Beyond Good & Evil 2 PS5 May Not Be Dead Just Yet

There seems to be at least a couple of people at Ubisoft still working on Beyond Good & Evil 2, in amongst its Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed remakes.

A new job listing for a Technical Sound Designer was posted online by the French publisher within the last 24 hours, and the position is tied directly to the long-in-development project.

Part of the Montpellier team, the successful applicant will "provide technical solutions for integrating and implementing audio systems to ensure that the audio assets created by the team work as intended, in line with the Audio Director’s vision". Whoever gets the job will begin work on Beyond Good & Evil 2 "as soon as possible".

The game received a proper reveal more than eight years ago at E3 2017, with a trailer confirming the project as a prequel coming to PS4. Almost a decade later, it's never been seen since. Here's how Ubisoft is describing it in 2025:

Beyond Good & Evil 2 is an action-adventure open world game set in a captivating space opera universe and the direct prequel to the 2003 cult classic. Based on a breakthrough technology driven by the proprietary Voyager engine, Beyond Good & Evil 2 aims to offer a seamless experience of exploration and space piracy across a solar system full of exotic locations, colorful characters and mysteries to uncover, solo or with friends. So, if you are ready for an adventure like no other, come join forces with us to build System 3!

In fact, Ubisoft began work on, completed, and shipped a Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition of the first game during that lengthy development time.

That new version contains some new collectibles teasing events taking place outside of the game, which shall link into Beyond Good & Evil 2 — if it ever makes it to market. For now, it does at least seem to be alive. If you want to go back to that 20th Anniversary Edition, it's still more than worth playing, as our 8/10-rated PS5 review states:

"This edition brings smooth visuals, a beautifully recreated musical score, and well-presented supplemental materials. It certainly shows its age, but like all great art, Beyond Good & Evil weathers the test of time with grace."
