The short version
- Developing a competent video game is tough.
- Some games are such masterpieces that it's a wonder how they ever got made at all.
- There are so many moving parts, especially since studio sizes are often in the triple digits, that kudos needs to go to the games that are released despite going through various trials and tribulations.
What happened
Beyond Good & Evil 2 is billed as an open-world action-adventure in space, and is a prequel to the events of the first game. According to a Eurogamer report on a now-defunct Ubisoft blog post, the player can create their own character and an interview on The Verge with Michel Ancel, the ex-director of the game, revealed it's more akin to an RPG than the first game.
Why it matters
Gameplay revolves around traveling from one planet to another, each one with its own society, quests, characters, and more.
