I’m charismatic when it comes to the release of the next Beyond Good & Evil title, however, the president of Ubisoft North America doubts that the squeal will ever get a release.

When being interviewed, Ubisoft’s Laurent Detoc stated that it’s possible that the title may never get a release date – when being questioned about the risks of the new IP.

“Yes, that worked out, but it doesn’t work out every time, and sometimes you come back to an IP that didn’t work because you still think it could have – like Beyond Good and Evil, which was leaked, so now people know we’re working on a new one,” said Detoc in an interview with IndustryGamers.

“Whether or not it comes out remains to be seen anyway, but we didn’t want to abandon that IP because it has a cache and authenticity about it. There’s something very pure about that game and it’s too bad that we were not able to build it as an IP at the time.”

He later then denied that the squeal had ever been confirmed.

“Well, I didn’t say there’s definitely going to be another game. I said something had leaked, which means we’ve been working on some Beyond Good and Evil stuff, but whether there’s going to be another game or not, that’s something for the future. But getting to your question as to why there’s work on the IP again, it’s a creative people business; the creative talent is interested in it and possibly exploring how to do it from a new angle.”
