Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still ‘years away’

It has been five years since Ubisoft first announced Beyond Good and Evil 2, and unfortunately, there have been few development updates since. The game lost its director back in 2020, and now according to new reports, it seems that the game has been internally rebooted once again. 

Recently, industry reporter, Tom Henderson, revealed that Ubisoft was beginning playtests for the game. Now, he has had the chance to talk with some early testers and has seen footage and images of the game. In a new exputer report, Henderson claims that the game looks very different and much more incomplete compared to the gameplay Ubisoft showed back in 2018.

Testers reportedly said that the game “lacks direction” in its current state and is likely still “years away” from an official release. Of course, it is also worth noting that Beyond Good and Evil 2 recently got a new lead writer, so there may not be any story elements in place yet.

With new project leads in place, the game should start to take shape over the next few years, assuming the project doesn't get scrapped and restarted again.

KitGuru Says: It sounds like Ubisoft won't have anything official to announce or show for Beyond Good and Evil 2 for quite some time. Perhaps in 2024-2025, that will start to change.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
