To make a great game you’ll need inspiration, and the ideas that come with it. So here’s a question, what was the  inspiration behind the sequel to Beyond Good & Evil?

When speaking to French gaming website All-Gamers, Beyond Good & Evil creator Michel Ancel candidly revealed his inspiration for the games’ sequel.

“There were a lot of inspirations: the Miyazaki universe, my own inspirations, politics and the media; the theme of September 11 – the CNN show with army messages and the fear climate. And it was a mix from other universes,”  Ancel told All-Gamers.

He continued talking about the game in general;

“Yes,” he said, when asked if BG&E2 will be a direct sequel. “But it is better to discover that when you play, ha ha! But it is clear we want to continue the story – we won’t create characters, story. The story continues and we’ll react on important events of the first.
