Ubisoft's latest corporate reshuffle, which shuttered several studios and created a new "CH4" creative house, confirms Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still active. The project, now under the fantasy-focused CH4 branch, has been in development since 2007 and hasn't seen a public update since 2020. Its survival comes as a surprise to fans who feared its cancellation.

The sequel's journey has been tumultuous. Original creator Michel Ancel left Ubisoft in 2020, transferring control to a new team. The project has been stuck in pre-production for nearly two decades, making it a notorious example of development hell. Ubisoft's statement that the game fits their "open world adventures" strategy suggests it remains a priority despite its long, quiet history.

For the industry, this proves that even the most delayed projects can survive corporate pivots. Ubisoft's restructuring aims to streamline costs and focus on major franchises. Fans now await a substantive progress report from the Montpellier team, which may come once the new CH4 initiative stabilizes. The game's eventual release remains years away.
