site wootgaming last week stating that rayman and beyond good & evil creator michel ancel had left ubisoft, and work had ceased on beyond good & evil 2. it wasn't that hard to believe, given ubisoft's attitude toward the game -- which seems to range from nonchalance to outright denial of its existence.

according to a terse statement to eurogamer from ubisoft, ancel is still at ubisoft, and beyond good & evil 2 development continues at its glacial pace. ''''''there are no changes on the horizon,'''''' an ubisoft rep said. eurogamer then asked if the statement referred specifically to ancel still being at ubisoft, and bg&e2's development continuing -- to which the rep responded, simply, ''''''yes.'''''' apparently, even pr doesn't want to spend too much time talking about bg&e2.ubisoft: michel ancel still with the company, beyond good & evil 2 still in development originally appeared on joystiq on tue, 01 jun 2010 11:30:00 est. please see our terms for use of feeds.
