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.

Looks like good things are coming out of Ubidays 08 this year because today Ubisoft finally announced Beyond Good & Evil 2. In the trailer you find Jade, the main character, sitting on top of a car and the pig is sleeping the under the sun by a tree. There was no other details given about the game at this time.
