"Last year's Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition set the stage for the prequel story by adding a side quest that allowed the main character, Jade, to learn about the people and creatures who raised her when she lived among a pirate crew while she was a child. However, it doesn't appear that the sequel will address the post-credits cliffhanger from the original game."
"Michel Ancel--the director of the original Beyond Good & Evil--stepped down from the sequel and retired in 2020. The game's creative director, Emile Morel, passed away suddenly in 2023. In 2020, Netflix announced a Beyond Good & Evil movie from director Rob Letterman, who previously helmed Detective Pikachu. However, that project never materialized. The only news of note outside of the game was a callback to Beyond Good & Evil in Astro Bot earlier this year."
Ubisoft posted a Hitmarker job for a technical sound designer on Beyond Good & Evil 2, combining sound design and audio technical lead duties focused on creating, proposing and integrating audio assets. The listing reconfirms the game as a prequel promising a seamless experience of exploration and space piracy across a solar system of exotic locations, colorful characters and mysteries, playable solo or with friends. The 20th Anniversary Edition added a side quest revealing Jade's childhood among a pirate crew, while the sequel likely will not resolve the original post-credits cliffhanger. Key development figures changed—Michel Ancel retired in 2020 and Emile Morel died in 2023—and a 2020 Netflix film announcement never materialized. A recent Astro Bot callback provided the only notable franchise appearance this year.
